Trina Solar has announced that its Vertex modules have been awarded a Carbon Footprint Certificate by TÜV Rheinland. The products certified cover the full range of 210mm P-type modules from Vertex S 410W to Vertex 670W, with industry-leading low carbon emissions ranging from 395kg/kW to 430kg/kW – 30kg/kW to 40kg/kW lower than other comparable products currently on the market.
The certification follows the requirements of ISO 14067 and Life Cycle Assessment methodology, estimating the total carbon emissions of the “cradle to grave” product life cycle, including energy management, life cycle analysis, material application and supply chain management.
In addition to the Carbon Emission Certificate, the 210 Vertex modules have also achieved industry leading low carbon emissions through ISO’s Life Cycle Assessment. Trina is totally committed to the low-carbon concept and practices it in every aspect of product development, production and use.
Senior Vice President Helena Li commented: “Carbon neutrality places new demands on the low carbon development of the PV industry. As a world-leading module supplier, Trina Solar attaches great importance to controlling carbon emissions as well as providing high-performance products.”
