Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has again secured a place on the BNEF Tier 1 PV module manufacturer list, a testament to its robust bankability, advanced technological capability, and the world-renowned 210mm n-type TOPCon modules. This recognition highlights Trinasolar’s leadership in the global PV industry and further solidifies its brand influence and market competitiveness as a benchmark enterprise in the sector.
The BNEF Tier 1 PV Module Manufacturers list, widely recognized as one of the most authoritative benchmarks in the solar industry, has long been regarded by investors and capital markets as a key indicator for evaluating company performance and tracking market trends. In 2024, BNEF significantly tightened its evaluation criteria. To qualify as a Tier 1 manufacturer, companies must meet strict requirements, including supplying for at least six projects (over 5MW) with own-brand and own-manufactured products. Projects must have secured non-recourse financing from six different non-development banks. With its inclusion in the prestigious list, Trinasolar once again demonstrated its trusted brand reputation and exceptional overall capabilities, reaffirming its position as a global leader in the solar industry.
Trinasolar has long been at the forefront of the cutting-edge innovation in n-type TOPCon module technology. After breaking the efficiency record for large-area industrial TOPCon solar cells at 26.58%, Trinasolar officially launched its ground-breaking TOPCon Ultra technology and applied it to Vertex N modules. This milestone signifies the solar industry’s entry into the TOPCon 2.0 era. The upgraded Vertex N module series features an impressive bifaciality of up to 90% and exceptional resistance to UV-induced degradation, ensuring high reliability and safeguarding long-term value for customers.
The upgraded Vertex N series modules are built on Trinasolar’s 210mm product technology platform. By strategically adopting the 210mm size standard early on, Trinasolar not only established itself as an industry leader but also played a pivotal role in fostering a collaborative 210mm industrial ecosystem. According to TrendForce, by the end of 2024, global cumulative shipments of 210mm products had reached approximately 385GW, with Trinasolar alone accounting for over 170GW.
Trinasolar has been deeply committed to smart solar and energy storage solutions for decades, earning widespread recognition from third-party institutions for the exceptional quality and reliability of its modules and energy storage systems. Trina Storage has been recognized as BNEF Tier 1 Energy Storage Manufacturer for five consecutive quarters and consistently ranks among the top on BNEF’s Global Storage Providers and Integrators Bankability Survey. Additionally, Trinasolar has been named a Top Performer by Kiwa PVEL for 10 consecutive years and has been recognized as an “Overall Highest Achiever” by RETC for four straight years. Committed to its mission of “Solar Energy for All,”, Trinasolar will continue to drive the energy transition through innovation and exceptional product quality, contributing to the creation of a sustainable and net-zero future.
