Trina shipped 1.66GW of solar panels in the second quarter of 2016, a 26% increase on the same period of last year, thanks to the buoyant Chinese market.
Revenue rose 25% to $961.6m compared with a year ago as net profit remained stable at just over $40m.
The Chinese manufacturer shipped 39.3MW of panels for its own projects and connected 320.8MW of solar capacity in China, taking advantage of the fast-growing market.
It also sold 11.2 MW of photovoltaic projects in the UK and Italy.
Earlier this month, Trina agreed to be acquired by an investor consortium in a $1.1bn cash deal that´s expected to close in the first quarter of 2017.
“We had another solid quarter with major financial and operational metrics improving across the board,” chief executive Jifan Gao said.
“Module shipments were driven mainly by continued demand from China ahead of the expected subsidy policy adjustment.”
