Trina Solar takes a leap ahead with the launch of Vertex 600W PV module
Trina Solar unveils the Vertex 600W series module at the industrial chain summit of the 600W+ Photovoltaic Open Innovations Ecological Alliance in China.
Recently, at the industrial chain summit of the 600W+ Photovoltaic Open Innovations Ecological Alliance in China, Trina Solar has launched the 600W Vertex module.
This was the global launch of the 600W module by the Chinese solar giant. Interestingly, the launch of Trina’s 600W module comes only four months after the company opened orders in Australia for its top 500W PV 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.”
A leap forward
These 600W panels are built on Trina’s 500+W Vertex technology, which was flagged by the company as a step forward for the next major power upgrade, recently. Only this April, the 500W Vertex module was celebrated for its leading performance in the industry giving an output of 515.8 W.
The company started the formal mass production of Vertex’s pilot line on March 18 and made the shipment of the first Vertex order on March 27, this year. And nowhere, Trina took another leap forward.
Now, with its global launch of the 600W module, the Chinese solar giant has challenged the industry and other solar majors, like Longi Solar, Canadian Solar, Risen Energy, JA Solar, and Jinko Solar – who have just stepped up into manufacturing of 500W modules, over the recent months.
Customers Benefit
It is to be noted that since the PERC+ cell conversion efficiency is projected to exceed 24% – thus in conjunction with other factors such as module design optimization, load capacity improvements as well as downstream implementation, the power output of the Vertex modules will continue to increase.
Thus, it will act as a guide for the iterative development of PV modules and will also contribute to a persistent decline in PV systems BOS and LCOE.
