Solar PV modules based on 210mm cells produce the best levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and deliver improved balance of system (BOS) costs, according to an evaluation conducted by independent advisory DNV GL.
A consortium of solar module, cell and wafer manufacturers have proposed to standardise 210mm product sizes in a bid to achieve the “best possible scale” for the solar industry.
Trina Solar has looked to allay concerns regarding the operating temperature of 210mm high-power modules by publishing results of a study exploring the issue.
Trina Solar has bolstered its solar wafer supply line with the signing of a 1.2 billion wafer deal with Zhonguan Semiconductor, valued at RMB6.5 billion (US$990 million).
‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member Trina Solar has officially rebranded its single axis tracker business and latest product suite to simplify and reinforce the Trina global brand, after acquiring the remaining 49% stake in Spanish tracking solution provider, Nclave earlier this year.
