MP Next, having much experience in the design of systems for both residential and industrial projects, is able to produce systems which successfully integrate the use of renewable sources and the necessary compliance with building regulations. In this project, a retirement home in Muggió, located North of Milan, the aim was to provide a rooftop PV system whilst bearing in mind the complex building and fire safety requirements, these being particularly important in a residential home for elderly people.

The decision to build a large solar farm in Three Legged Cross was heavily influenced by Dorset having more sunshine than most other UK locations. This Grade 4 agricultural land, with a soil base of sand and gravel, was an ideal situation for a solar project. With Good Energy’s proposal to the Council having been approved in October 2013, Trina Solar purchased, completed, and maintained the project and has now sold it. Construction began in December 2013 with connection to the grid taking place in March 2014. Being thoroughly committed to encouraging biodiversity, Trina Solar worked with the farm’s owners and the local community to ensure that the landscape and wildlife habitats were protected during construction and, through Toolbox Talks, ensured that adverse effects to, and offences against protected species were avoided. The project’s 52,000 multicrystalline panels provide enough clean solar electricity to power 4,300 local homes for 25 years. The polycrystalline Honey module performs well in cloudy conditions and delivers an excellent efficiency of 15.9% with a maximum power output of 265W. It exceeds the standard requirements for snow and wind loads and is ideal for all rooftop installations.

Having attracted an investment of nearly 70 million Euros, the Mees project, initiated in late May 2010 and completed in January 2011, involved and provided work for 350 people for nearly a year in the development of these solar power stations. Built on on a 36 ha plot, the site involves the installation of 79,000 Trina Solar TSM-230PC05 modules  representing a power output of 18.2 MW (12 MW and 6.2 MW).

The project is the largest Multi-family Affordable Solar Housing (MASH) project in California and will generate 775,000kWh of electricity annually, enough to power 144 housing units and property common areas. In addition to supplying solar energy to the families living in Park Villa. The system will reduce green house gas emissions by approximately 5,000 tons of CO2 per year – the equivalent of planting 20,000 trees.

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.
