Trina Solar Co., Ltd ("Trina Solar" or the "Company"), a global leading 
provider of integrated PV modules and smart energy solutions, has formally 
unveiled its latest Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules and Tallmax V back 
sheet. Based on the 210mm large-size silicon wafer and monocrystalline PERC 
cell, the new modules come replete with several innovative design features 
allowing high power output of more than 500Wp and efficiency up to 21%, 
consolidating the Company's leadership and embracing a new era of PV 5.0.

According to preliminary estimates from large-scale ground mounted power 
stations in China's Heilongjiang province, compared with conventional 410W 
bifacial double-glass modules, the 500W Duomax V can reduce the 
balance-of-system (BOS) cost by 6 to 8 per cent and the levelized cost of 
energy (LCOE) by 3 to 4 per cent. Trina Solar will formally start accepting 
orders in the second quarter of 2020 and is set to achieve mass production in 
the third quarter, with production capacity expected to exceed 5GW by the end 
of the year.

Based on its superior multi-busbar technology, Trina Solar's research and 
development team has introduced an innovative design that integrates advanced 
three-piece, non-destructive cutting and high-density packaging technologies. 
This further reduces the resistance loss and significantly improves the 
anti-cracking, anti-hot spot performance of the modules while maximizing space 
utilization. By doing so, the scientists created high-power modules 
characterized by high efficiency and high reliability. If the traditional 
half-cut cell design were applied to 210mm ultra-large silicon wafers, the high 
current output characteristics of the modules could trigger system challenges, 
or cause the module to crack or run afoul of DC terminal limits.  

In addition, the unique design of the new modules can ensure that the output 
current, open circuit voltage and mechanical load of the modules comply with 
relevant downstream technical safety specifications and can seamlessly connect 
with the existing mainstream PV system design. At the launch event, Trina Solar 
signed strategic cooperation agreements with POWERCHINA Jiangxi Electric Power 
Construction, China Energy Engineering Investment's Heilongjiang branch, 
Shouguang Power Investment Haobang New Energy, SEPCOIII Electric Power 
Construction and other power generation-related firms, paving the way for the 
full deployment of ultra-high-power modules in the terminal market.

Trina Solar vice general manager and executive vice president Yin Rongfang 
said, "Trina Solar has accumulated decades of experience in module design and 
manufacturing. We hope to drive the standardization of modules through our 
design and manufacturing advantages, which will not only benefit many segments 
in the industrial chain, but also enhances the design commonality of modules on 
the system side." Yin added, "In addition to the product itself, a good module 
requires consideration of its matching capability with existing systems. Thanks 
to Trina Solar's experience in tracking systems, integrated solution and ground 
power station projects, we explored and solved the potential challenges that 
could arise in the practical application of the system early in the research 
and development stage, and fully tapped the potential of the product. I believe 
our new modules will bring the photovoltaic market to the next stage."
