Trina Solar Vertex N 720W module achieved ultra-low degradation of 1.6% in UV300 ultraviolet irradiation test
……
The Vertex N 720W module from Trina Solar Co., Ltd. (SH:688599) (“Trina Solar” or “the Company”), a world leader in innovation in the field of solar energy, has received third-party certification and In the 300kWh/m² surface ultraviolet irradiation (UV300) test conducted by the China General Certification Center (hereinafter referred to as CGC), which is a testing institute that develops standards, certifies, tests, inspects, and evaluates, it achieved the highest level in the industry. We succeeded in keeping the level deterioration rate to 1.6%. This once again proves the high reliability of Trina Solar products.

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) UV certification (UV15) evaluates how well electrical and electronic equipment can withstand ultraviolet rays, and the UV300 ultraviolet irradiation test conducted by CGC this time is based on this basic UV certification. It is carried out at approximately 20 times the radiation dose required for certification (UV15) and is estimated by the authoritative body to be equivalent to four years of UV exposure in an outdoor environment.
More and more companies are conducting rigorous UVID (ultraviolet irradiation) tests on solar modules, as it is very important how reliable the performance of solar modules is in the actual usage environment. .
UVID (ultraviolet irradiation) test is a test to check how durable solar panels are when exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long period of time. If solar panels are exposed to UV rays for a long period of time, the material may change and deteriorate. In this test, solar panels are artificially exposed to strong ultraviolet light and the subsequent deterioration is observed. This allows you to predict how long your solar panels will last or how they will deteriorate. In the evaluated Trina Solar modules, there were no visible defects in the cells shown in the EL (electroluminescence) image*1, and it was confirmed that there were no abnormalities in the performance of each module cell even after the UV300 ultraviolet irradiation test. can. Furthermore, after each UV test cycle, the module was subjected to insulation and leakage tests, and both tests passed, demonstrating the outstanding UV resistance performance of Trina Solar Vertex N modules. *1 An image taken to visualize the distribution and intensity of light using a material that emits light when voltage is applied to detect defects and perform quality control.

RETC, a leading third-party evaluation organization for solar power generation and renewable energy products, included UVID (ultraviolet irradiation) in its Thresher test for the first time in this year’s PVMI (PV Module Index)*2 report. In order to evaluate the durability of solar modules, the UVID (ultraviolet irradiation) category requires that the solar module sample withstand UV220 UV irradiation and that the maximum output decreases by less than 2%. . This time, Trina Solar’s Vertex N 625W module successfully limited the degradation after UVID (ultraviolet irradiation) tests to 1.53% on the front side and 0.94% on the back side. As a result, the product was one of only two modules to meet RETC’s high UVID (ultraviolet irradiation) performance criteria.
*2 Annual report that evaluates the performance of the solar cell module manufacturing industry and evaluates module reliability, performance, and quality.
RETC Chief Executive and President Sherif Kedir commented in June that “Trina Solar has the lowest degradation rate of any manufacturer we evaluated this year, and their products are surprisingly well made.” . The Vertex N series, which is equipped with 210R/210 square cells + N type i-TOPCon cells, received high praise for both large and medium-sized products, further strengthening Trina Solar’s position as a reliable market leader. This result further proves its excellent reliability.
Cao Yunduan, Head of Global Branding and Marketing at Trina Solar, said, “Trina Solar is committed to implementing strict quality control during the research and development stage to maximize customer value. “The reliability of our products is reflected not only in our technical excellence, but also in our commitment to customer experience and social responsibility.”
Trina Solar will continue to utilize cutting-edge technology to create outstanding products and realize a net-zero world.
