(Reuters) - China's Trina Solar Ltd said it will supply U.S. solar firm SunEdison with about 35 megawatts of photovoltaic modules over the rest of this year, pushing its shares up 5 percent to a 1-week high.
The modules, which will be sold by Trina Solar's U.S. unit, are expected to be used for projects in North America and Europe by SunEdison, which is a subsidiary of silicon maker MEMC Electronic Materials Inc.
Trina Solar had said in May it expected the United States to account for more of its global shipments in the second half as European governments cut back subsidies and as the U.S. market emerged as a leading growth area for the renewable power source.
