Trina Solar was elected as a member of the Energy, Sustainability, and Climate Task Force at the Business 20 Summit, a two-day major sub-event of the G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia which concluded on November 14.

Chairman Gao Jifan of Trina Solar, a global photovoltaics leading enterprise committed to smart solar energy solutions for a net-zero future, has called for a global concerted effort in achieving carbon neutrality goals.

He made the above remarks at the summit, with "Advancing innovative, inclusive and collaborative growth" as its theme and energy, sustainability, and climate among the major subjects.

Efforts need to be made in four key areas, said Gao, noting that a vigorous effort is required to develop PV energy, the development of energy storage systems ought to be accelerated, everything possible should be done to develop hydrogen energy and smart grids should be put into place.

"I was keen to engage with global business leaders at the summit and continue to discuss innovation-driven and low-carbon transformation of the energy sector," said Gao, adding that a global consensus has been reached that more need to be done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, tackle climate change and promote energy transformation. In that process, PV will become the main driving force of energy transformation.
