Chinese solar panel maker Trina Solar is planning to build its third factory in Vietnam, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters, a move that would boost exports to the United States following punitive duties to be imposed on products it makes in Thailand. Trina, one of the world's biggest solar panel makers by sales, would invest $400 million in the plant that would span 25 hectares of industrial land. Another person who was involved in discussions with the company said Trina had flagged $600 million in possible investment in Vietnam.
