GT Solar Incorporated, a key global provider of a comprehensive range of equipment, services and technology solutions to the solar power industry, announced today that it has entered into a contract to supply Trina Solar with polysilicon reactors and converters worth $49 million.

Our technology and equipment continue to help the solar power industry meet the growth in product demand while helping the industry drive down the cost per kilowatt hour."

GT's VP for Polysilicon, David Keck, said: "Trina Solar is a recognized leader in manufacturing high quality monocrystalline and multicrystalline photovoltaic modules and is an important client to our team here at GT Solar. Trina Solar is focused on developing a strong brand in the marketplace, investing continuously in its technology platform and ensuring a low cost position, and we look forward to continuing to play a role in their success."
