Trinasolar, a distinguished provider of smart photovoltaic and energy storage systems, has initiated a research partnership with the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR). The goal is to enhance and refine industrial battery production techniques, which will support the transition to sustainable and low-carbon energy sources globally.
This three-year partnership will focus on the collaborative research and development of advanced energy storage battery technologies and the industrialization of energy solutions. Leveraging A*STAR’s strengths in energy, materials, and intelligent manufacturing, both parties aim to address core technical challenges in commercialized energy storage batteries.
A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (A*STAR’s IMRE) will leverage its expertise in material science and engineering to develop innovative energy storage solutions, with a focus on pioneering new materials and enhancing battery performance through advanced research methodologies.
Trinasolar's lab, a top-notch facility for photovoltaics (PV) research in solar and energy storage tech, actively seeks joint research ventures and alliances with other premier tech and scientific institutions to develop innovative solar solutions and products.
Helena Li, Executive President of Trinasolar, expressed her gratitude for the proactive role of the Singapore government in building a platform for new energy and green transition. Li highlighted A*STAR IMRE’s strong capabilities in new materials and electronics and expressed excitement about collaborating with this forward-looking team. The partnership will adopt an open, inclusive, and collaborative innovation mechanism to jointly develop next-generation energy storage battery technologies, continuously enhancing manufacturing technologies in the energy storage industry and contributing to the high-quality development of the global energy storage sector, ultimately building a net-zero future.
“This collaboration combines IMRE’s research strengths with Trinasolar's expertise in energy storage. By working together, we aim to make valuable progress in energy storage technology, apply scientific research to practical applications in Singapore, and contribute to technological and economic growth that benefits everyone," said Professor Xian Jun Loh, Executive Director of A*STAR IMRE.
Innovation has always been Trinasolar’s primary development strategy and core driving force. The company has established four research and development hubs for energy storage: an institute for advanced energy storage technology, an energy storage engineering center, a digital power research institute, and a center for power electronics R&D. Committed to becoming a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, Trinasolar adheres to the mission of "Solar Energy for All." In the future, the company will continue to uphold independent and collaborative innovation, driving the research and application of energy storage technologies, leading the high-quality development of the new energy industry, and contributing to the realization of a net-zero future.
