New 635-660 W module collection from Trina

• The most recent products in the Vertex series from the Chinese maker, introduced at the SNEC PV Power Expo in Shanghai, are readily available in 6 versions with reported effectiveness ranging from 20.4-21.2%.

Chinese PV maker Trina Solar introduced an extra powerful Vertex solar modules collection at the SNEC PV Power Expo in Shanghai.

According to the product sheet for the series, the 132-cell panel is offered in six variations offering power results of 635-660 W and also with effectiveness ranging from 20.4-21.2%. The panels step 2,384 × 1,303 x35mm as well as weigh 33.9 kg.

Open up circuit voltage is reported at 44.7-45.7 V as well as maximum power voltage ranges from 36.8-37.8 V, according to Trina. Short circuit current is supposedly 18.30-18.53 ampere with power resistance 0%/ +5%.

The operating ambient temperature ranges from -40 to 85 levels Celsius, according to the item sheet, and also maximum system voltage is 1,500 V. The reported temperature coefficient of Pmax is -0.34%/ degree Celsius.

The module includes a white backsheet, a 35 MW anodized light weight aluminum structure and 3.2 mm of tempered glass with an anti-reflection finish. Its junction box has an IP 68 rating.

Trina revealed a 600 W version of the Vertex panel in mid-July. Structure on the business's 210mm-wafer-based; multi-busbar; high-density-interconnection; 500 W-plus items, Trina claimed the advancement that ramped up the outcome of that version still further was using half-cut as opposed to trisection-cut cells. The string power available for solar tasks can rise to 41% for developers that utilize the Vertex, the producer claimed last month, with the product offering balance-of-system cost savings of RMB0.10/ W ($0.014), thanks to a requirement for fewer wires, structures, racking as well as various other infrastructure. That would drive levelized expense of energy reductions of 2-3%, claimed Trina at the time.
