trina sun (www.TrinaSolar.com), a leading global provider of PV and smart energy total solutions, announced the launch of their latest innovation, the Vertex S+ 445W+ n-type dual-glass modules at Solar Show Africa 2023 in Johannesburg. The new modules are specifically designed for rooftop PV systems and offer a combination of durability, performance, aesthetics and peace of mind. That makes them an ideal choice for customers who prioritize both performance and appearance. With a 30-year performance warranty, the Vertex S+ Series is a reliable and durable solution for residential and commercial rooftop installations.
The company also showcased their latest innovations, showcasing a range of innovative products and solutions, including the Vertex N 605W+ and 695W+ modules, designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility projects respectively. These modules are part of Trina Solar’s n-type module portfolio, which is built on the 210mm product technology platform and n-type i-TOPCon cell technology, resulting in superior performance and durability.
The Trina Solar team showcased their utility-scale ground-mounted solar solutions at the event. The intelligent and innovative solution consisted of the company’s newly optimized Vanguard 1P, the SuperTrack Smart Tracking Algorithm and the Trina Smart Cloud Monitoring and Control system. Trina Solar manufactures, designs and deploys smart tracking systems that integrate smart tracking and monitoring solutions while providing best-in-class services ranging from project optimization consultancy to installation, commissioning, O&M and after-sales services.
Gonzalo de la Vina, President EMEA, Trina Solar commented: “We are proud to introduce Trina Solar’s latest innovation, the Vertex S+ Series, which will revolutionize rooftop solar systems. Our n-type i-TOPCon module portfolio and the Vertex S+ series represent a significant advancement in solar technology, providing customers with high quality and reliable solutions to meet their specific needs.”
Trina Solar’s new generation of rooftop modules are designed to deliver maximum power from limited space, trouble-free installation and operation for decades. This product line represents a significant advancement for PV arrays installed on both residential and commercial buildings and is expected to generate significant value for installers and system owners. The Vertex S+ series has already entered mass production, further accelerating the adoption of solar energy around the world.
“We are delighted to showcase this groundbreaking product line at Solar Show Africa, the premier gathering of innovative minds from across the continent and around the world,” added de la Vina.
Trina Solar’s participation in the Solar Show Africa underscores the company’s commitment to providing customers around the world with innovative and high-quality solar energy solutions. With their latest product portfolio and continued commitment to research and development, Trina Solar is poised to lead the transition to a net zero future.
More about Vertex S+ Modules:
Satisfies every taste: optimal bifacial and monofacial options under 2 m²
Roofs and individual preferences may vary slightly between application scenarios. That’s why Vertex S+ is available in two specifications. The monofacial NEG9R.28 comes with a white back encapsulation for maximum output power, with power up to 445W+ and an efficiency of 22.3%. The transparent NEG9RC.27, on the other hand, is preferred for high-quality aesthetic applications, for example on roofs of houses where only the grids between the cells would optically disappear. This bifacial module is rated at 435W+ at the front, with an efficiency of 21.8%, with additional power at the back up to 80% of the power at the front. Both types have an area of just under 2 square meters (1’762*1’134*30mm) for ease of use and a black aluminum frame.
A powerful heart: one type of i-TOPCon cells
Like all Trina Solar modules, Vertex S+ is based on the 210mm Vertex technology platform. In addition, the shift to n-type i-TOPCon cells allows the module to generate approximately 10% more energy over 30 years compared to its p-type peers. In addition, n-type cells have a 50% lower initial degradation and an 11% lower annual power attenuation. The combination of both factors – higher power and lower degradation – results in significantly higher power generation for owners over the life of the module and improved reliability.
Trina Solar has expanded its brand new vertically integrated n-type plant to supply n-type i-TOPCon cells for modules of all sizes. The new generation of Vertex S+ is already rolling off the fully automated production lines.
Reliable and durable: double-glazed structure
Vertex S+ is the first roof module on the market with a robust, low-weight, double-glazed structure, where the plastic backing is replaced by a second layer of glass. Double-glazed designs are therefore very reliable and provide perfect protection for decades, making this module structure extremely resistant to salt spray, acids and bases. Glass is a perfect and symmetrical sealant, preventing moisture from entering and minimizing the load on the cells. In addition, double-glazed modules offer the highest possible fire safety. But not only that: the omission of the backsheet also reduces the use of plastics, further improving the module’s carbon footprint and recycling at the end of its life.
Usage and Compatibility: Designed with the installer in mind
Advances in glass processing allowed Trina Solar to use two layers of ultra-thin glass with a thickness of just 1.6mm, resulting in a low weight of 21.1kg, which is comparable to backsheet modules. This means that installers can handle the new Vertex S+ on the roof as they have always done with conventional PV modules.
When it comes to installation, Vertex S+ is highly compatible with other solar system components. It offers a variety of mounting methods including short and long side clamping, cross bar, split rail and slide-in mounting. Its low short-circuit current also makes it compatible with over 99% of mainstream inverters on the market, as verified by a comprehensive compatibility analysis.
Peace of mind for 30 years and beyond
PV systems built with Vertex S+ will still provide solar power to our children and grandchildren as the product comes with a 30-year ultra-long performance warranty. Mechanical integrity is guaranteed for 25 years, instead of the 15-year industry standard. These extended warranties are proof of Trina Solar’s confidence in its double glass technology and long-term performance of n-type cells.
Creating customer value and trust
Vertex S+ will greatly assist installers with a solid value proposition, enabling them to offer customers the best investment in terms of guaranteed and increased solar energy. With an innovative lightweight double-glazed structure, it offers superior performance and safety benefits. Using more glass reduces the use of plastic and increases durability, extending the life and recyclability of the panel.
This product creates added value for both installers and end customers in the field of energy yield, durability and durability, in short, future-proof solar power.
