This ongoing project began in 2008 when Enereco Energy Solutions Srl won the contract to supply a large quantity of photovoltaic modules to form a power saving system along the Italian motorway network by using the rooftop space on car parking shelters at service stations.

The Su Scioffu installation is located in Sardinia in Italy. It is already considered to be one of the largest installations on greenhouse roofs. With an installed capacity of 20 MW, it will also generate 26 gigawatt hours per year (GWh), enough electricity to meet the annual needs of 10,000 homes. As part of this project, 84,399 polycrystalline Trina Solar modules were installed, each with a power output of between 230 and 240 W, on the 100,000 square metres of roofing on the greenhouse.

Sägewerke Christen AG in Luthern (Canton of Lucerne) runs the first energy-self-sufficient and CO2-neutral saw mill in Switzerland. The in-roof PV system of the saw mill’s production and storage halls was developed by SunTechnics Fabrisolar AG from Küsnacht. It has a power of 900 kWp and produces up to 6,000 kWh of solar energy each day. The 6,000 m2 system consists of PC05A Honey multicrystalline solar modules with a power of up to 260 W. It supplies electricity for the operation of the saw mill and for 300 homes – a total of 900,000 kWh each year.

Seeking a way to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint in the UK, Hitachi approached Photon Energy for their expertise and ideas in the use of solar PV on redundant rooftop space. Photon Energy brought in leading manufacturer Trina Solar, with whom they had previously worked extensively. Both companies worked together to complete the …

Global workplace supplies provider Lyreco partnered with UK-based commercial installer EvoEnergy in order to realize its vision of creating a large-scale PV installation. Bearing in mind Lyreco’s commitment to a green energy strategy and the need for a module manufacturer of international renown, EvoEnergy chose Trina Solar as its manufacturing partner.

Located in the Qingnan Community, Qinghu Town, Donghai County, Lianyungang, this new village installation was completed in early 2014 providing Trina enabled power to 129 families in the community. With a total installed capacity of 381KW, a large part of the self-generated power (80%) is used by the village community and the remaining power is transferred to the grid.. This project marked the start of family-distributed photovoltaic power generation in China. It is the first rural community village with photovoltaic power generation on closely-adjoining roofs.

In order to realize the task of replacing the aging façade at its main facility in Örnsköldsvik, and at the same time create a system to save on power costs by using renewable energy sources, BAE Systems Hägglunds partnered with Trina Solar, Selga (part of the Rexel group) and engineering firm Goodtech.

Ukranian company Eco-Optima is focused on the development and application of renewable, eco-friendly energy sources and in June 2015 commissioned this 4 MW project expansion at the Sambir Solar Station 2 in the district of Lviv.

This greenhouse for organic citrus has an integrated monitoring system that remotely controls the photovoltaic plant and the microclimate parameters needed for the crop’s development. Thanks to this, the investment, which is intended to make use of the structure’s roof, has turned out to be very profitable and environmentally friendly.

Glasgow-based Edison Energy, along with Trina Solar, has provided hundreds of social housing tenants not only with cheaper, sustainable power, but also in some cases with external wall insulation and rendering to maximise the benefits.
