Trina Solar leads the era of 500W+ output with its shipment of world’s first Vertex modules
2020.03.30

Trina Solar Co., Ltd (“Trina Solar” or the “Company”), a global leading provider of integrated PV modules and smart energy solutions, has just shipped the first lot of its Vertex series modules. The Vertex series modules, with conversion efficiency of up to 21 per cent, boasts power output exceeding 500W. With this shipment, Trina Solar sets a new benchmark for the global photovoltaic industry following the company’s announcement 11 days ago of the pilot line for the mass production of the Vertex series modules.

The facility waiting for the delivery, in Sri Lanka, has a capacity of 10 MW. It will deploy the modules upon arrival and is expected to complete grid connection during the third quarter of this year. Incorporating 210mm cells, the Vertex series modules integrate advanced three-piece, non-destructive cutting and high-density packing technologies.

The Vertex series includes bifacial double-glass modules and back sheet modules, delivering high peak power, high reliability, high efficiency and high energy yield. According to data from Trina Solar's State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology, the Vertex bifacial double-glass modules can reduce balance-of-system costs by 6 to 8 per cent and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) by 3 to 4 per cent. This comparison with conventional 410W bifacial double-glass modules is based on a large-scale ground mounted power station in China’s Heilongjiang province.

Trina Solar vice general manager and executive vice president Yin Rongfang said, "Our customers worldwide have shown a strong interest in 500W+ Vertex series modules, which are not only suitable for utility scale solar plants but also for commercial and industrial scale solar projects seeking to raise their level of efficiency. We plan to continue shipping more Vertex series modules to customers worldwide. The era of 500W+ power output is here, and the high-efficiency and high-power Vertex series modules are playing a critical role in the industry."
