Trina Solar has been selected to supply 60MW of PV modules to Xinyi Solar, a solar PV glass manufacturer in China , the company said in a statement today.
The announcement comes in close heels of its recent agreement with Linuo Solar Power Company to supply 23 MW photovoltaic solar modules for a power project in China’s Shandong province.
Xinyi Solar will use Trina Solar’s modules for its utility scale and agricultural greenhouse solar projects in Anhui, China. The project will use 5MW of Trina Solar’s TSM-PC05A modules, 30MW of TSM-PC14 modules, as well as 25 MW of the Company’s state-of-the-art dual glass TSM-PDG5 modules.
Dual glass PDG5 modules have certain advantages over conventional glass modules. They provide appropriate transmittance of sun light, which better maintains greenhouse temperatures. The modules also offer high performance in harsh environments.
Shipment of the modules is expected to be completed by August 2014, Trina Solar said.
Zhiguo Zhu, Module Business Unit president of Trina Solar, said Trina Solar modules, with their extended 30-year warranty, will be able to maintain a stable output throughout the course of their life time.
Trina Solar’s PDG5 is a UL/IEC certified frameless module that comprises two layers of 2.5mm heat-strengthened glass. PDG5 provides UL Fire Class A safety and reduces micro-cracking, Potential Induced Degradation (PID), module warping, UV aging, and corrosion from sand, acid, alkali and salt mist.
