Firstgreen solar product review-Trina solar panels

Published by firstgreen on

As a global leading provider for PV module and smart energy solution, Trina Solar delivers PV products, applications and services to promote global sustainable development. Through constant innovation, we continue to push the PV industry forward by creating greater grid parity of PV power and popularizing renewable energy. Our mission is to boost global renewable energy development around the world for the benefit of all of humanity.

As of Jun. 2020, Trina Solar has delivered more than 50 GW of solar modules worldwide, ranked “Top 500 private enterprises in China”. In addition, our downstream business includes solar PV project development, financing, design, construction, operations & management and one-stop system integration solutions for customers. At the end of 2017, these solar projects connected approximately 2 GW to the global power grid. In 2018, Trina Solar first launched the Energy IoT brand, and is now aiming to be the global leader of smart energy.

History

Trina Solar was founded in 1997 by Gao Jifan. As a solar pioneer, Trina Solar helped change this solar industry, rapidly growing from one of the first PV enterprises in China to become a world leader in solar technology and manufacture. 

In 2014, Trina Solar realized the milestone of shipping over 1GW in one quarter. They also broke the solar cell efficiency world record 7 times that year. To date, the State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology has broken 20 world records on solar cell efficiency and module power.

The unmatched level of innovation and technological capabilities of Trina Solar have allowed themselves to become global leaders by setting industry benchmarks for both quality and efficiency.

Global Market

Trina Solar maintains some of the strongest financials in the industry.

Trina Solar is ranked as one of the most bankable solar manufacturers, and partnering with us is a sound and reliable long-term investment.

From simple beginnings in China, Trina Solar has expanded globally. We now sell our products in more than 100 countries and have regional headquarters in Singapore, Tokyo, Zurich and San Jose, offices in Madrid, Mexico, Chile, Dubai, Milan, Sydney and manufacturing base in Vietnam and Thailand. Collectively, Trina modules around the world are displacing over 32 million tons of CO2, equivalent to planting 5.8 million acres of trees.

Innovation

Trina continues to advance efficiency boundaries, with both p-type monocrystalline and p-type multicrystalline cell conversion efficiencies reaching a respective 22.61(2016) percent and 21.25 (2015)  percent respectively in the laboratory. Trina Solar State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology of China has set a new world record of 23.22% with n-type i-TOPCon Solar Cell on Cast-mono substrate in Nov. 2019. Through technological innovation, we plan to continue breaking records and driving even higher efficiencies.

Trina was the first company to receive Client Test Data Program (CTDP) certification from UL, allowing us to conduct cutting-edge research reliably on campus.

Quality 

Trina Solar follows strict compliance with national regulations and industry standards, including Chinese National Standards GB 50797 “Photovoltaic Power Station Design Specifications,” GB 50794 “Photovoltaic Power Plant Construction Specifications,” GBT 50866 “Design Code for Photovoltaic Power Station Connection to Power System and GBT 19939 “photovoltaic system Grid technology requirements,” among others. With an innovative solar design team, rigorous procurement procedures and experienced construction and operation team, we have more than 15 years’ worth of hands-on expertise in PV project development.

Trina Solar ensures the highest quality standards for our PV products across the entire supply chain. This mitigates risks and increases return on investment. Because of our dedication to delivering high-quality PV products, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) named Trina Solar as a top bankable module supplier, four times in a row from 2016, is the only module manufacturer to be rated as fully bankable for four consecutive years by 100% of the experts participating in the BNEF survey. This is a high honor and a strong endorsement for our product quality.

 

As part of our commitment to sustainable development and innovation, we will continue to integrate the ideas in our entire manufacturing and operation process. We strive to drive down the cost of photovoltaic (PV) power generation through constant technological innovation, making solar power affordable for everyone while meeting the worldwide demand for clean energy. We look forward to creating a framework for a future-oriented, cleaner, sustainable energy system so as to benefit mankind with solar energy.
