CHANGZHOU, China, March 20, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-The firm leads the global photovoltaic industry into the solar 5.0 era-

On March 18, 2020, Trina Solar Co., Ltd ("Trina Solar" or the "Company"), a

global leading provider of integrated PV modules and smart energy solutions,

announced the pilot line for the mass production of the 500W+ Duomax V and

Tallmax V ("V series") modules. The event marks another milestone achieved by

the company this year after the global launch of the V series on February 27.

The 500W+ V series modules, with a conversion efficiency reaching 21%, boast a

power output exceeding over 500W. Incorporating 210mm cells, the 500W+ V series

modules come in two versions - the Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules and

Tallmax V back sheet modules and can be seamlessly connected to existing

mainstream photovoltaic system designs, including tracking solutions. Based on

Trina Solar's superior multi-busbar technology, the modules incorporate an

innovative design that integrates advanced three-piece, non-destructive cutting

and high-density packaging technologies, eliminating the potential risks

associated with ultra-high power modules: voltage, current and thermal overload

as well as micro cracks. To address the new challenges, Initiated by Trina

Solar, the company and its partners jointly developed several industry firsts:

a high-speed non-destructive cutting technology, uniform welding for

multi-busbar solar modules made of 210mm cells, a new methodology for automated

layout of solar panels as well as laminated welding equipment capable of

handling mass production. These firsts, when integrated into the production

process, help to achieve steady production.

Trina Solar vice general manager and executive vice president Yin Rongfang

said, "the 500W+ V series modules are the result of many technological

improvements to the manufacturing process undertaken over the last 20+ years

combined with our accumulated experience in many aspects of the end-to-end

process, including product integration and downstream systems. We are

encouraged by the fact that the products have received wide attention and

recognition from our industry colleagues, customers and media since their

launch. The 500W+ V series modules not only bring us to a new breakthrough

point for customer value maximization, but also inject a new driving force for

value growth into the whole photovoltaic industry chain. The successful pilot

line for the mass production of the 500W+ V series modules has laid a solid

foundation for the capacity expansion to 5.5 GW this year, leading the global

photovoltaic industry into the solar 5.0 era and a win-win market for

ultra-high power modules."

The Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules has passed the TUV Rheinland

photovoltaic module IEC test and been granted the IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 PV

module performance standards certificates. Trina Solar's 500W+ V series modules

are one of the first ultra-high power modules to be certified by authoritative

testing institutions.
