On March 18, 2020, Trina Solar Co., Ltd ("Trina Solar" or the "Company") announced the pilot line for the mass production of the 500W+ Duomax V and Tallmax V (“V series”) modules. The event marks another milestone achieved by the company this year after the global launch of the V series on February 27.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar Co., Ltd. today announced that its State Key Laboratory (SKL) of PV Science and Technology (PVST) has fabricated a PERC cell with 23.39% efficiency solely using standard manufacturing equipment. To their best of their knowledge, this is the highest efficiency confirmed by an ISO/IEC 17025 certified calibration laboratory for such an industrial cell.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar has formally unveiled its latest Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules and Tallmax V back sheet modules. Based on the 210mm large-size silicon wafer and monocrystalline PERC cell, the new modules come replete with several innovative design features allowing high power output of more than 500Wp and module efficiency up to 21%, consolidating the Company's leadership and embracing a new era of PV 5.0.</p>
<p>
Trina Solar Co., Ltd.'s global PV module shipments passed a new milestone in 2019, topping 10 GW for the year. According to the 2019 module shipment ranking released by PV InfoLink, Trina Solar ranked among the top three and maintained its global leadership in the category.</p>
<p>
Increasing the size of wafers is a trend in the photovoltaic industry. For solar module manufacturers, the benefit of a larger wafer size is it increases the power output, thereby reducing the per-watt production cost.</p>
<p>
For the customer, the benefit of having more power output per module is that fewer modules, less land and less related equipment – brackets, junction boxes, cabling, etc – is required for the desired amount of electricity capacity.</p>
