TrinaTracker lists Vanguard 1P and Vanguard 2P, with Agile 1P removed from the portfolio
Vanguard 2P uses a spherical bearing design and multi-drive system with 120-module rows
The 1P tracker from the company supports longer rows and higher slope tolerance, with GCR up to 55%
TrinaTracker, the tracker arm of leading integrated cell and module maker Trinasolar, is represented in the TaiyangNews Market Survey on Solar Trackers 2025 survey with 2 products: Vanguard 1P and Vanguard 2P. The company has delisted its Agile 1P tracker. The specifications of the listed products remain unchanged.
Vanguard 2P is based on the company’s patented spherical bearing design. This is a 3-dimensional articulation system used in the field for over 15 years. It supports self-maintenance and reduces the risk of post-twisting and drive failures. The design also lowers installation time by about 15%. It avoids repeated calibration and improves terrain adaptation.
The tracker accommodates 120 modules in a 1,500 V configuration. It has a row length of 68 m and a width of 4.78 m. The system offers a tracking range of ±55° and supports up to 15% slope in the north-south direction. It uses a multi-drive configuration with 3 linear actuators per tracker. All drives are synchronized through a single transmission bar. This helps reduce wind load impact. The GCR is specified as greater than 25%. The product is also rated for low-failure operation and has been validated through RWDI wind-tunnel testing.
The second product is Vanguard 1P. It supports up to 90 modules over a row length of 110 m. The design includes a patented Trina Clamp that reduces installation time. Dual dampers improve stability and tracking under wind gusts. The structure uses a 130 mm rounded torque tube designed for long spans and high loads. This improves torsional and bending strength. The tracker supports a slope tolerance of up to 20° and a tracking range of ±60°. The GCR ranges from 30% to 55%. It is compatible with large-format, high-power modules.
Both trackers share common structural and electrical features. They use S275 and S355 steel with HDG and ZM310 coatings. The systems meet up to C5 corrosion standards. They use 24 V DC brushed motors and support grid-, self-, and string-powered configurations. The trackers are rated for wind speeds up to 198 km/h for short-duration events. Stowing strategies differ by product: 30° for Vanguard 1P and 0° for Vanguard 2P.
The control system is based on the company’s SuperTrack algorithm. It is designed to improve energy yield under diffuse irradiation and complex terrain conditions. Monitoring is handled through the Trina Smart Cloud platform, which supports real-time tracking and reduces O&M requirements.
Both products are IEC 62817 certified. The company offers a 10-year warranty for the structure and 5 years for electronics.
