Trina Solar Announces Charitable Initiative with Patrick Dempsey Organization, Dempsey Racing at 100th Anniversary of Indy 500

INDIANAPOLIS, May 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ — Industry leading,
global solar panel manufacturer Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) has become a
sponsor of actor/racer Patrick Dempsey’s Dempsey Racing Team. Together, the two
organizations will establish a solar charity initiative. The initiative will
increase Trina Solar’s brand awareness in the United States through the
sponsorship and promotion of Patrick and the other Dempsey Racing drivers as
solar ambassadors who will appear at different events, including the
Indianapolis 500 (“Indy 500″), America’s premier and most viewed automobile
race.

Through this collaboration, Trina Solar has identified Dempsey Racing as a
preferred motor racing property that complies with the Company’s principles.
Trina Solar also has become an associate sponsor of the Sam Schmidt Motorsports,
the Centennial Indy 500 Pole winning car of Alex Tagliani, and the car of fourth
position starter, Townsend Bell.

“We are delighted to announce this collaboration with Dempsey Racing and to have
their drivers as our solar ambassadors,” said Robert Muhn, Senior Director of
Sales (Americas). “This alliance, in conjunction with our charity projects, will
bring solar to the general public in the US and around the world. Trina Solar
and Dempsey Racing look forward to a long and successful relationship.”

“The 2011 season has already been a fantastic year for Dempsey Racing, and it
continues to get better as we join with Trina Solar in the pursuit of excellence
on and off the track,” Dempsey said. “The future of our sport and our world lies
in clean, renewable energy, and we’ve been looking for partners who can help
myself and the team actively promote these technologies on a worldwide scale. We
are excited to be allied with Trina Solar.”

While Trina Solar is already committed to a two-car team in Formula One, this
association is expected to elevate the company’s brand in North America through
the IndyCar series races and wherever the races are shown globally on
television, while promoting the wide-scale adoption of sustainable technologies.
The IndyCar Series is the first in motorsports to use 100 percent fuel-grade
ethanol in its engines.

The sponsorship will take the form of on-car logo branding on the engine cover
of the Dallara/Honda, ensuring excellent opportunities for worldwide marketing
exposure.

“We are honored to be associated with Trina Solar and the clean, renewable
energy industry,” said Sam Schmidt. “Though we are a small racing team, I
attribute our success to the fact that we align ourselves with quality companies
like Trina Solar.”

Trina Solar’s association with Mr. Dempsey extends the solar manufacturer’s
momentum as the Company expands its leadership role in raising solar awareness
throughout the world.
