Trina Solar is offering a three-pronged service solution featuring complimentary design services, newly available high performance Honey modules and the rapid install Trinamount racking system specifically for the installers, developers and other customers requiring large rooftop PV installations in the North American market.
Problem
Compared to industry standard 230W modules, Trina Solar claims that a typical flat rooftop system using comparably sized 260Wp Honey modules could produce over 18% more electricity per year from the same roof area. By combining high performing Honey modules with the fast mounting Trinamount system, customers can install Trinamount Honey systems up to 4.5 times faster, while shaving installation costs by up to 10%.
Solution
Installers, developers and other customers using Trina Solar modules can benefit from a complimentary design service that delivers preliminary system layouts and performance estimates for large rooftop installations. Upon submitting a short site survey form, Trina Solar will craft custom-tailored PV installation plans. Trina Solar is also offering its high performance 60-cell, up to 260W Honey module series for North America. The new Honey cell is produced using cutting edge process tools supplied by North American vendors.
Applications
Large rooftop PV installations.
Platform
Laboratory tests, confirmed by TUV Rheinland in September 2011, demonstrated that a 60W Honey cell module set a world record for multicrystalline module power by reaching a 274W peak. In June 2011, Trina Solar broke ground with an industry-leading 25-year linear power warranty, a 10-year product warranty and a guaranteed positive power tolerance of 0/+3%.
