Trina Solar announced it has achieved a new world record for power output for its multi-crystalline silicon PV module.
To be precise, Trina Solar State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology has set power output record of 324.5Wp from Honey Plus multi-crystalline silicon PV module which has been independently certified by TUV Rheinland.
The multi-crystalline silicon module is composed of 60 high-efficiency Honey Plus multi-crystalline silicon cells (156×156mm2) produced with advanced technologies including back surface passivation and local back surface field.
Recently Trina Solar also reached a new world record for its Honey Plus p-type PERC cell which reached an efficiency of 20.76 percent as independently confirmed by Fraunhofer ISE CalLab inGermany.
Trina Solar has set four new world records in 2014 for p-type PERC cells and modules. These include new records for large-area (156×156 mm2) p-type silicon substrates of 21.40 percent for mono-crystalline and 20.76 percent for multi-crystalline silicon solar cells, as well as new peak power output records for commercial PV modules of 335.2Wp for mono-crystalline and 324.5Wp for multi-crystalline silicon solar cells, the company said in a statement.
“At the Trina Solar State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology (SKL PVST), our focus is on delivering meaningful scientific and technological innovations,” said Dr. Zhiqiang Feng, vice president of Trina Solar and director of the SKL PVST.
These R&D breakthroughs continue to demonstrate Trina Solar’s position as the leader in technological innovations in the solar industry and sets base for future mass production of high efficiency products,” Feng added.
