Trina Solar said this week that it has started producing its Vertex solar panels – featuring 550 W of power output – at its new factory in Yancheng, in China's Jiangsu province.
“The mass production of the 550 W module is a milestone in speeding up the industrialization of ultra-high power module technological innovations and their application,” said the Chinese manufacturer. “Vertex 550 W ultra-high power modules contain three key advanced technologies, including multi-bus grid, non-destructive cutting and high-density packaging.”
The manufacturer launched its first 500 W-plus solar panels in February. It also recently revealed that its Vertex 600 W/550 W modules had passed TÜV Rheinland's comprehensive reliability test.
