Trinasolar, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) module technology and smart energy solutions, concluded a highly successful showcase at RE+ 2024 in Anaheim, California. At the event, the company introduced its latest innovations in solar technology and integrated energy solutions.
New High Power and Hail-and Wind-Resistant Vertex Modules Unveiled
On the first day of the event, visitors witnessed Trinasolar’s unveiling of its advancements in n-type TOPCon technology, including new hail-and-wind-resistant Vertex modules, the upgraded Vertex N, and a groundbreaking 2000V module prototype. Powered by 210mm n-type TOPCon cells, these modules demonstrate industry-leading efficiency and durability, catering to utility-scale, commercial, and residential solar applications.
Trinasolar introduced new hail-and-wind-resistant Vertex modules featuring 3.22mm glass and a robust backsheet: the 620W Vertex N with up to 23% efficiency for commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale solar applications is third-party tested to confirm reliability and performance, showing no defects in tests with hailstones up to 55mm at 34 m/s and 65mm at a 60-degree impact angle. The 445W Vertex S+, with up to 22.3% efficiency for residential projects, is optimized for up to 5400Pa wind resistance and hailstones up to 45mm. Designed for residential applications with a sleek all-black appearance, Vertex S+ is the ideal choice for homeowners seeking high-powered, space-efficient solar solutions.
Also on display was the n-type TOPCon Vertex N 720W module, with up to 23.2% efficiency and the potential to enhance energy production in utility-scale solar projects, offering unparalleled reliability and performance.
The company also unveiled a new 2000V prototype, a significant technological advancement with the potential to lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) substantially by reducing balance-of-system (BOS) and labor costs.
A Full Suite of Integrated Solutions
In addition to its module innovations, Trinasolar presented a comprehensive suite of integrated energy solutions. The TrinaPro total solar solution, which bundles Vertex modules, inverters, trackers, and energy storage technologies, attracted significant attention for its ability to streamline procurement, ensure component compatibility, and optimize system performance for even greater BOS savings to lower LCOE even more for utility-scale, commercial, and community solar projects.
The operational TrinaTracker Vanguard 1P, an advanced single-row tracker, displayed its enhanced reliability and increased power generation capabilities. This tracker is adaptable to various weather conditions and fully compatible with ultra-high-power modules, offering flexibility across different solar installations.
TrinaStorage’s Elementa, a new advanced battery energy storage system, was in the spotlight at the conference’s outdoor exhibit. Featuring a scalable and modular architecture, this system includes a 10MWh Cell-to-AC solution and cutting-edge 314Ah Trina LFP cells, providing enhanced safety, efficiency, and an extended lifespan, making it a key solution for utility-scale energy management.
“We are thrilled with the interest and excitement our technologies received at RE+ 2024,” said Steven Zhu, President of Trinasolar US. “Our n-type TOPCon Vertex modules and integrated energy solutions are setting new benchmarks for efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, and we are proud to be at the forefront of the solar industry’s evolution.”
Trinasolar’s Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing
Trinasolar’s participation at RE+ 2024 underscored its commitment to driving innovation in the solar industry while supporting the U.S. market through domestic manufacturing and job creation. The company’s manufacturing facility in Wilmer, Texas, is set to begin production in Q4 2024 and be fully operational in 2025. Once fully operational, the facility will provide over 1,300 local jobs, furthering the company’s investment in the Dallas region and its commitment to the US market.
