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

Trina Solar Co., Ltd ('Trina Solar" or the "Company") has announced the launch

of two next-generation Vertex series modules with power output of up to 600W.

The company expects to realize the mass production of a 550W series in the

final quarter of this year.

Several representatives of upper, middle and lower streams of the industrial

value chain of the 600W+ Photovoltaic Open Innovation Ecological Alliance,

representing manufacturers of silicon, wafers, cells, modules, trackers,

inverters, materials and equipment, took part in a launch event and witnessed

the new next-generation Vertex series modules.

Dr Zhang Yingbin, Head of Product Strategy and Value Management at Trina Solar,

said at the event: "The next-generation Vertex modules enhanced by a host of

forward-looking innovations, including a 210mm silicon wafer, high-density

packaging and multi-busbar technologies, deliver photoelectric conversion

efficiency of more than 21 percent. By virtue of low-voltage and high-module

string power output, the new Vertex series unlocks huge potential for further

reducing balance-of-system costs. By collaborating with key players across the

industry chain, we believe the Vertex modules developed on the basis of a new

technology platform will help reduce the levelized cost of energy across

various applications and maximize customer value."

The next-generation Vertex series modules hold three key advantages, including:

the combination of non-destructive cutting, high-density packaging and

multi-busbar technologies; low voltage and improvement in power output of a

single module string by more than 35 percent; and significant value in greatly

reducing balance-of-system costs.

Cao Bo, vice general manager and executive vice president of Trina Solar, said:

"To create a high-quality module product that excels in the market with

comprehensive functionalities, we needed to take into account each process

across the industry chain, the ultimate goal being to maximize value for

customers by improving the power output of the modules and increasing power

generation. We are honored that the next-generation Vertex series, built on the

basis of a new and forward-looking technology platform, has been recognized by

key partners across the photovoltaic industry chain. As one of the members of

the 600W+ Photovoltaic Open Innovation Ecological Alliance, Trina Solar is

devoted to working with others in the industry to promote the sustainable

development of the sector."
