Trina Solar, a globally recognized leader in photovoltaic (PV) and smart energy solutions, has announced a groundbreaking achievement in the renewable energy sector.
On August 18, the company commenced the mass production of its highly anticipated Vertex N 700W+ series modules, setting a new industry standard with their impressive efficiency. These modules have reached an outstanding module efficiency of 22.5 percent, positioning Trina Solar as the pioneer in mass producing TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules that surpass 700W in power output.
The Vertex N 700W+ series modules are underpinned by the innovative n-type i-TOPCon Advanced technology, introduced by Trina Solar in May. Demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, the first n-type i-TOPCon cells successfully rolled off the production line earlier this month in Qinghai province, achieving a remarkable cell efficiency of 25.8 percent. As 2023 progresses, Trina Solar’s cell capacity is projected to reach an impressive 75GW, with 40GW of n-type cells equipped with the cutting-edge n-type i-TOPCon Advanced technology.
The significance of this advancement is underscored by a series of comprehensive tests conducted by the Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC). Additionally, a UL Panfile test report has affirmed that Trina Solar’s Vertex N modules exhibit superior performance in terms of temperature coefficients and low-light environments when compared to traditional p-type modules. This marked improvement is expected to result in an up to 3.96 percent increase in annual power generation when deployed in real-world scenarios.
Trina Solar’s Vertex N modules have garnered acclaim from end customers, propelling the company into various high-profile utility power plant projects. One such project involves a photovoltaic power plant integrated with a seawater desalination facility in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, where the Vertex N 700W+ series modules are being utilized. Similarly, a significant 500MW photovoltaic power station underway in Xinghai county, Qinghai province, has also adopted the Vertex N 700W+ series modules, demonstrating the broad application and trust in Trina Solar’s cutting-edge technology.
Looking ahead, Trina Solar is committed to ongoing advancements, with plans to continuously enhance the power output of the Vertex N modules by an additional 10-15W in the coming year. With these remarkable achievements, Trina Solar is solidifying its position at the forefront of the global solar energy revolution, offering innovative solutions that drive the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
