CHANGZHOU, China, Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

On September 16, 2020, Trina Solar Co., Ltd announced that the company's Vertex

600W/550W series ultra-high power modules had passed the comprehensive

reliability test by TUV Rheinland. This is another major breakthrough and

milestone after Trina Solar was granted both the IEC 61215 PV module

performance standard and the IEC 61730 PV module safety standard certificates

in March 2020.

Based on Trina Solar's superior multi-busbar technology, the Vertex series

adopted a low voltage, high string power design and integrated advanced

technology solutions including non-destructive cutting and high-density cell

interconnect technology, significantly enhancing both micro-crack and heat spot

resistance performance while further reducing system costs and the levelized

cost of energy (LCOE). The optimized Vertex series modules have set a new

benchmark for high-power modules used in large-scale ground power stations in

terms of heat spot resistance. Zhang Yingbin, Senior Director of Solar Product

VCG at Trina Solar, said, "The Vertex series modules have created a new product

technology platform. With enhancements in technology, the conversion efficiency

is on track to push past 24%. Combining the optimization in module design as

well as improvements in load capacity and downstream installation, the power

delivered by the Vertex series modules will continue to increase. These

enhancements create huge potential for the iterative development of PV modules,

further driving the continuous decrease in the cost of PV systems and LCOE of

PV power generation while accelerating application of PV as an energy source

worldwide."

Chris Zou, Vice President of Solar Services, TUV Rheinland Greater China, said,

"We are very excited to see that Trina Solar had completed the time to market

process including passing TUV Rheinland's reliability test for 500W+ and 600W+

modules within half a year. The fast track to commercialization and the

reliability certification open a new path for the rapid development of PV

technologies. We congratulate Trina Solar on its outstanding achievements in

leading the growth of the renewable energy industry and appreciate its

innovative spirit."
