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.”
Well known UK-based installer and distributor, Sundog took the honours on a 50KWp PV system on a pitched steel roof used as a livestock market building. According to Trina Solar, 212 of its (TSM PC05, 235W) multicrystalline modules were fitted.
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.”
