Powering the Future: Trina Solar’s Trailblazing Innovations in Solar Energy Solutions – SolarQuarter
Established since 1997, Trina Solar is one of the leading solar PV manufacturers in the world. The company has a strong global presence with an extensive network of offices and manufacturing facilities globally across 160 countries and regions with 40,000 employees across the world. With regional headquarters in Zurich, USA Silicon Valley, Miami, Singapore, Dubai, as well as manufacturing bases in America, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and UAE, and international high-level management and R&D talents from more than sixty countries and regions, our international footprint has enabled us to service our valuable customers and establish a robust supply chain. Trina Solar has been in India for around 14 years and is one of the top brands in the market.
Trina Solar is committed to leading the way in smart solar energy solutions and facilitating the transformation of new power systems for a net-zero future. Its unique position as a total solution provider for smart PV technology sets it apart in the industry. Beyond offering modules, Trina Solar’s comprehensive solutions include trackers and storage solutions. This positions the company not only as a product supplier but as an indispensable partner for most EPCs and developers. Trina Solar’s expansion into these vertical industries broadens the company’s reach, allowing us to diversify beyond traditional solar offerings, for example in the storage of green hydrogen, ammonia, and RTC power.
TrinaStorage, established in 2015 and a leader in energy storage products and solutions, was ranked among the top 5 storage providers and integrators by BloombergNEF (BNEF). It was also included in the esteemed BNEF Energy Storage Tier 1 List for the first quarter of 2024. This recognition emphasizes TrinaStorage’s exceptional record in delivering smart energy solutions to diverse projects worldwide.One of its latest products is the Elementa 2 designed for utility-scale projects. It features Trina’s own 306Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell which has an expected lifetime of 12,000 cycles, and a highly integrated design that reduces footprint, intelligent management of its liquid cooling system and rack-level battery management. Backed by a significant in-house battery cell manufacturing capacity, TrinaStorage provides independent power producers (IPPs) with containerized storage solutions, positioning it as an indispensable partner for EPCs and developers. Elementa 2 packs up to 4.07MWh of storage capacity into a standard 20ft container. This is a prime example of how advances in technology are enabling energy storage systems to be much more cost-effective and efficient.
TrinaTracker is a leading smart tracker solution provider. It specializes in solar tracker development, manufacture, engineering design, installation and maintenance. With 20 years’ experience in tracker business, it is the only brand with R&D and engineering centers in both Europe and Asia for module and trackers. Till end of 2023, TrinaTracker has delivered 20GW+ trackers globally, by more than 700 projects across 60+ countries.
TrinaTracker has launched the enhanced version of its Vanguard 1P Smart Tracking Solution. The improved Vanguard 1Pmodel boasts a cutting-edge multi-motor system equipped with a slewing drive and a bi-damper system. Its innovative design facilitates the construction of longer trackers, up to 140 meters, while minimizing oscillation time, averting instabilities, improving dynamic response and raising the critical wind speed threshold. The multi-motor feature guarantees precise tracking under the most challenging conditions.
Compared with the standard 1P Tracker system, the upgraded Vanguard 1P greatly increases installation efficiency. The introduction of shrink tube technology has effectively halved the time needed for tube connections. Furthermore, the integration of a patented spherical bearing greatly enhances terrain adaptability, making it much easier to assemble the tracker and reducing the extra forces caused by misalignment.
Leading the industry into the 700W+ era
In terms of modules, Trina Solar has consistently been at the forefront of technology and innovation. For example, the solar technologies that are incorporated into Trina Solar’s Vertex series are the most advanced in the market. The Vertex N range’s higher power output is through the n-type iTOPCon Advanced cell technology includes the use of multi-busbar (MBB) for greater light absorption, high-density packing to maximise the surface area and ultra-smooth cell edges. Dual glass bi-facial modules, can generate more power, have increased toughness and dependability that provides extended power and greater durability. These technologies have been developed and tested for different climate and geography. Overall, this results in improved power output and efficiency within a low voltage design, resulting in lower balance of system (BOS) costs and lower LCOE. Currently, the company’s most powerful module in the series (Vertex N NEG21C.20) generates 720W.
Trina Solar was also one of the pioneers of 210 technology and championed the standardization of modules in the PV industry that use 210mm size solar cells. The size of the module is also optimized to greatly reduce BOS costs and LCOE. By the end of 2023, more than 190GW of its 210mm modules were shipped, leading the industry in terms of shipments, power output and module dimensions standardization.Overall, Trina Solar is an established, leading global company that produces quality products as evidenced from its strong track records in India and worldwide. Trina Solar aims to be a strong partner in achieving sustainability goals in line with its vision – ‘Solar Energy for All’.
