As Australia’s clean energy sector continues to evolve, industry leaders are gearing up for the country’s premier sustainable energy event, the All Energy Australia 2024.
Set to take place this October in Melbourne, All Energy Australia 2024 promises to be a hub of innovation, knowledge-sharing and networking for professionals across the industry.
Among the notable participants, Trinasolar, a global leader in smart photovoltaic and energy storage solutions, is bringing their latest products for the Australia market.
The high-performance Vertex N 720W (NEG21C.20) offers ultra-low degradation, low voltage and high string power, and is endowed with high energy yield of up to 720 watts (W), high efficiency of 23.2 per cent, high reliability, high performance and low levelised cost of energy (LCOE).
In a recently conducted assessment, the modules were shown to reduce LCOE by 1.79 per cent compared with 182–72 reference modules.
Another cutting-edge bifacial dual glass module for utility and commercial and industrial is the Vertex N 625W (NEG19RC.20), which features an efficiency rate of 23 per cent, leveraging advanced n-type bifacial cell architecture.
The module’s bifacial design allows for up to 30 per cent power gain from the backside, significantly boosting energy yield. Its multi-busbar layout further enhances performance by optimising light trapping and current collection.
Beyond its power generation capabilities, the NEG19RC.20 is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, with a robust mechanical construction rated for high wind and snow loads up to 5400Pa.
Optimised solar solutions for every rooftop
The Vertex S+ series represents a major advancement in rooftop modules for commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Trinasolar is showcasing the Vertex S+ series in two sizes, tailored for larger rooftops and residential use.
The larger Vertex S+ 505W (NEG18R.28) measures 1961x 134mm, with a frame height of 30mm.
Weighing in at 23.5kg, its size and weight is specifically crafted for commercial and industrial spaces. This caters to rooftops, covered walkways, car parks, and under-utilised business spaces, aligning with the industry’s shift toward efficient solar power solutions.
The size and lightness make the panel easy to handle and install and ensures panels are robust enough for larger-scale commercial installation, while being compatible with other BOS components.
Its medium size conceals a powerful punch – a maximum power output of 505W and a high efficiency of 22.7 per cent.
The Vertex S+ Full Black (NEG9RC.25) is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern households, offering a Trinasolar exclusive award-winning aesthetic black design which is compact and slimline, with the potential to increase installation capacity on residential rooftops by 5–7 per cent.
Moreover, it incorporates a bifacial version with light transmission for pleasing aesthetics on specific application scenarios such as carports and alfresco areas, with additional power gain from the back side of the module.
Delivering power outputs of up to 455W and efficiencies as high as 22.5 per cent, the NEG9R.25 is an ideal solution for installations with low-load-capacity rooftops, thanks to its compact size and light weight.
As households transition to higher power generation systеms, the Vertex S+ Full Black panel is perfectly suited for both 6.6-kilowatt (kW) and 8kW set-ups.
The power partners
As a total solutions provide, Trinasolar will also showcase its groundbreaking tracker and energy storage solutions.
Trina Storage has been recognised as a Tier 1 energy storage manufacturer for the second consecutive quarter in 2024 by BloombergNEF (BNEF). This recognition highlights Trina Storage’s dedication to excellence and innovation, supported by its in-house research and development (R&D)capabilities.
The company has launched its in-house proprietary advanced LFP battery cells, including 280 ampere hours (Ah), 306Ah and 314Ah, with improvements in cycle life, safety and energy density, resulting in cost reductions and enhanced performance and solidifying its competitive edge in the energy storage market.
The Trina cells are featured in its latest Elementa 2, an advanced, flexible and high-efficiency energy storage systеm (ESS). With a total capacity of 4.07 megawatt-hours (MWh) housed within a standard 20-foot container, the Elementa 2 offers a balance of capacity and cost-effectiveness in support of utility-scale applications. Its innovative pack design incorporates smart liquid cooling technology, ensuring precise thermal management and optimal performance under diverse operating conditions.
Rounding out Trinasolar’s exhibition is the TrinaTracker Vanguard 1P Smart Tracking Solution, a state-of-the-art solar tracking systеm that combines innovative engineering with intelligent control systеms. The upgraded Vanguard 1P tracker features a revolutionary multi-motor systеm, enabling the construction of longer trackers up to 140m in length. The tracker works seamlessly with Trinasolar’s utility level NEG21C.20 module.
This systеm’s exceptional stability, faster dynamic response, and higher wind tolerance ensure optimal performance even in challenging conditions. Complemented by TrinaTracker’s Smart Control Systеm with intelligent controllers, cloud monitoring and advanced algorithms, this solution boosts reliability, efficiency, and data-driven optimisation. Trinasolar offers modules, trackers and BESS solutions that work with each other hand-in-glove, while also being highly compatible with other companies’ products.
Trinasolar’s expert team will be on hand at All Energy to discuss how its technologies can power projects to new heights.
