Trina Solar will provide DEG21-660W modules from its Vertex series. These are bifacial modules with passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) technology that have received positive scores in the annual PV Evolution Labs (PVEL) reliability assessment, to the project. The company will also provide its Vanguard 1P trackers to optimise electricity generation at the facility.

“Offering an integrated solution with both modules and trackers is a new business model for Trina Solar in Brazil,” said Alvaro Garcia-Maltras, president of Trina Solar Latin America, commenting on the new approach of providing both modules and trackers.

Chinese solar component manufacturer Sineng Electric has agreed to supply its 250kW string inverters to the project, the second Brazilian project to which it has supplied inverters. The news follows Sungrow’s supply of inverters to Comerc Renew’s PV plant in Brazil, as collaboration between Chinese manufacturers and Brazilian developers becomes more commonplace.

In recent months, Trina Solar has expanded its presence in the Asia-Pacific sector through the signing of a 1GW module supply deal with Australian distributor Solar Juice. This deal included the sale of Vertex modules, as Trina Solar looks improve its profitability amid overcapacity and falling prices across the global sector.
