Vertex 670W modules achieve excellent results in the PVEL reliability test, Trina Solar wins its eighth consecutive "Top Performer"
PR96057
CHANGZHOU, China, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Trina Solar has once again been placed as a "Top Performer" 2022 among global
PV module manufacturers by PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), a world-renowned
third-party reliability testing laboratory, after months of rigorous testing.
This is the eighth recognition in a row, making Trina Solar the solar company
with the most wins. It highlights Trina Solar's commitment to excellent quality
consistency, high reliability and outstanding safety of its modules. Test
results published by PVEL show that the ultra-high power 210mm Vertex modules,
670W in particular, have achieved the best performance in the Product
Qualification Program (PQP) test sequences.
PVEL evaluates PV modules every year with reliability and quality parameters
that are significantly more rigorous than the IEC standard. It also publishes
the PV Module Reliability Scorecards on a yearly basis, providing the solar
industry with independent, consistent reliability and performance benchmarking
data.
The PQP includes test sequences for thermal cycling, damp heat, backsheet
durability, and mechanical stress. The damp heat test duration and thermal
cycles are twice the IEC standard requirement or even more. The new Mechanical
Stress Sequence (MSS) combines tests for static mechanical load, 1,000 cycles
of dynamic mechanical load, 50 thermal cycles and 10 cycles of humidity freeze.
Modules passing the PVEL-PQP tests naturally meet reliability requirements in a
variety of extremely demanding environments.
According to this year's reliability and performance test results of PVEL, the
Vertex modules of Trina Solar, from the Vertex S 410W for residential scenario
to the 600W+ ultra-high-power modules for large ground mounted power plants,
have shown excellent reliability in all rigorous PQP tests.
In particular, the ultra-high-power Vertex 670W modules have achieved top
performance in the PQP sequences for damp heat, thermal cycling,
potential-induced degradation, LeTID sensitivity, and MSS. This means that the
modules have excellent reliability and performance in harsh climate regions
with high temperature, high humidity, and large temperature fluctuations.
Notably, the MSS test results demonstrate almost no micro-cracks occurred in
the BOMs tested for Trina Solar's bifacial 670W modules, and the power
degradation was less than 2%. In summary, Trina Solar's ultra-high power
modules in large format meet the Top Performer criteria defined by PVEL,
maintain top performance and ensure mechanical reliability.
"On behalf of the entire PVEL team, I congratulate Trina Solar for achieving
excellent test results on their 210 mm modules and being named as a PVEL
Scorecard Top Performer for a record-setting eight consecutive years," stated
Tristan Erion-Lorico, VP of Sales and Marketing at PVEL. "Of particular note is
Trina Solar's Vertex 600W+ bifacial modules, which achieved Top Performer
status in all five reliability tests. This is just the latest example of Trina
Solar's ability to manufacturer reliable modules over the past many years."
Helena Li, President of Cell and Module Business, Trina Solar, commented: 'PVEL
is the world's leading PV module reliability testing laboratory, which provides
independent performance data. We are proud to be recognized as a PVEL Top
Performer for the eighth consecutive PV Module Reliability Scorecard. Trina's
consistent and exemplary performance in PVEL's rigorous independent testing are
accepted by the market as clear evidence of our longstanding commitment to
product quality. We believe PVEL's this testing result is of great value to
solar project developers, financiers, and asset owners and operators around the
world.'
