Trina withdraws Sec. 337 investigation complaint against Canadian Solar

Trina Solar has requested updates to its Sec. 337 of the Tariff Act investigation against various competitors producing TOPCon solar panel products. Trina in October 2024 requested the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) complete the investigation, which would direct U.S. Customs to stop infringing imports from entering the United States, against TOPCon solar imports from Runergy, Adani Green Energy and Canadian Solar.

Before the end of last year, Trina said in documents filed with the ITC that it had reached an agreement with Canadian Solar and its affiliates and wished to withdraw the complaint and terminate the investigation. Separately, Trina said it met with Adani and wishes to withdraw its complaint against the Indian company, instead adding Mundra Solar PV (an Adani subsidiary) as the company under investigation. Trina intends to continue the complaint against Runergy and now Mundra.

This Sec. 337 investigation request originates with TOPCon patent infringement claims filed by Trina against the companies. Trina claims that Runergy and Canadian Solar are infringing on two of Trina’s patents (Nos. 9,722,104 and 10,230,009). While a Sec. 337 investigation is ongoing, the patent infringement cases are stayed.

GOODBYE OLD WAYS

It’s okay to break tradition. Today’s electricity needs are more sophisticated than ever, making traditional power a thing of the past. Switching to solar helps you get with the times while saving the planet.

GREEN CONSCIOUSs

Traditional power has adverse environmental effects from the coal and natural gases combusted during production. Solar offers all of the power with no extra cost and no harmful polutions..

POWERED BY THE SUN

Rather than digging up fossil fuels, solar energy is clean power from the sun - a renewable fuel source that won't go out in our lifetime. Every kW lowers your carbon footprint by over 3K pounds annually.
