The first shipments of the Vertex series modules in the region were to Egypt and Yemen
Trina Solar recently announced that total sales of its ultra-high power modules, the Vertex Series, have reached 1GW worldwide, including nearly 200MW in Europe as well as from three other major regions, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Latin America.
In February of this year, Trina Solar released the Vertex 500W series ultra-high power modules to the world. Within just five months, the power output of the Vertex modules has been upgraded from more than 600W, it was revealed in a press note.
“We are keen to bring technological revolutions in the photovoltaic industry and contribute to the sustainable development of the solar industry in Middle East and Africa. The first shipments of the Vertex series modules in the region were to Egypt and Yemen,” affirmed Antonio Jimenez, Managing Director and Vice President, Trina Solar Middle East & Africa.
Trina Solar’s R&D team uses multi-busbar technology as a base to further improve module efficiency, and to reduce current transmission loss and interconnect bar resistance loss.
The Vertex series modules adopt the design of low voltage and high string power. The module product is highly cost-effective, and the reduction of BoS (Balance-of-System) generates more customer value.
With the increase of module power, the quantity of required modules to produce the same capacity is reduced. As a result, the associated costs (installation and construction costs, tracker construction cost, cable wiring and others) are also reduced thereby reducing the overall BoS and maximizing customer profits, the manufacturer concluded in a press statement.
