Trina Solar Vertex Solar Panels

By Robert Wheeler

What are Trina Solar Vertex solar panels and why should you consider them?

Trina Solar is a global leader in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, providing smart energy solutions for residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar energy projects. Trina Solar has been innovating and developing new technologies to improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of solar power generation for many years. One of their latest products is the Vertex series of solar panels, which are based on their advanced 210mm product technology platform and N-type i-TOPCon cell technology.

The Vertex series of solar panels consists of three types of modules: Vertex N, Vertex S+, and Vertex S. Each type has its own features and advantages for different scenarios and applications. In this blog post, I will focus on the Vertex N and Vertex S+ modules, which are designed for C&I (commercial and industrial) and utility-scale solar energy projects.

Vertex N: The N-type era has arrived!

The Vertex N modules are the first N-type modules in the solar panel industry that are compatible with 210mm large-size wafers (M12). N-type cells have higher efficiency, lower degradation, and better performance than P-type cells. The Vertex N modules have a power output of up to 700W+ for large utility scenarios and 605W for C&I scenarios. They also have a low temperature coefficient, high bifaciality, and excellent low-light performance.

The Vertex N modules can reduce the BOS (balance of system) costs by maximizing tracker utilization and increasing set power. They can also increase the power generation by up to 0.91% in 25 years compared to conventional solar panel modules. Moreover, they can save the initial investment by over £30,000 per 100MW PV station and reduce the LCOE (levelized cost of energy) by 2.08%. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is the average cost in currency per energy unit, for example, EUR per kilowatt-hour.

The Vertex N modules have passed various stringent tests to ensure their ultra-high quality, reliability and durability. They have undergone the full set of IEC TS63209-1 extended stress tests, including harsh UV tests, with an average power degradation of only 1.2%. They have also endured strict high and low temperature cycle tests, hail sequence tests, high temperature hot spot tests, and other extreme weather condition tests.

The Vertex N modules are expected to lead the solar panel industry into the PV 7.0 era, with a total capacity of 30GW to be released by the end of 2023. They have already been applied in several large scale solar energy projects around the world, such as a large desalination plant in Saudi Arabia.

Vertex S+: The best choice for rooftop Solar PV systems

The Vertex S+ modules are based on N-type i-TOPCon technology with 210mm (M12) advanced platform. They adopt a 1.6*1.6mm ultra-slim dual-glass design, which makes them lightweight and easy to install. The Vertex S+ modules have a power output of up to 450W for rooftop solar PV systems.

The Vertex S+ modules can increase the power density by 30% compared to conventional modules, which means more power generation per unit area. They can also reduce the installation costs by 10% and increase the solar PV system efficiency by 5%.

The Vertex S+ modules have a high conversion efficiency of up to 21.4%, a low temperature coefficient of -0.31%/°C, and a high bifaciality of up to 80%. They also have excellent performance in low irradiance conditions, such as on cloudy or rainy days, which we have a lot of in the UK.

The Vertex S+ modules have a long service life of more than 30 years, with an ultra-low degradation rate of less than 0.5% per year. They have passed various reliability tests, such as PID (potential induced degradation) resistance test, salt mist corrosion test, ammonia corrosion test, fire test, etc.

The Vertex S+ modules are suitable for various rooftop scenarios, such as residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial buildings, public facilities, etc. They can provide clean and reliable energy for different needs and applications.

Conclusion

Trina Solar Vertex solar panels are the new generation of high-efficiency solar panels that can meet the diverse demands of the solar energy market. They are based on the cutting-edge technology of N-type cells and 210mm large-size (M12) wafers, which can deliver higher power output, lower degradation, better performance, and lower costs. They are also reliable and durable under harsh environments and conditions.

If you are looking for a smart energy solution that can provide you with more value and benefits, you should consider Trina Solar Vertex solar panels. They are not only good for your wallet, but also good for the environment and the planet.
