Trinasolar, a global solar technology company, has announced that its cumulative shipments of 210 mm modules surpassed 170 GW. In Q1 2024, cumulative 210 mm module shipments surpassed 260 GW, while total industry shipments since the launch of the first 210 mm module in 2020 reached 380 GW by December 2024. Both shipment volume and growth rate set new industry records. Research on silicon wafer development led Trinasolar to adopt 210 mm wafers as the new standard, increasing wafer size by 50%. The company introduced 210R rectangular silicon wafer modules after studying customer applications, regulations, and transportation. The dimensions and mounting hole distances were incorporated into industry and SEMI standards. The 210 mm platform advanced module power from 500 W to 700 W, reducing LCOE. In the n-type era, Trinasolar’s TOPCon Ultra technology achieved 26.58% cell efficiency, aiming to surpass 27% and break 30% with perovskite tandem cells, leading to 800 W+ modules. The 600 W+ PV Open Innovation Ecological Alliance accelerated 600 W+ product industrialization.
