Nov 30 (Reuters) - Trina Solar Ltd's (TSL.N: Quote) quarterly result beat estimates as shipments more than doubled and margins improved, and the Chinese photovoltaic products maker forecast shiny days for the rest of 2010.
For October-December, Trina expects to ship about 300 megawatts (MW) of modules, higher than the 290.5 MW it shipped in the third quarter.
It also raised its full-year view to 1 gigawatt from 900-930 MW [ID:nASA015VF], as demand for solar products is driven by developers rushing deals ahead of cuts to renewable energy subsidies in key European markets.
Third-quarter profit more than doubled to $82.9 million, or $1.08 per American Depository Share (ADS), from $39.8 million, or 64 cents per ADS, a year ago.
Revenue more than doubled to $508.3 million....MORE
