December 11Six companies, including Trina Solar, Canadian Solar, Risen Energy, TCL Zhonghuan, Tongwei Co., Ltd., and Chint New Energy, jointly issued an initiative to promote the standard design and application of 700W+ photovoltaic modulesIt has become an inevitable trend of industry progress to reduce the cost of electricity by improving the efficiency and power of the module. The industry has officially made great strides into the 700w+ era!
A little earlier, in mid-August this year, Trina Solar announced that the Extreme N-type 700W+ modules based on 210 technology had achieved mass production ahead of schedule, while Risen Energy and Canadian Solar had also mass-produced 210+ N-type 700W+ modules. According to some analysts, the large size of 210 has become an important way to increase the power of modules, from 500W+ to 600W+ and then to 700W+ today. WhileTrina Solar, the first promoter of 210mm size products, has just announced that as of November this year, its 210 module shipments will exceed 100GW!210 and 700W+ are becoming the new development direction of the industry.
The lantern industry has entered the era of 600W+
In February 2020, Trina Solar provided the industry's first 500W-class solution, pushing the industry into the 500W+ era. In March 2021, Trina Solar once again took the lead in releasing the Extreme 670W series modules, leading the industry into the 600W+ era. In the same year, Trina Solar and other leading companies also initiated the establishment of the 600W+ Innovation Ecosystem Alliance to unite the strength of industry chain partners to accelerate the industrialization of 600W+. In April 2022, Trina Solar launched the first 210R rectangular wafer module in the industry, breaking the "deadlock" of the power of ordinary medium-sized modules that cannot break through 600W, and has higher system value. The market value and customer value of rectangular silicon wafer modules are highlighted. In July this year, nine module companies in the industry jointly launched the "Initiative on Standardization of Rectangular Wafer Module Size", and then accelerated the introduction of products into the global market.
In the first half of this year, at the SNEC 2023 Shanghai International Solar Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Exhibition, among the 68 mainstream exhibitors, all mainstream enterprises advanced to 600W+. Among them, 600w+ products based on 210 technology occupy an absolute advantage, accounting for about sixty percent. In the second half of the year, at the Intersolar South America International Solar Energy Exhibition, there were 53 manufacturers exhibiting 600W+ modules, accounting for 78%, and the industry was already in the 600W+ eraCompanies participating in the Rectangular Wafer Module Standardization Initiative exhibited standardized size modules at the exhibition, and module leaders also showcased 210R-based module products. At the All Energy exhibition in Australia in September, more companies outside the joint initiative displayed 2382mm*1134mm exhibits, and the rectangular trend is unstoppable in the world.
Innovative N technology leads the new era, and 700W+ mass production has become an industrial trendAs an open technology platform, 210 can be superimposed with various cutting-edge technologies, including n-type, and is forward-looking and widely compatible. Trina Solar has been deeply engaged in the industrialization of n-type modules for many years, continuously innovating and upgrading the 210 Supreme product technology, significantly improving the power and efficiency of modules, continuously improving the best value for customers, and leading the photovoltaic industry to quickly enter the "210+" super runway.
Trina Solar took the lead in the research and development of n-type cell technology, and pioneered the "i-TopCon" bifacial cell structure and process flow with positive and back contact, and realized the industrialization of this ultra-efficient cell technology. At the end of 2022, Trina Solar released the 210+N Extreme N-type all-scenario solution. In February this year, the Supreme N-type product was upgraded again, helping the industry to accelerate into the N-type era. In August, Trina Solar once again took the lead in the industry to achieve mass production of the Extreme N-type 700W+ module based on the independent N-type i-TopCon technology route, with an efficiency of up to 225%。It is expected that in 2024, the efficiency of this series of modules will be close to 23%, and the mass production of 710W modules will be realized.
With the mass production of Extreme n-type 700W+ high-power modules, Trina Solar is once again leading the process of industrialization of advanced technology. At Intersolar South America in the second half of this year, N-type modules accounted for 511%, among the leading companies participating in the exhibition, 20 700W+ modules all adopt 210 size superimposed n-type technology, and the development trend of large-size superimposed n-type technology has been unstoppable. At RE+ in the United States, Trina Solar's N-type 700W+ series modules brought the latest technology to North American customers and professional visitors, further bringing the 700W+ trend overseas.
It is worth mentioning that Canadian Solar, Risen Energy, etc., all have the layout and mass production of 210+N type 700W modules. The joint initiative to promote the design and application of 700W+ photovoltaic module standards also includes the participation of TCL Zhonghuan, Tongwei Co., Ltd., Chint New Energy and other enterprises, and the 700W+ "circle of friends" continues to expand.
The value of 700W+ is highlighted, and projects from all over the world are coming
Trina Solar's N-type 700W series modules are designed for PV owners to maximize the cost of PV landits heightThe power, low-voltage design can save about 10% and 30% of electrical equipment compared to other n-type componentsThe corresponding BOS cost savings can reach 4 dW, highlighting the excellent advantages of 210 large-size modules in large power station scenarios, and is known as the "king of LCOE" of ground power stations.
Up to now, Trina Solar's N-type 700W series modules have been arriving all over the world: Shipped to Saudi Arabia 455MW to help local desalination;Supply 560MW to Xinghai County to help Qinghai build a national clean energy industry highland;Arrived at the Ningxia coal mining subsidence area to promote the "sunshine" transformation of the project site;Climb the highest altitude area to achieve 88MW of animal husbandry and light complementation. Canadian Solar's 700W+ modules are also used in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and 700W modules have helped many projects at home and abroad to upgrade green.

Since its establishment in 1997, Trina Solar has been at the forefront of the industry for more than 26 years, and its product reliability and technology leadership have always been at the leading level, and it has repeatedly led the industry standards. Nowadays, the photovoltaic industry has entered the N-type 700W+ era, which is inseparable from the technical guidance of leading enterprises, and it is inseparable from the collaborative cooperation between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
