I have been curious to hear about folks experience with Trina, which makes a very high efficiency module (~19%) I am also intrigued by Yingli, partly because of all their advertising during the FIFA World Cup, speaking of marketing.

In any event, experimenting on my clients with a new product from a Chinese manufacturer is something I will not do.
