Trina Solar Added One More PV Factory for Stronger N-Type Cells

Global Cleantech Firm Trina Solar Is Back On BNEF's Tier 1 List

Trina Solar New Energy Industrial Park project’s commencement ceremony was held in Xining. This New Energy Industrial Park project will effectively cover every stage of PV modules production, from polysilicon fabrication to modules made with 210 and N-type technology.

10 GW N-type modules are on the way, for higher customer value

Trina claims that the facility will have production lines that can produce a combined total of 10GW of wafer slices, 10GW of cells, 10 GW of PV modules, and 15GW of auxiliaries for PV modules, as well as 35GW of MONO silicon and 300,000 tones of industrial silicon annually.

This project has two phases. In phase I, 100,000 tones of industrial silicon are anticipated annually, along with 50,000 tones of high-purity polysilicon, 20 GW of MONO silicon, 5 GW each of wafer slices, cells, and modules, and 7.5 GW each of auxiliaries. The first phase is expected to be finished by the end of 2023.

In phase II, 200,000 tones of industrial silicon, 100,000 tones of high-purity polysilicon, 15 GW of MONO silicon, 5 GW of wafer slices, 5 GW of cells, 5 GW of modules, and 7.5 GW of auxiliaries are scheduled to be produced annually. The end of 2025 is the projected completion date for Phase II.

An industrial chain must be established to further industrialise next-generation N-type cell technology, direct the industry toward switching to N-type, and increase value for customers as the market quickly moves towards a new stage of N-type. This is in line with the company’s strategic development.

Earlier this year, InfoLink, a global photovoltaic analysis agency, published a report ranking global module shipments for 2021. According to the report, Longi retained its no. 1 rank, and Trina has switched places at No 2 with Jinko Solar, now at no. 4. Along with it, topline results indicate that Canadian Solar(5), Q Cells (9), and First Solar(7) are the only non-Chinese firms in the top 10. Besides it Jinko Solar stakes claims as first to 8 GW shipment milestone in India.
