CHANGZHOU, China, Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Trina Solar Co., Ltd ("Trina Solar" or the "Company"), a global leading

provider of integrated PV modules and smart energy solutions, has formally

unveiled its latest Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules and Tallmax V back

sheet. Based on the 210mm large-size silicon wafer and monocrystalline PERC

cell, the new modules come replete with several innovative design features

allowing high power output of more than 500Wp and efficiency up to 21%,

consolidating the Company's leadership and embracing a new era of PV 5.0.

According to preliminary estimates from large-scale ground mounted power

stations in China's Heilongjiang province, compared with conventional 410W

bifacial double-glass modules, the 500W Duomax V can reduce the

balance-of-system (BOS) cost by 6 to 8 per cent and the levelized cost of

energy (LCOE) by 3 to 4 per cent. Trina Solar will formally start accepting

orders in the second quarter of 2020 and is set to achieve mass production in

the third quarter, with production capacity expected to exceed 5GW by the end

of the year.

Based on its superior multi-busbar technology, Trina Solar's research and

development team has introduced an innovative design that integrates advanced

three-piece, non-destructive cutting and high-density packaging technologies.

This further reduces the resistance loss and significantly improves the

anti-cracking, anti-hot spot performance of the modules while maximizing space

utilization. By doing so, the scientists created high-power modules

characterized by high efficiency and high reliability. If the traditional

half-cut cell design were applied to 210mm ultra-large silicon wafers, the high

current output characteristics of the modules could trigger system challenges,

or cause the module to crack or run afoul of DC terminal limits.

In addition, the unique design of the new modules can ensure that the output

current, open circuit voltage and mechanical load of the modules comply with

relevant downstream technical safety specifications and can seamlessly connect

with the existing mainstream PV system design. At the launch event, Trina Solar

signed strategic cooperation agreements with POWERCHINA Jiangxi Electric Power

Construction, China Energy Engineering Investment's Heilongjiang branch,

Shouguang Power Investment Haobang New Energy, SEPCOIII Electric Power

Construction and other power generation-related firms, paving the way for the

full deployment of ultra-high-power modules in the terminal market.

Trina Solar vice general manager and executive vice president Yin Rongfang

said, "Trina Solar has accumulated decades of experience in module design and

manufacturing. We hope to drive the standardization of modules through our

design and manufacturing advantages, which will not only benefit many segments

in the industrial chain, but also enhances the design commonality of modules on

the system side." Yin added, "In addition to the product itself, a good module

requires consideration of its matching capability with existing systems. Thanks

to Trina Solar's experience in tracking systems, integrated solution and ground

power station projects, we explored and solved the potential challenges that

could arise in the practical application of the system early in the research

and development stage, and fully tapped the potential of the product. I believe

our new modules will bring the photovoltaic market to the next stage."
