Trina Solar, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of solar panels, responded on Tuesday to a lawsuit brought by a major customer in connection with purchase agreements worth nearly $300 million. The suit, filed by Hueston Hennigan on behalf of TotalEnergies Renewables USA and affiliated businesses, alleges that Trina fraudulently induced the plaintiffs to enter agreements for the supply of photovoltaic solar modules and then exploited the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain shortages to demand a higher price. Trina’s counsel at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom removed the lawsuit to California Northern District Court on Tuesday. The case is 3:22-cv-04599, TotalEnergies Renewables USA, LLC et al v. Trina Solar (U.S.), Inc. et al.
