Trina Solar Co has signed an agreement with the Al Raebi for Trading Company to be its authorised distributor in Yemen. The agreement comes as a further commitment of Trina Solar's expansion plans and towards increasing its footprint in the Middle East & Africa region, said a statement. Al-Rabei's appointment as authorised distributor will ensure that Trina Solar's quality service and products will be available by supplying tier 1 PV modules with high reliability and solid performance to consumers across the Yemeni market. Yemen is well positioned to benefit from the huge potential of PV applications because it boasts rich light resources. The country is in urgent need of best-of-breed PV products and solutions to address the domestic electricity shortage, the statement said. Trina Solar and Al-Rabei had signed a deal earlier to supply 6MW of Vertex series modules to high-efficiency distributed PV projects in the Middle East.
