CHANGZHOU, China, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Trina Solar Co., Ltd., a leading global PV and smart energy total solution

provider, announced the global launch of TrinaPro Mega, an ultra-high power

smart PV solution featuring modules with power output exceeding 500W. With

further improvement in product selection and integrated design, the solution

enhances the overall system performance and reduces the levelized cost of

energy (LCOE). Following the debut of the Vertex ultra-high-power new 500W-plus

module in February, TrinaPro Mega marks yet another benchmark for the era of

the 500W power output, as it delivers an optimized solution for the application

of Vertex module in downstream systems.

In 2018, Trina Solar unveiled the smart PV solution "TrinaPro" for large-scale

power stations. Based on system design and software algorithms, the solution

integrates bifacial and high-efficiency PV modules, smart tracking systems and

reliable inverters. It features integrated services and a smart O&M management

platform, lowering the balance-of-system (BOS) cost by up to 15% and increasing

power generation by up to 8%.

With solar energy fast approaching grid parity, TrinaPro Mega, in its role as

an improved ultra-high-power smart solution, resolves several application

challenges faced by existing systems. Based on the "TrinaPro" solution,

TrinaPro Mega upgrades the long-string trackers for 500W-plus power modules.

Furthermore it integrates Vertex modules, Trina Solar's independently developed

TCU, smart tracking algorithms and SCADA monitoring systems. For a variety of

application scenarios defined by complicated geography, uneven terrain and wind

speeds, TrinaPro Mega provides clients with customized solutions to ensure

system reliability and efficiency. To date, DNV.GL has completed the

bankability certification for the TrinaPro Mega smart solution.

Yin Rongfang, vice general manager and vice president of Trina Solar, said:

"The PV industry has embraced the 500W-plus power since the beginning of the

year. As an industry pioneer, the Vertex module demonstrates Trina Solar's

strong ability at innovation and provides the industry with an entirely new

technical platform. Moreover, Vertex facilitates the commercialization of new

technologies and paves the way for the next module power upgrade to 600W.

"Based on the Vertex module, we launched TrinaPro Mega in a move to increase

value for our clients via smart upgrades to more advanced system solutions. By

enhancing ultra-high power module performance and lowering the LCOE, TrinaPro

Mega brings stable investment returns", Yin Rongfang added.
