“Trina Solar is uniquely qualified to provide solar panels to this project,” said Tom Dotson, Vice President at AMEC. “Their modules' track-record of proven performance and their strong balance sheet made them an easy choice for Copper Mountain Solar 3.”

“The selection of Trina Solar for this record-breaking project is a strong endorsement of our capabilities in meeting the evolving demands of our customers in a maturing market,” said Mark Mendenhall, President of Trina Solar Americas.

According to a research note from Deutsche Bank analyst, Vishal Shah Trine Solar shipped 325MW of modules to the US in 2011 and around 400MW to the US in 2012.

“Between this project and other similar large US utility scale projects along with Chinese demand, we expect 2014 visibility for Trina to improve significantly. Increased utility scale shipments along with strong growth in US residential segment should enable the company to nearly double U.S shipments in 2014 timeframe,” noted Shah in his investor note.

Shah also highlighted that First Solar had been the module supplier for previous Copper Mountain projects.

The project will be owned and operated by Sempra U.S. Gas & Power.
