Trinasolar Supplies Vertex Modules for 500 MW Solar Project in China’s Gobi Desert

China-based Trinasolar has recently supplied its Vertex modules, based on the 210mm technology platform, to provide high power output, efficiency and long-term reliability. The project is contributing to increased energy production while also promoting environmental renewal.

The plant site receives about 3,200 hours of usable sunshine annually, making it an ideal location for photovoltaic development. Now operating at full capacity, the 500 MW project generates about 736.5 million kWh of electricity per year. In addition, PV panels help mitigate land degradation by lowering surface temperatures, reducing water evaporation and limiting wind and sand erosion.

Previously, a 1.3 GW solar-storage power station in northwestern China was connected to the grid using all of Trinasolar's Vertex N modules.

Continuing this trend, an agrivoltaic power plant in Guizhou province, southwestern China, with a total capacity of 67.5 MW, is now grid-connected using Trinasolar's Vertex N 720W series modules.

Additionally, a 1 GW solar-storage project under construction in northwestern China, with Trinasolar supplying 210 MW of its high-efficiency Vertex N 720W series modules, is scheduled to be grid-connected by the end of this year.

About The Project

Through this project, Trinasolar is helping transform once-hostile sandy landscapes into a thriving "blue ocean" of green energy by constructing rows of solar panels. This initiative also lowers the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) while ensuring a stable energy yield, notwithstanding harsh environmental challenges such as drought and sandstorms in the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert in Jinta, Gansu Province.

"This project goes beyond energy generation — it exemplifies how solar power can actively restore degraded land," said Cao Yunduan, Head of Global Branding and Marketing at Trinasolar. "It stands as a compelling testament to the successful integration of ecological preservation and sustainable energy."
