On August 24, Trina Solar announced that its proprietary Vertex high-efficiency 
n-type monocrystalline silicon module, based on 66 pcs of 210 mm x 210 mm 
high-efficiency n-type i-TOPCon cells, has achieved a record aperture module 
efficiency of 24.24% for industrial large-area n-type i-TOPCon modules. This is 
independently confirmed by TÜV Nord.

In this March, Trina Solar brought the maximum efficiency of 25.5% for 
large-area 210 × 210mm i-TOPCon cells, setting a new world record for 
industrial large-area n-type i-TOPCon cell.

Trina Solar's researchers in State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology 
developed multi-busbar and novel encapsulation technologies, together with 
non-destructive laser cutting technology to improve module efficiency. By using 
large-area 210mm n-type i-TOPCon cells, they brought the maximum aperture 
efficiency of 24.24% for large-area 600W+ modules with an area of 2.807 m2.

"We are very proud to announce the latest achievements developed by our 
technical team at the State Key Lab. This is the first time to demonstrate over 
24% module aperture efficiency with industrial large-area n-type i-TOPCon 
cells," said Dr. Yifeng Chen Yifeng, head of high efficiency cell and module 
R&D center, " This is the 25th record that Trina Solar achieved in terms of 
cell and module efficiencies. Trina Solar is dedicated in technology innovation 
and its transfer to high efficiency products, to create value for our 
customers. "

Trina Solar strategically develops n-type products and continues to lead the 
next generation of high-efficiency n-type technology to create greater value 
for customers. Since taking the lead in realizing the mass production of n-type 
modules in 2018, Trina Solar's high-efficiency and high-power n-type modules 
have been well recognized by the market and widely used in utility power 
stations and C&I power plants.

In order to meet the growing demand for 210+ n-type solar modules, in 2022, 
Trina Solar plans 8 GW production capacity of n-type modules, which all based 
on Trina Solar's 210+ N technology, best combining high-efficiency of n-type 
cells and high reliability of 210 Vertex module, bringing premium green 
technology and perfect aesthetic experience to residential customers.
