Trina Solar Supplies 800 MW to 2 GW Al Dhafra PV Plant

• This article looks at a firm's growth in solar energy production capacity, plus the successful delivery of 800 MW of 210mm Vertex modules to the 2 GW Al Dhafra PV Power Plant project in Abu Dhabi. Learn about the four key features that unlock a low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

This will take the firm's total production capacity of monocrystalline silicon wafers to 40 GW by the end of 2021. Moreover, the firm has successfully delivered 800 MW of its 210mm Vertex modules to the 2 GW Al Dhafra PV Power Plant project in Abu Dhabi. These modules are characterized by four key features that unlock a low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE): high power, high efficiency, high energy yield, and high reliability. The project’s substantial capacity and contribution to carbon reduction illustrate the powerful impact of solar energy.

What Are Benefits of 800 MW Vertex Modules?

• High Power: The 800 MW of Vertex modules that were delivered to the Al Dhafra PV Power Plant project boast an impressive power output of up to 560 watts.
• High Efficiency: The modules feature a conversion efficiency of up to 19.4%, allowing them to generate high amounts of power from a limited space.
• High Energy Yield: The modules are designed to perform better in low light environments, such as deserts, allowing for greater energy yield over the course of the day.
• High Reliability: The modules are created with anti-PID technology, reducing performance losses due to potential induced degradation (PID) and ensuring optimal performance even in high temperature environments.
• Reduced Carbon Emissions: The installation of the 800 MW Vertex modules has enabled the 2 GW Al Dhafra PV Power Plant project to reduce carbon emissions by up to 2.5 million tons per year.
