China-headquartered Trina Solar, a global solar technology company, has connected a 67.5 MW agrivoltaics plant in Guizhou, China, to the grid using its Vertex N 720W modules. The plant was expected to save 20,900 tons of coal and reduce 57,100 tons of CO₂ annually. Located on a sun-rich plateau with 1,100 hours of annual sunlight, the site used underutilized land. It improved the regional power supply and supported thousands of households. The modules, built with 210 mm and n-type i-TOPCon Advanced technology, passed seven Kiwa PVEL reliability tests and received UVID certification. The project also combined solar power with livestock farming under elevated modules. Trina Solar had implemented similar projects in New Zealand, including Kohirā, Rangitaiki, Waikato, and Te Herenga o Te Rā. Unveiled at Smart Energy Australia, Trina Solar’s Shield Extreme module and Elementa 2 Pro 5 MWh battery complemented its global efforts.
