On September 8th, S&P Global Commodity Insights unveiled its inaugural Tier 1 Cleantech Companies list, covering solar PV modules, inverters, energy storage systems and wind turbines. Trinasolar was included in the Tier 1 list for both solar PV modules and energy storage systems, a recognition of its strong market presence, global footprint and commitment to sustainable practices. The S&P Global Tier 1 list serves as a trusted benchmark for industry players, providing guidance for developers, investors, and buyers seeking reliable and resilient partners in the renewable energy space.
S&P Global Commodity Insights’ Tier 1 assessment evaluates global manufacturers across six key dimensions, including market presence, market share, scale, global diversification, corporate sustainability assessments and financial performance. To qualify as Tier 1, companies must excel in at least four out of the six categories.
