Trina Solar has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Australian solar wholesale distributor Solar Juice.

Under the agreement, Solar Juice will purchase 1GW of Trina Solar Vertex modules over three years, representing a significant proportion of residential and commercial solar capacity going into the Australian market.

“We thank Solar Juice for their ongoing confidence in Trina Solar’s products. With Trina Solar’s latest Vertex S+ dual-glass module series for rooftops, Solar Juice’s customers can leverage the latest 210mm rectangular silicon wafer (210R) cell and n-type iTOPCon technology to enjoy highest power, efficiency and guaranteed lifetime power output,” Trina Solar Asia Pacific head of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands Edison Zhou says.

“This contributes to lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and reduced balance of system (BOS) cost, guaranteeing the customer shorter payback time.”

Trina Solar will make available to Solar Juice its full range of Vertex N modules for Australian residential and commercial projects. The modules include the Vertex S+ NEG9R.28 and NEG9RC.27 with 450W+ mono-facial modules designed primarily for residential, and Vertex NEG18R.28, a 500W+ n-type i-TOPCon dual-glass module, specifically designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) and residential projects in Australia.

Trina Solar and Solar Juice have been long-term industry partners and enjoy a strong working relationship. The 1GW MoU further solidifies this partnership, supplying a significant quantity of modules to meet the solar demands for Australia’s growing residential and commercial sector.

The two companies have also agreed to continue to cooperate and combine competencies to maximise value for the benefit of residential and commercial customers and secure business for Solar Juice and Trina Solar’s mutual benefit.
