World Youth Skills Day: Trinasolar partners with leading academic institutions to shape the next generation of innovation

As global energy transition accelerates, the solar industry is drawing increasing talent across its value chain. The IEA projects that achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 could generate 30 million clean energy jobs by 2030, a goal that will require collaboration among corporations, educators, and governments. Committed to leading the way in smart PV and energy storage solutions, Trinasolar leads industry-academia collaborations by aligning industrial demands with academic expertise. The company focuses on cultivating skilled local talent while driving the adoption of advanced solar technologies, accelerating the practical deployment of innovative technologies.  

To mark World Youth Skills Day 2025, Trinasolar reaffirms its support for the upskilling of young professionals through global industry-academia initiatives, empowering them to shape and illuminate the path toward a sustainable energy future. 

Practice Drives Progress: Bridging Talent and Technology 

Spain has emerged as the second-largest solar market in the European Union, with growth far outpacing the regional average. To support this momentum, Trinasolar has delivered integrated PV and storage projects and owned an industry-leading R&D center for solar tracking technology, driving the adoption of advanced technologies in the Spanish solar industry. 

In June, Trinasolar, in collaboration with the Institute of Solar Energy at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (IES-UPM), inaugurated a joint Demo Center. This facility provides students with hands-on experience in cutting-edge photovoltaic technologies. Building on their collaboration since 2024, the Demo Center exemplifies the integration of corporate R&D with academic training, provides students with a front-line platform for photovoltaic technology practice, facilitating research translation and talent growth.  

Advance Renewable Energy and Illuminate Career Opportunities 

In recent years, Brazil has made significant strides in expanding its renewable energy sector, with notable success in distributed systems like rooftop PV. This progress not only bolsters energy security and reduces energy poverty but also generates significant employment opportunities, manifesting the vision of “energy transition driving job creation”. 

Trinasolar and Facens Research Institute recently inaugurated a Solar Energy Training Center in Sorocaba. The center integrates technical training, applied research, and industry engagement to develop professionals with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It offers students real-world learning opportunities while upskilling frontline workers—such as installers, EPC companies, and engineers—by enhancing their technical expertise.  

Renowned for its excellence in sustainable development education, FACENS is a leading engineering institution known for cultivating top-tier technical talent. This collaboration reinforces Trinasolar’s presence in Latin America and the Caribbean while highlighting the company’s dedication to empowering youth industry-academia initiatives. 

Drive Innovation and Expand Technological Frontiers 

Innovation has always been at the core of Trinasolar’s strategy and a key driver of its growth. Trinasolar’s groundbreaking advancements in PV-storage integration, silicon-perovskite tandem cells, and TOPCon technology have been made possible through extensive collaborations with leading universities and research institutions worldwide. 

In 2024, Trinasolar and Fudan University inaugurated the Advanced Photovoltaic Technology Joint Laboratory, focused on addressing frontier challenges in solar technologies. Building on this success, the company partnered with NTU Singapore’s Energy Research Institute (ERI@N) and Centre for Power Electronics (CPE) to develop smart energy storage systems enhanced by AI-driven tools. Additionally, Trinasolar joined forces with Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) to tackle critical challenges in battery performance and advanced energy storage battery technologies.  

Through partnerships with world-class institutions, Trinasolar continues to push the boundaries of solar and energy storage innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that address complex challenges and create meaningful value for customers worldwide. 

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals emphasize that renewable energy transitions must ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services. Trinasolar strives to meet this goal by expanding its global upskilling initiatives, advancing technological innovations, enhancing talent development, and promoting sharing of educational resource. Looking ahead, Trinasolar remains committed to building a collaborative industry-academia ecosystem and a sustained journey toward net-zero future.
