TrinaPro: The Smart Solution to Solar Supply Chain and Procurement Challenges
The demand for solar energy (and the network of technologies that go with it) has never been higher. While the Inflation Reduction Act certainly gets some credit for this push, utility-scale solar projects have been leading the charge for new installations and expansions. This effort by utility operators to make energy resources more resilient comes …
What’s N-Type Technology and What Does it Mean for Solar?
Innovation in solar technology has always been at the forefront of Trina’s 25-year push toward a more sustainable future, and remaining innovative in this industry requires constant advancement. Better efficiency, greater reliability, and lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) are just a few examples of the continued successes that have been exciting solar developers …
More Than PV Power: A New Era of Grid Parity Requires Smart Solar Solutions
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. …
