Trina Solar announced the launch of its high-efficiency bifacial module DUOMAX Twin at Clean Energy Expo China (CEEC Expo) 2017 in Beijing.
The DUOMAX Twin integrates Trina Solar’s high efficiency bifacial PERC cell and Duomax module.
Trina Solar specializes in PERC cell technology, achieving several world records in mono-PERC cell conversion efficiency.
DUOMAX Twin generates power from both the front and back sides of the solar module and performs well even under weak light conditions.
The front side receives direct sunlight while the back side receives reflected and scattered light. Compared with traditional single-sided modules, the DUOMAX Twin can deliver as much as 25% additional generating capacity, the company claims.
The DUOMAX Twin enables increased energy density and more electricity generation, as a result of which, the output of the projects will be increased with the same development costs as standard modules.
By maximizing energy generation, the DUOMAX Twin significantly reduces levelized cost of electricity (LCOE).
Since bifacial modules absorb solar radiation from both sides, they allow a variety of tilt and installation options and are ideal for elevated ground, rooftop, desert and snowy area installations or on-water applications.
The dual-glass design used in all DUOMAX panels provides extreme durability even in the harshest environments.
“In the past, we were focused on improving our overall product quality and reducing costs with continuous technology development and optimization of materials,” said Rongfang Yin, vice president of Global Sales & Marketing at Trina Solar.
“Going forward, Trina Solar will put additional effort into product segmentation, which will allow our customers to choose products uniquely suited to their distinct project environments,” Yin added.
