Having launched its fast-track module mounting system in Europe and the US last year, Trina Solar has said that the first European project to use the innovative system was recently completed in Cumbria, UK.

Ben Hill, President Europe at Trina Solar said: “We are very pleased to announce the completion of the first Trinamount project in Europe. This innovative mounting solution is easy to handle, uses less parts and eliminates the need for traditional mounting rails. Mounting our high performance modules with the innovative Trinamount solution saves time and reduces overall system costs.”

Martin Cotterell, founder and technical director at Sundog, added: “I personally led the installation team on site from start to finish. We had a race against time and a fight against bad weather conditions. We still managed to meet the tight deadline thanks to Trina Solar‟s new mounting system.”

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
