Smart PV and energy storage solutions provider Trina Solar has announced that the first Vertex S+ 505W (NEG18R.28) has entered mass production at its factory in Changzhou, Jiangsu province,
It is part of the Vertex S+ series, and designed for commercial and industrial rooftops.
It is also tailored to meet a customer core requirement of shorter payback time, guided by higher power and lower BOS and LCOE.
Further, it combines n-type i-TOPCon technology with 210mm rectangular silicon wafer (210R) cell technology.
This dual-glass module will yield up to 505W power and deliver high efficiency of 22.7%, contributing to a longer lifespan, less light-induced degradation and higher conversion efficiency with p-type modules.
The product offers dimensions of 1961mm by 1134mm and a slim width of 30mm, and the 1.6 + 1.6mm dual-glass module weighs 23.5kg.
Its short circuit current of 15.86A, also means that it’s highly compatible with most mainstream inverters, optimisers and mounting systems on the market.
The 1.6+1.6mm dual-glass design provides increased scratch, crack and impact resistance and resistance to salt spray, acids, alkalis, high temperature and humidity, passing 35mm hail tests and meeting IEC fire ratings (Class A+C).
Trina Solar’s Vertex S+ series modules have been recognised in the non-utility market by industry partners and customers.
The mass production of Vertex S+ 505W will guarantee subsequent full delivery to Europe, Australia, the Asia-Pacific and other regions, it was shared.
