The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Wind Tunnel Tests for Solar Trackers
The industry-wide adoption of large-format modules means that solar systems have become bigger than ever, resulting in higher flexibility of the tracker structure and increased susceptibility to wind-induced damage. Yet, building codes do not consider the aeroelastic effects of winds on solar trackers. Wind tunnel tests are hence needed to examine the aerodynamic stability of …
Solving Asia Pacific’s Renewable Energy Challenges with Battery Storage
As we reported in our comprehensive guide to The Renewable Energy Transition, battery storage will continue to be the enabling link between intermittent renewable generation and grid reliability with the potential to have a very significant impact on decarbonization of our energy systems. As installation costs become more cost-efficient with strong ROIs, the light is …

What is Spherical Bearing? All You Need to Know About This Revolutionary Design
The bearing gives the solar tracker the ability to rotate and track the sun. It is a critical piece of the tracker system because it anchors the torque tube, supports the weight of the torque tubes and array, and prevents the torque tubes from lifting during high winds. Traditionally, solar trackers came with a cylindrical bearing, …
Trina Solar Supporting Uzbekistan’s Renewable Energy Transition
Trina Solar, the leading global PV and smart energy total solution provider, has been supporting Uzbekistan’s transition to renewable energy. The Uzbekistan government’s 2020-2030 power plan set a target of 5GW of additional solar power capacity. Even though Uzbekistan experiences 330 sunny days annually, solar power today accounts for less than one percent of the energy mix. But International Renewable Energy …
The Renewable Energy Transition Explained: Challenges, Solutions, And Why It Is Important
With the cost-of-living crisis being felt around the world and oil and gas prices at record highs, there has never been more focus and attention given to our fragile energy networks. We hear almost daily reports about gas pipelines being switched on and off and our electricity supply being dependent on factors which we cannot …
