Trina Solar, the leading global PV and smart energy total solutions provider, 
has announced that its 210x210mm i-TOPCon cell has achieved maximum efficiency 
of 25.5%, setting a world record for the 23rd time.

The result was certified by the National Institute of Metrology of China, the 
preeminent metrology scientific research center and national legal metrology 
technical institution.

At the company's State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology, Trina Solar 
researchers solved technical problems related to selective boron emitter, 
large-area tunneling silicon oxide and doped polysilicon preparation, and 
high-efficiency hydrogen passivation. By using mass production cell equipment, 
they brought the maximum efficiency of large 210mm N-type monocrystalline cells 
to 25.5%. This new efficiency, the result of the company's continuing 
innovation and research efforts, demonstrates once again Trina Solar's prowess 
in cell 210x210mm i-TOPCon cell technology.

"We are extremely proud of these latest achievements," said Dr Chen Yifeng, 
head of the company's high efficiency cell and module R&D center, "Trina Solar 
is thoroughly committed to cutting-edge research and development and has been a 
pioneer in technological production and manufacturing, helping it to maintain 
its leading position with its efficient products."

The achievements have been vital as the company has pressed on with its 210mm 
N-type i-TOPCon high efficiency cell project, and paves the way for follow-up 
development in the high-end market.

Trina Solar's achievements have been widely welcomed in the industry, including 
by authorities and renowned institutions. In February Trina Solar was named by 
Reuters Events as one of the top 100 innovators in Global Energy Transition 
2022. The company was the only listed company in China in the list and among 
only a few others in the Asia and Pacific region to figure on it. 

Over the years Trina Solar has applied for 2,200 patents, making it an industry 
leader in this respect. It has played a key role in 107 industry standards and 
published 96 standards, making a tremendous contribution to advances in the 
photovoltaic technology.
