Trina Solar thinks its large, third-cut-cell components lead the way for 600-W photovoltaic panels

• Trina Solar has actually released an innovation white paper on its formerly revealed 500-W bifacial Vertex photovoltaic panels.

According to the white paper, the innovation behind the Vertex holds excellent prospective for understanding 600-W as well as higher power outcomes based upon its item layout as well as production.

Trina Solar is making use of a third-cut solar battery utilizing extra-large 210-mm wafers (the biggest typical wafers in the sector currently are "M6" at 166-mm). The module likewise makes use of 5 columns of 30-third-cut cells gotten in touch with several busbars. The Vertex module is bigger as well as longer than conventional 72-cell components.

To efficiently boost item integrity, the Trina Solar R&D group has actually located numerous services to enhance hot-spot avoidance as well as mechanical lots efficiency. The Vertex has actually efficiently passed a hot-spot sturdiness examination according to IEC 61215 criteria.

" Since the start of this year, the photovoltaic market has actually leapfrogged right into the period of 500-W+ ultra-high power result. By selecting a dimension of 210 mm, Trina Solar has actually secured the wafer dimension over the following couple of years as various other dimension choices encounter updating obstacles and also greater expenses," claimed Franck Zhang, head of item technique as well as worth administration of Trina Solar. "As an introducing ultra-high power item, the Vertex is assisted by consumer worth and also is coming to be the brand-new sector criterion. With the advancement and also enhancement of the commercial chain, specifically in regards to glass supply capacity, including one more column of solar cells to the existing five-column layout, the Vertex power result can be enhanced to 600 W. It will certainly even more drive down solar PV system expenses and also LCOE, speeding up the worldwide application of PV power."
