Trina Solar publishes white paper on global Inverters matching for Trina Solar Vertex series modules

CHANGZHOU,China,Sept. 10,2021 -- Trina Solar has published awhite paperonInverter Matching for Trina Solar's Vertex Series PV Modules,including 410W,510W,550W,600W and 670W series,the first intelligent invertersmatching database in the global photovoltaic industry.

The inverters covered in the paperare fully adaptive to all modules in the 210 Vertex series,focusing on the Vertex550W,600W and 670W series ultra-high power modules,covering 19 mainstream inverter brands and more than 180 inverter models globally,adaptivetoutility-scale power plants,as well asindustrial and commercial distributedPVprojects,and inagricultural,fisheryand ResidentialPV powersettings.

The white paper provides customers a clear reference for convenient,systematic and multi-choice inverter matching in different settings.

Modules and inverters are important components of power plants,and matchingdirectly improves system safety and value. Publication of the white paper is a milestone in promoting efficient and synergistic development of the industry and the building of ahigh-power PV ecology.

In addition to the comprehensiveinverter matching database,the paper introduces the first quick matching tool(http://invertertool.trinasolar.com/) in the industry globally,which helps customers to locate,with just one click,their most suitableinverter.

Fully compatible withutility-scale power plants

The210Vertexseries modules adoptalow voltage,high-string power design,which significantly increases string power and reduces the purchase and installation cost of cables and auxiliary materialsas well as the cost of trackersandpile foundations,reducing the BOS and LCOE of power plants.The210Vertexserieshas become a mainstream product on the market. In the utility-scale power plant setting,13 of the world's leading inverter brands and their products have been selected in the paper.

Fully compatible with distributed scenario: support ultra-high power modules for rooftop applications

Because of significant advantagesinBOS and LCOE,600W and 670W ultra-high power modules are not limited to utility-scale power plants.DistributedPV powerprojects have also upgraded toadoptTrina Solar's newestultra-high powermodules.All mainstream distributed inverter brands globallyhave launched their own series of string inverter solutions for application in distributed and Residential PV power projects.

Thewhitepaper provides customers with many optionsforeach situation.In the instance of commercial and industrial distributed PV power,17 inverter brands are listed,such as FIMER,FRONIUS,INGETEAM,KACO,adding up to more than 100 models that all meet the application requirements. In rooftop household settings 11 inverter brands are included,adding up to 47 models to choose from,significantly improving matching efficiency.

With inverter manufacturers all adaptive,a ultra-high power PV ecology is formed

The ultra-high powermodules are an unstoppable trend. In terms ofmarket demand,the productioncapacityfor210seriesmodulesis forecast toreach 147GW this year and 234GWnext year,according to PVinfolink report. Large-size modules are forecast to account for more than 70% of overallmodule capacity worldwide.

In terms of inverter manufacturers,afterfullvalidationby themarket,upgradingproductionto match 210 High-Power modules has become a common choice.At this year's SNECPV Power Expo in Shanghai,dozens of inverter manufacturers exhibitedtheirhigh-current inverters. With the publication of the white paper 19 mainstream globalinverter manufacturers and 180+ adaptive models have joined Trina Solar'sMatchingInverter Database,and the number will continue to grow.
