Trina Solar at All Energy Australia 2023: Trina Solar has announced that it will be exhibiting its Vertex N 700W module at the All Energy Australia trade show in Melbourne, to be held on October 25 and 26. As the name suggests, the bifacial i-TOPCon module has a maximum power output of 700 W and a maximum efficiency of 22.5%. The company says that it is working with its research partners in Australia to develop cells based on perovskite. Trina will also be showcasing the Vertex S+ 450W, a mono-facial module designed for residential rooftops, a 610 W Vertex N bifacial module with up to 22.6% efficiency, a 500 W Vertex N module with efficiency of up to 22.5%. Apart from its modules, the company will also be promoting Trina Storage, its energy storage arm, and its Elementa G2 4MWh solution. In addition, TrinaTracker has invited Australian and New Zealand installers to an event the day before All Energy to highlight the Vanguard 1P tracker and other installation features. Recently, Tongwei Solar has also announced that it will unveil its innovative modules at All-Energy Australia (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
