Industry leading, global solar panel manufacturer Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) has become a sponsor of actor/racer Patrick Dempsey's Dempsey Racing Team. Together, the two organizations have established a solar charity initiative. The initiative will increase Trina Solar's brand awareness in the United States through the sponsorship and promotion of Patrick and the other Dempsey Racing drivers as solar ambassadors who will appear at different events, including last week's Indianapolis 500 ("Indy 500"), America's premier and most viewed automobile race.
The sponsorship will take the form of on-car logo branding on the engine cover of the Dallara/Honda, ensuring excellent opportunities for worldwide marketing exposure.
Trina Solar's association with Mr. Dempsey extends the solar manufacturer's momentum as the Company expands its leadership role in raising solar awareness throughout the world.
