Trina Solar has put forward the LCOE-oriented principle for the future of high-power PV solutions.

The market research is based on real-world experience including market trends to power industry growth to build a zero-carbon world. It states that reducing LCOE in PV power stations with high power, high efficiency, high reliability and high energy yield.

High-power PV products are sweeping the world according to Trina Solar, as evidenced in events such as Intersolar Europe in Germany in May and Intersolar South America in Brazil at the end of August. About 30 module manufacturers exhibited more than 40 600W+ products using technologies such as PERC, HJT and TOPCon.

Trina Solar has shipped more than 30GW of 210 modules worldwide, with the industry as a whole shipping more than 50GW by June. InfoLink, a world-leading renewables consultancy, has forecast that this year the production capacity of 210mm cells will reach 309GW and of modules 344GW.

Cutting LCOE has always been a key driver in the rise of PV installed capacity and remains the supreme goal of technological innovation in the PV industry.

Reducing initial investment in PV power stations and increasing total power generation during their life cycle is crucial in bringing down LCOE. High-power and high-efficiency products can significantly increase string power, reduce BOS costs and reduce initial project investment.

Solar modules with high energy yield and high reliability directly increase the total energy yield of a power station during its lifetime. Trina Solar has found that continuously cutting LCOE are a key element of superior PV modules.
