The push for renewable energy integration is not new (in fact, Trina has been at the helm of this push for 25 years!). However, the recent achievements toward reaching grid parity are indeed game changers, putting renewable energy as a direct competitor to the traditional electricity grid for the first time. This milestone resulted from …

Foresight and Innovation Prime Trinasolar to Meet Growing Module Demand
From residential solar installers to C&I solar project developers to utility-scale EPCs to just about every other solar market stakeholder, the demand for high-quality PV modules will only continue climbing from every angle. It’s no secret that increasingly intense natural conditions are stoking this demand, with more individuals and companies understanding the urgency to decarbonize …
Trina Unveils the Solar Megawatt Box: An All-in-One, Easy-to-Assemble 5MW Solar+Tracker Solution
The renewable energy sector continues to experience healthy growth. Solar opportunities, in particular, should only increase with the Inflation Reduction Act cementing tax credit incentives until 2030. As solar adoption plans for community solar, C&I solar, and utility-scale solar rev up, Trina Solar is excited to announce a new solution to facilitate this demand. Introducing …
The Life Cycle of a Sustainable Solar Panel and the Importance of LCA Certification
Sustainable manufacturing, shipping, and deployment of solar panels play a vital role in the global transition to a zero-carbon economy. One often-overlooked aspect of this decarbonization transition involves ensuring sustainability for the entire life cycle of solar panels. Solar panels typically have a 25 to 30-year lifespan, although some panels remain productive after this warranty …
23 PV Manufacturers Adopt 600W+ as Capacity of 210mm Wafers, Cells, and Modules Reaches 80%
A TrendForce EnergyTrend report for the second quarter states that 56 solar cell manufacturers, accounting for about 80% of all solar cell makers, can now produce 210mm solar cells. Amid the brisk growth of 210mm products, this capacity surge represents year-on-year growth of 51%. Twenty-three module makers have now adopted 600W+ technology. Large and ultra-high …
Global Experts Recognize Trinasolar’s Bifacial 600W+ Modules for Value, High Reliability, and Remarkable Energy Gain Performance
Efficient and reliable ultra-high power bifacial dual-glass modules significantly boost energy yields and create more value for end customers. At a recent virtual conference titled “Bifacial & Solar Trackers – Boosting Solar Power Plant Yields,” industry experts discussed the empirical data from multiple field tests in different environments showing higher energy produced by Trina Solar’s …
3 Cost Considerations for Utility-Scale Solar Developers
With the Biden administration’s recent pause on the tariffs disrupting the solar industry, it’s time to get back to work. To assist in these efforts, we’ve compiled a list of the top three new considerations for utility-scale solar project developers and EPCs looking to hit the ground running and deliver the most value possible. 1. …
As Obstacles Rock the Utility-Scale Solar Sector, Now’s the Time to Plan
The solar coaster ride continues. Supply chain disruptions, grid interconnection delays, and the possibility of new tariffs on PV panels imported from Southeast Asia are wreaking havoc on long-laid plans and deals throughout the industry. Although the solar industry currently faces its share of challenges, the long-term future still looks sunny for utility-scale solar power. …
How EPCs and Developers Can Help Local Governments Unlock the Environmental and Economic Benefits of Solar
Local governments stand at the forefront of decarbonization and renewable energy adoption. Due to their high electricity costs and access to both rooftops and open space, municipalities, counties, and other local governments can make ideal customers for solar projects. As of Jan 2022, more than 180 U.S. communities have committed to 100 percent renewable electricity, …
As Land-Use Limitations Make Utility-Scale Solar Siting More Complex, TrinaPro Has The Solution
Without the right tools and technology in place, siting locations for new utility-scale solar projects may become increasingly difficult as renewable energy installations continue to grow as forecast. In an ideal situation, PV power plant developers can identify a large expanse of flat, open land with access to transmission lines and no environmental concerns or …
