System Value Assessment For Trina 600W+ Vertex Bifacial-Dual-Glass Module with Single-Axis Tracker
210 High-Power Modules Help Photovoltaic Composite Projects Reduce System Costs by 0.1-0.2 Yuan/Watt
Among all types of photovoltaic power plants, those used for agricultural solar lighting and fishing solar lighting come with the highest construction costs. This stems from the considerable challenges these projects hold – pile foundation, construction difficulty and labor cost – in comparison to more ‘normal use’ photovoltaic power plants.
The Remerging Battle Between 182 And 210: What Modules Are Really Needed For Full Grid Parity?
Following the silicon wafer size controversy in the first half of the year, the mass production controversies of Longi, Jinko Solar, and JA Solar surrounding 182 modules have once again moved into the spotlight. Despite these controversies, large-size silicon wafer is still the strategy recognized by the entire industry today as the means to achieve grid parity for the photovoltaic industry.
Duomax Twin: The value-added bifacial double-glass modules, with outstanding results of energy yield gain
As the first Chinese developer and supplier of bifacial double-glass modules, Trina Solar has devoted itself to energy yield empirical testing and market promotion of its Duomax Twin bifacial double-glass module since 2017. With high reliability and high energy yield performance, the product has been proven to be prominently effective in driving down system energy cost as the empirical data provided by multiple third parties have confirmed its energy yield gain.
The best solutions for large-sized modules in future? Hear what R&D “veterans” say
Wafer size increase has become an inevitable trend for the photovoltaic industry. At the manufacturer side, larger-sized wafers can increase the output of wafers, cells, and modules, thereby reducing the per-watt production cost; at the product side, larger-sized wafers can greatly increase the power of modules and raise their efficiencies by optimizing the design of cells and modules; at the system side, as the per-module power and efficiency increase, larger-sized wafer can bring down costs associated with brackets, junction boxes, cables, and land needed for installing these modules, thereby diluting the per-watt system cost.
