A Trina Solar announced that the 210 × 210 mm solar cell developed with PERC technology, for series production, reached an efficiency of 23.56%, setting a new record for this category.
The CPVT (National Center for Supervision and Quality Inspection of Solar Photovoltaic Products) also independently confirmed the result.
Also according to the company, the R&D (Research and Development) team maximized the large-scale production of 210 mm PERC cells with an optimization involving not only industrial processes, but also manufacturing equipment and materials.
“We are proud to announce the latest achievements developed by our technical team, aiming to achieve efficiency greater than 23.5% for larger areas with the 210mm PERC cells,” said Yifeng Chen, director of the Technology Research and Development Center. High Efficiency Cells and Modules from Trina Solar.
“It has been demonstrated that 210mm cells can achieve very high efficiency. Our team will continue to focus on innovative technologies for manufacturing products aimed at consolidating our technological leadership in the series production of ultra-high efficiency cells,” he added.
At the end of June, the manufacturer had already announced, for example, a new world record of 23.03% efficiency for the Vertex P-Type PERC module, confirmed by TÜV Rheinland and TÜV Nord.
670W module withstands Category 4 hurricane
After passing a series of tests, including simulation of non-uniform snowfall and dynamic mechanical load, the Vertex 670 W photovoltaic module, with 210 mm cells, produced by Trina Solar, also passed the extreme wind tunnel test.
According to the company, the result confirms that the ultra-high power panels maintain good performance even when subjected to extreme weather conditions, including those that characterize a category 4 hurricane, on the international Saffir-Simpson scale.
During the experiment, carried out in conjunction with CGC (China General Certification), the product remained intact even when the air speed reached the mark of 62 m/s (216 km/hour).
