Solar cell development

First of a new type of solar cells roll off Trina’s production line

The cells produced in the Qinghai factory incorporate n-type i-TOPCon Advanced technology released by Trina Solar in May. With the innovations of selected boron emitter and highly doped TOPCon structure with PECVD, cell efficiency could reach up to 26 per cent.

The n-type i-TOPCon Advanced technology and the integration of ingot, wafer, cell and module production strengthens Trina Solar’s integrated n-type layout. By the end of the year Trina Solar's cell production capacity is expected to reach 75 gigawatts, including 40 gigawatts of n-type cells, all of which are equipped with n-type i-TOPCon Advanced technology.

Net-zero practices high priority

The Vertex N 700W series modules, equipped with 210mm n-type i-TOPCon cells, feature high power, high efficiency, high energy yield, high reliability and low LCOE, and offer customers higher returns and greater value. The 210mm product technology platform will come with an increased cell efficiency of up to 30 per cent. The 210mm n-type technology will continue this trend.

More n-type cell and module factories are and have been coming into operation successively since late 2022. Lately, Trina Solar has been implementing a variety of net-zero practices, including operations, value chain and product management. (mfo)
