In 2025, Trina Storage reinforced its position as a global leader in smart energy storage by accelerating innovation, earning top-tier industry recognitions, and delivering solutions that met the evolving needs of power systems worldwide. From unveiling advanced battery technologies like the Elementa 2 Pro Platform to scaling global deployments with trusted partners, the year marked significant progress toward a safer, smarter, and more resilient energy future.

Leading with Innovation and Engineering Excellence

Trina Storage began the year in full swing and maintained that pace throughout. The company detailed its advanced battery cell technology in an informative white paper offering insights into how vertical integration delivers greater system value, safety, and lifecycle performance for energy storage customers worldwide.

A Banner Year for Energy Storage Safety and Certifications

Throughout 2025, Trina Storage’s safety-first approach earned repeated recognition across international markets. The company achieved the industry’s first IEC 61508 Functional Safety Certification for utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), further cementing its leadership in compliance and system integrity. This certification confirms that Trina Storage’s systems meet rigorous international standards for risk reduction, failure prevention, and operational integrity, helping safeguard people, property, and the grid during critical events.

The Elementa 2 Pro Platform continued to make headlines, receiving UL 1973, IEC 62619, UN38.3, UL 9540A, and other major global certifications. Together, these certifications demonstrate that the Elementa 2 Pro Platform meets the highest international safety and transportability standards across its battery cells, modules, and overall system. It also became the first energy storage system in the world to earn a 20-year Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), a landmark sustainability milestone. By analyzing the product’s environmental impact across its entire lifecycle, from raw materials and manufacturing to use and end-of-life, the platform proves Trina Storage’s commitment to transparency, eco-design, and long-term environmental responsibility.

Consistent Tier 1 Energy Storage Recognition and Bankability

Trina Storage ended Q1 with a fifth consecutive ranking in BloombergNEF (BNEF) Energy Storage Tier 1. As the year continued, so did Trina Storage’s Tier 1 streak. Q2 led to their sixth consecutive appearance, with Q3 showcasing their seventh. Trina Storage’s reputation for trust and technical strength was further validated with an unprecedented eight consecutive appearances in the BloombergNEF (BNEF) Energy Storage Tier 1 ranking. This distinction underscores Trina’s bankability, scale, and successful execution across global markets.

Beyond BNEF, Trina Storage was also recognized in S&P Global Energy’s 2025 Energy Storage System Integrator Report ranking, securing positions at both the global level and across multiple key regional markets. This further reflects the company’s growing international footprint, project delivery track record, and increasing acceptance among leading developers and financiers worldwide.

In 2025, Trina Storage also retained its top position in the BNEF Bankability Survey, reinforcing confidence among investors, developers, and EPC’s seeking long-term project viability and performance.

Strategic Trina Storage Deployments and Industry Partnerships

This year, Trina Storage deepened relationships with key partners and expanded its footprint across North America. Notably, the company announced a 1 GWh deployment partnership with Lightshift Energy, building a strong track record of project execution under high-demand conditions.

Additionally, Trina Storage partnered with FlexGen on projects in California, bringing together best-in-class hardware and software to deliver reliable storage infrastructure that addresses load growth, renewables integration, and peak management.

Delivering the Future of Flexible Energy Infrastructure

With rising global demand for energy storage solutions that are efficient, flexible, and resilient, Trina Storage focused heavily on evolving its capabilities beyond standalone batteries. Earlier this year, Trina explored how to retrofit AI data centers with integrated solar-plus-storage, demonstrating foresight into emerging use cases.

Trina Storage also highlighted strategies for maximizing demand response value in utility-scale solar + storage projects, showcasing the critical role of hybrid solutions in grid modernization.

Looking Ahead

As Trina Storage exits 2025 with a stronger global footprint, industry-first safety credentials, and a next-generation product portfolio, it enters 2026 well-positioned to continue shaping the future of energy storage. Whether stabilizing volatile grids, supporting decarbonization, or enabling flexible power delivery, Trina Storage continues to push boundaries safely, efficiently, and at scale.
