CHANGZHOU, China, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Trina Solar, the leading global PV and smart energy total solutions provider,

has announced that its 210x210mm i-TOPCon cell has achieved maximum efficiency

of 25.5%, setting a world record for the 23rd time.

The result was certified by the National Institute of Metrology of China, the

preeminent metrology scientific research center and national legal metrology

technical institution.

At the company's State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology, Trina Solar

researchers solved technical problems related to selective boron emitter,

large-area tunneling silicon oxide and doped polysilicon preparation, and

high-efficiency hydrogen passivation. By using mass production cell equipment,

they brought the maximum efficiency of large 210mm N-type monocrystalline cells

to 25.5%. This new efficiency, the result of the company's continuing

innovation and research efforts, demonstrates once again Trina Solar's prowess

in cell 210x210mm i-TOPCon cell technology.

"We are extremely proud of these latest achievements," said Dr Chen Yifeng,

head of the company's high efficiency cell and module R&D center, "Trina Solar

is thoroughly committed to cutting-edge research and development and has been a

pioneer in technological production and manufacturing, helping it to maintain

its leading position with its efficient products."

The achievements have been vital as the company has pressed on with its 210mm

N-type i-TOPCon high efficiency cell project, and paves the way for follow-up

development in the high-end market.

Trina Solar's achievements have been widely welcomed in the industry, including

by authorities and renowned institutions. In February Trina Solar was named by

Reuters Events as one of the top 100 innovators in Global Energy Transition

2022. The company was the only listed company in China in the list and among

only a few others in the Asia and Pacific region to figure on it.

Over the years Trina Solar has applied for 2,200 patents, making it an industry

leader in this respect. It has played a key role in 107 industry standards and

published 96 standards, making a tremendous contribution to advances in the

photovoltaic technology.
