Trina Solar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has announced that its full range <em>n-</em>type modules, including Vertex N 720W series modules, Vertex N 625W modules and Vertex S+ modules, have been granted Carbon Footprint of Products Verification by UL Solutions. This is an affirmation and validation of its commitment to sustainable practice. The award was presented at a ceremony in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, on March 4.</p>
<p>
A 500MW PV power station project in Gobi, northwestern China, is under construction using Trina Solar's 210mm Vertex high-power modules, including the Vertex N 610W and the Vertex 670W.</p>
<p>
A 500MW PV power station in a high-altitude desert region of northwest China was connected to grid in late December, all using Trina Solar’s Vertex N 700W modules. This further illustrates customers’ great trust in Trina Solar and its products. The plant, which has average annual energy yield of about 1 billion kWh, and which is developed and owned by Datang Qinghai New Energy Development Co Ltd, is part of the first batch of solar and wind power generation plants in the Gobi Desert and other arid regions.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has launched its new full black module Vertex S+ 450W (NEG9R.25), designed specifically for high-end residential rooftops globally.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has secured a place on the BNEF Tier 1 list once again, thanks to its strong bankability, the great reliability of its PV modules and its highly efficient 210mm <em>n-</em>type products. This consolidates its leadership in the PV and energy storage industry. According to the report for the first quarter of 2024, Trina Solar fully meets BNEF’s Tier 1 criteria, whose threshold is now much higher than was previously the case.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has announced that the first Vertex S+ 505W (NEG18R.28) rolled off the production line at its factory in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, on January 25, marking the beginning of mass production.</p>
<p>
As part of the Vertex S+ series specifically designed for commercial and industrial rooftops, Vertex S+ 505W just made its debut in Europe at the Trina Solar booth at Genera in Spain on February 6.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar, a leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, marked the 28th World Wetlands Day on February 2<sup>nd</sup>, themed "Wetlands and Human Well-being." Recognizing wetlands as the "Kidneys of the Earth," vital for sustaining nearly one-eighth of the global population, Trina Solar proudly contributed to the day's celebration by highlighting its commitment to restoring wetland ecology and promoting sustainable habitats.</p>
<p>
In the three-month empirical testing period, Trina Solar’s Vertex S+ 445W and Vertex S+ 450W modules demonstrated energy yield increase of 3.09% and 2.77% compared with reference <em>p</em>-type modules. Excellent performance under low irradiance conditions was also exhibited in the tests, which are continuing.</p>
