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.

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.

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.

Trina Solar is proud to announce that TrinaPro has been applied to the Marchihue project with a capacity of 3MW in Chile, and the project has been officially put into commercial operation since February 2019.

Trina Solar Co., Ltd., the world leading global PV and smart energy total solution provider, announced that the company has registered its 500 MW photovoltaic (PV) power project in Hegang, Heilongjiang province and won the bid for a 250 MW PV power project in Qiqihar, also located in Heilongjiang. Both projects have been included in the list of China’s first batch of grid-parity PV projects.

Over the past decade, China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has not only enjoyed a faster iteration of technical routes, but also witnessed a remarkable progress in the field of science and technology. It has thus become one of world’s leading industries marching ahead step by step. In these circumstances, PV companies can succeed in outdistancing their rivals only if they keep fighting tooth and nail on the technology and R&D front. It is evident that no leading companies in the field of PV manufacturing can stand in the long run without solid technical strength.

Solar trackers have become important components of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Their ability to track the changing position of the sun in the sky can dramatically boost the energy gains of PV systems, by as much as 25 to 35 percent in some cases according to EnergySage.

We sat down with Mr. Yin, vice president of Trina Solar to answer some questions about TrinaPro and how it’s the future of solar technology for enterprises going green.

As the world’s leading provider of smart solar solutions, Trina Solar continues to deliver PV products, applications and services to promote global sustainable development. Through constant innovation, we continue to push the PV industry forward by creating greater grid parity of PV power and popularizing renewable energy.

Trina Solar has recently announced its acquisition of the world’s leading solar tracker manufacturer, Nclave Renewable S.L. This is an important move for the PV industry in which enterprises tend to emerge through new factories and investments, leaving an insignificant role for acquisitions. As a large module-based PV company, Trina Solar’s decision to acquire a tracker company with a recognized scale and excellent technological R&D should be regarded as an important step in the strategic expansion of the enterprise.
