SOLAR POWER Assessment results in the Spanish project: While compared to the 166mm-bifacial dual-glass-450W module, Trina Solar’s 210 Vertex bifacial dual-glass-545W can save the BOS up to 6.32%, reduc- ing LCOE by about 3.19%. Compared to the 182mm-bifacial dual-glass-535W module, the BOS is down by 1%, with better performance in terms of LCOE. Assessment results in the US project: While compared to the 166mm bifacial dual-glass-450W module, Trina Solar’s 210 Vertex bifacial dual-glass-545W can save the BOS up to 6.06%, reducing the LCOE by about 3.72%. Compared to the 182mm-bifacial dual-glass-535W module, the BOS is down by 1.2%, re- ducing LCOE by about 0.5%. Comparison of estimate costs DNV GL reports: Higher Systematic Value, lowest LCOE with Trina Solar’s Products After the Assessment on Vertex module with single-axis 1 portrait installation (1P) tracker, DNV GL confirms Trina’s value again according to the assessment re- sults of Vertex module with single-axis 2 portrait installation (2P) tracker. First of all, Vertex’s innovative “low voltage, high strings power” design can interconnect more modules with the 1,500V voltage, which can boost the single string power. Secondly, the ultra-high power can re- duce the numbers of modules in the set- up. In turn, it can save the material and labor costs of DC cable work, and thus lowering the initial investment by reduc- ing transportation, manual installation and civil work costs. Last but not least, with superior power generation perfor- mance, Vertex are able to maximize val- ue for customers by ensuring a minimum LCOE. Since establishment from 1997, Trina Solar has been driven by innovative, reli- able quality and customer values. Since the release of the first advanced 210Ver - tex modules in February 2020, the prod- uct line has been enriched with different products including Vertex S 400W, and the Vertex series of 500W, 550W and 600W and beyond, which fit well with the applications of residential, commer- cial and large scale power plant, as well as multiple scenarios of agriculture and fisheries. As planned by Trina Solar, the capacity of PV modules will be no less than 50GW by the end of 2021, and it will continue to strengthen the capacity of advanced modules with large-size cells in the future. 56 energetica INDIA- Jan-Feb_2021
