Trinasolar powers a desert project in northwest China with Vertex N 700W+ modules

September 16, 2025
Recently, a 700 MW PV plant fully powered by Trinasolar’s Vertex N 700W+ modules has been connected to grid. Located in the harsh deserts in Delingha, Qinghai Province, northwestern China, the project underscores the proven reliability and superior performance of Trinasolar products.

Situated in northeast of the Qaidam Basin, Delingha is endowed with rich solar resources, with an impressive 3,554 annual sunshine hours, making it an ideal place for utility-scale PV project. However, this region is challenged by extreme temperature differences, frequent sandstorms, and high ultraviolet intensity. This requires modules that are not only efficient but also extremely reliable. Trinasolar’s Vertex N 700W+ modules were selected for proven performance in various challenging desert environments worldwide, demonstrating high reliability and energy yield. They have undergone stringent reliability tests, including thermal cycling, mechanical stress sequence, and UV exposure tests, ensuring consistent performance under extreme conditions. This project will be approximately 1.482 billion kWh each year, equivalent to reducing CO₂ emissions by around 1.156 million tons annually. “This project exemplifies Trinasolar’s dedication to delivering high-value products and solutions for challenging environments worldwide,” said Vincent Wu, president of China MU at Trinasolar. “From seawater desalination plants in Saudi Arabia to coal-mining subsidence areas and desert scenarios in Western China, our solutions continue to demonstrate their reliability and performance in the most demanding conditions, paving the way for further upgrades in our technologies.” Furthermore, based on i-TOPCon Ultra technology, the Vertex N series modules were upgraded in December, 2024. They can deliver outstanding performance with up to 85% bifaciality and excellent low-irradiance response, resulting in higher overall energy generation efficiency and thus supporting reliable, consistent energy delivery throughout the entire day.
