CHANGZHOU, China, Dec. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Solar Limited
(NYSE: TSL) ("Trina Solar" or the
"Company"), a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) modules, solutions
and services, today announced that its State Key Laboratory of PV
Science and Technology has set a new world record for power output
from a high efficiency multi-crystalline silicon PV module.
Trina Solar's Honey Plus
multi-crystalline silicon PV module reached a new power output
record of 324.5Wp, which has been independently certified by TUV
Rheinland. This result marks a new world record for a
multi-crystalline silicon module composed of 60 high-efficiency
Honey Plus multi-crystalline silicon cells (156×156mm2)
produced with advanced technologies including back surface
passivation and local back surface field, which were developed by
Trina Solar and are currently in
pilot production.
This further builds on the Company's recent new world record for
its Honey Plus p-type PERC cell which reached an efficiency
of 20.76% as independently confirmed by Fraunhofer ISE CalLab in
Germany. This result was listed in
the "Solar Cell Efficiency Table (Version 45)" in the current issue
of Progress in Photovoltaics (source: Prog. Photovolt: Res.
Appl. 2015; 23:1–9) and was also recognized as an R&D highlight
at the 6th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy
Conversion (WCPEC-6).
Trina Solar has set four new
world records in 2014 for p-type PERC cells and modules.
These include new records for large-area (156×156 mm2)
p-type silicon substrates of 21.40% for mono-crystalline and
20.76% for multi-crystalline silicon solar cells, as well as new
peak power output records for commercial PV modules of 335.2Wp for
mono-crystalline and 324.5Wp for multi-crystalline silicon solar
cells.
"At the Trina Solar State Key Laboratory of PV Science and
Technology (SKL PVST), our focus is on delivering meaningful
scientific and technological innovations," said Dr. Zhiqiang Feng, vice president of Trina Solar and director of the SKL PVST. "We
are proud to have set several new world records for PV cells and
modules on large-area substrates in 2014 which have delivered
improvements to the efficiency, reliability and cost of crystalline
silicon photovoltaic devices. Such R&D breakthroughs continue
to demonstrate Trina Solar's
position as the leader in technological innovations in the solar
industry and sets base for future mass production of high
efficiency products."
