-The firm leads the global photovoltaic industry into the solar 5.0 era-

On March 18, 2020, Trina Solar Co., Ltd ("Trina Solar" or the "Company"), a 
global leading provider of integrated PV modules and smart energy solutions, 
announced the pilot line for the mass production of the 500W+ Duomax V and 
Tallmax V ("V series") modules. The event marks another milestone achieved by 
the company this year after the global launch of the V series on February 27.

The 500W+ V series modules, with a conversion efficiency reaching 21%, boast a 
power output exceeding over 500W. Incorporating 210mm cells, the 500W+ V series 
modules come in two versions - the Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules and 
Tallmax V back sheet modules and can be seamlessly connected to existing 
mainstream photovoltaic system designs, including tracking solutions. Based on 
Trina Solar's superior multi-busbar technology, the modules incorporate an 
innovative design that integrates advanced three-piece, non-destructive cutting 
and high-density packaging technologies, eliminating the potential risks 
associated with ultra-high power modules: voltage, current and thermal overload 
as well as micro cracks. To address the new challenges, Initiated by Trina 
Solar, the company and its partners jointly developed several industry firsts: 
a high-speed non-destructive cutting technology, uniform welding for 
multi-busbar solar modules made of 210mm cells, a new methodology for automated 
layout of solar panels as well as laminated welding equipment capable of 
handling mass production. These firsts, when integrated into the production 
process, help to achieve steady production.

Trina Solar vice general manager and executive vice president Yin Rongfang 
said, "the 500W+ V series modules are the result of many technological 
improvements to the manufacturing process undertaken over the last 20+ years 
combined with our accumulated experience in many aspects of the end-to-end 
process, including product integration and downstream systems. We are 
encouraged by the fact that the products have received wide attention and 
recognition from our industry colleagues, customers and media since their 
launch. The 500W+ V series modules not only bring us to a new breakthrough 
point for customer value maximization, but also inject a new driving force for 
value growth into the whole photovoltaic industry chain. The successful pilot 
line for the mass production of the 500W+ V series modules has laid a solid 
foundation for the capacity expansion to 5.5 GW this year, leading the global 
photovoltaic industry into the solar 5.0 era and a win-win market for 
ultra-high power modules."

The Duomax V bifacial double-glass modules has passed the TUV Rheinland 
photovoltaic module IEC test and been granted the IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 PV 
module performance standards certificates. Trina Solar's 500W+ V series modules 
are one of the first ultra-high power modules to be certified by authoritative 
testing institutions.
