Trinasolar’s Anti-glare PV Solution Powers Sustainable Upgrade of Shanghai Pudong International Airport
Airport runways and surrounding airspace are subject to stringent safety and reliability requirements for light reflection. At Pudong International Airport, China's busiest hub for both passenger and cargo traffic, it was clearly stipulated from the outset that any PV installation must deliver efficient power generation while complying with rigorous safety, reliability, and anti-glare standards.
As a result, managing module glare at airports is extremely important. Trinasolar's anti-glare modules disrupt the specular reflection of sunlight, turning intense glare into softer, diffused light. Tests indicate that their anti-glare range is more than twice that of conventional modules, and glare intensity drops by 47%, effectively eliminating direct strong light interference. These modules achieve a significant industry breakthrough by maintaining power generation while offering anti-glare performance through the precise combination of anti-glare glass and high-efficiency cells, addressing a key challenge in applying new energy solutions to specialized environments.
In this project, Trinasolar delivered not just products, but a comprehensive anti-glare solution. said Vincent Wu, president of China MU at Trinasolar, “By conducting meticulous simulations and customized designs tailored to the precise angles and sightlines of Pudong International Airport, we delivered a solution that guarantees both exceptional safety and energy performance”. Wu Yanfang, general manager at Shanghai Yijiarun, the project partner, noted that Trinasolar's modules eliminate direct strong light risks and achieve dual compliance of safety and efficiency, giving them an advantage over alternatives that either lack sufficient anti-glare properties or suffer from significant power generation losses. Equipped with Trinasolar’s anti-glare solution, the project is expected to generate 24.58 million kWh annually, save over one million dollars in electricity costs, and reduce 13,200 tons of carbon emissions each year. It will provide a replicable and scalable low-carbon solution for airports and other light-sensitive infrastructure, advancing sustainable energy adoption in complex operational environments.
As a global leader of smart PV and energy storage solutions, Trinasolar, with its mission of "Solar Energy for All", will continue to provide more efficient, valued products and scenario-tailored solutions to customers, contributing to a net-zero future.
