A 500MW PV power station project in Gobi, northwestern China, is under construction using Trina Solar’s 210mm Vertex high-power modules, including the Vertex N 610W and the Vertex 670W.
The project has a total installed capacity of 500 MW, and half of the construction work has been completed. Once the plant is connected to the grid, it is forecast to generate 85.5 million GWh, cut the need for 250,000 tons of standard coal, and reduce CO2 emissions by 840,000 tons annually.
The Gobi region is endowed with abundant sunshine, an average of 3,000 to 3,200 hours a year, making it an ideal location for PV power plants. Once the plant is completed, it is expected to deliver significant economic and environmental benefits by upgrading the local energy structure.
210mm Vertex modules, with their high power, efficiency, reliability, energy yield, and low LCOE, have paved the way for lower BOS, making them ideal for utility-scale, commercial and industrial (C&I), and residential PV projects. By the end of November 2023, Trina Solar’s cumulative shipments of 210mm Vertex modules had exceeded 100GW, giving them a world No. 1 ranking for cumulative 210m module shipments.
Trina Solar Vertex modules have been rigorously tested for their reliability by renowned third-party organizations such as RETC, PVEL, CGC, and TÜV Rheinland, and they have gained a reputation in high-altitude areas as well as vast desert regions for their outstanding performance.
In the n-type era, Trina Solar has also upgraded its products. Based on the industry-leading 210mm rectangular (210R) silicon wafer technology and n-type TOPCon advanced technology, the Vertex N 610W module is 2382mm by 1134mm, which adds scope to utility-scale or commercial and industrial solar applications and improves the utilization rate of a 40HC container to 98.5%, reducing logistics and BOS costs for customers. Cao Yunduan, head of branding and marketing at Trina Solar, said: “Trina Solar was the first manufacturer to bring 210R modules to the market and took the lead in advocating standardization of rectangular silicon wafer module dimensions with eight other companies, giving the 210R products a prominent place in the market.”
