Trina Solar reported first-half revenue of 31.985 billion yuan, up 2.99 percent year-on-year, with a net loss attributable to shareholders of 270 million yuan, a significant improvement from the 2.918 billion yuan loss in the same period last year. This was mainly due to a gain of approximately 2.848 billion yuan from the disposal of T1 Energy Inc. shares.
