Trina Solar to supply 1-GW solar modules to Low Carbon

Highlights :

  • Trina Solar will supply PV modules for multiple Low Carbon projects throughout Europe.
  • Vertex N 605W and Vertex 670W+ series are the modules that will be delivered for the first project of Low Carbon.

Solar PV and smart energy solution provider Trina Solar has signed a multi-year framework agreement with renewable energy company Low Carbon Ltd for the supply of at least 1GW of Trina Solar PV modules for multiple Low Carbon projects throughout Europe. The framework agreement spans three years. The module maker said that Vertex N 605W and Vertex 670W+ series are the modules that will be delivered for the first project of Low Carbon.

The official release of Trina Solar held that the framework agreement provides planning security for project pipelines and will help accelerate the contracting process for future orders. Low Carbon has already secured 1GW of production volume covering its near-term project build-out plans with this.

The Technology

For the first project deliveries to the Netherlands and the UK, Low Carbon selected Trina Solar Vertex N 605W modules. Equipped with 210mm n-type i-TOPCon cell technology, Vertex N series reaches a maximum power output of 605W. In addition, this dual-glass solar module increases bifaciality to 80% and delivers higher efficiency, lower degradation, and better energy yield for lower LCOE.

Trina Solar also held that module is highly compatible with trackers, offering more feasibility to utility-scale projects in the most complex of terrains.

As per the module maker, Vertex 670W+ series boasts a bigger power footprint, with a maximum efficiency of 21.6%. Fitted with 210mm cells, the selected modules have a bifacial design and improved performance in lower light areas, making them a versatile option for Low Carbon’s upcoming projects.

Justin Thesiger, Director of Operations & Asset Management at Low Carbon, said, “The agreement marks an important milestone for us as we grow our international renewable energy portfolio. Their high bankability and ability to commit to high up-front delivery volumes made Trina Solar a natural choice.”

Trina Solar says that it has contributed to solar energy projects in Europe and beyond, developing innovative solutions with industry-leading products and infrastructure that fit customer needs.

Last month, the firm also rolled out 210 mm n-type i-TOPCon cells meant to be employed to produce Vertex N modules.
