- Trina solar unveils a new PV module for residential and commercial operations.
- It launched its project in Australia.
- The new design features include a double glass structure.
China’s Trina Solar has unveiled a new addition to its Vertex solar module range. Its new Vertex S+ panels have a power output of up to 425W, with a maximum efficiency rating of 21.9%.
The new product, which uses 210 mm wafers and features a double-glass design in place of the conventional glass-and-back sheet structure, has been specifically designed for residential installations and commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop arrays.
According to a statement by Trina Solar Asia Pacific President Todd Li, the double-glass panel has been designed to resist performance degradation and delivered greater efficiency and durability, particularly in hot and humid environments. “The Vertex S+ module we are launching today is ideally suited to Australia,” he said. “It is the first 425W module in Australia that comes with double-glass, rather than a back sheet. Double-glass is more durable, allowing the module to perform even in very hot or very hot and humid environments.”
Trina said the panel combines innovative technologies such as N-type PACO Cell technology, 210 mm diameter wafers, multi-busbar (MBB), non-destructive cutting and high-density packing. Li said the installer-friendly Vertex S+ weighs 21.5 kg, making it ideal for Australian rooftops.
