Trinasolar Co., Ltd. (“Trina” or “the company”), a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has once again been recognized as a “Top Performer” in nearly every category among global PV module manufacturers in the 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, published by Kiwa PV Evolution Labs (Kiwa PVEL), a third-party reliability testing laboratory. This achievement marks the 11th consecutive year that Trinasolar modules have won the prestigious “Top Performer” title. In particular, Trinasolar received recognition for the outstanding performance of its Vertex series, including the Vertex N 620W NEG19RC.20 and Vertex S+ 445W NE09RH.05 modules, as well as its hail-and-wind-resistant modules, featuring tempered glasses for added durability.
Kiwa PVEL’s annual PV Module Reliability Scorecard employs rigorous standards to provide detailed research and analysis for the PV module industry. Comprehensive testing extends beyond laboratory settings, helping buyers mitigate risks by identifying manufacturers known for superior system performance. Trinasolar’s testing modules, both p-type and n-type, excelled in the Production Qualification Program (PQP), showcasing the company’s dedication to producing high-quality, reliable PV modules. These findings facilitate informed, data-driven solar procurement and investment decisions for developers, financiers, and asset owners.
The significance of Trinasolar’s achievement becomes even more apparent when considering the increasingly stringent testing standards and evolving industry requirements that Kiwa PVEL has implemented over the years. The testing laboratory continuously refines its methodology to address emerging reliability challenges, including the introduction of new test categories such as ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID) assessment and enhanced hail stress sequences that better reflect real-world environmental conditions. Trinasolar’s ability to consistently earn Top Performer status despite these evolving and more demanding requirements demonstrates the company's proactive approach to quality assurance and investment in research and development (R&D) that anticipates future industry needs.
Trinasolar’s 210mm n-type scenario-based solutions, including the Vertex N 620W and Vertex S+ 455W modules, deliver a unique blend of higher power output, efficiency, bifaciality, and reduced degradation. The Vertex N 620W, with up to 23% efficiency, offers broad compatibility with trackers, providing optimum flexibility in utility-scale projects, even in the most complex terrains. are engineered to operate in a wide range of environments and applications while lowering BOS costs and LCOE to maximize customer value.
“Trinasolar is extremely proud of achieving an unprecedented eleventh consecutive ‘Top Performer’ award from Kiwa PVEL,” said Eric Cao, Vice President of Trinasolar North American PV Business. “The recognition further cements Trinasolar’s position as a leader in solar module quality, performance, and dependability, reinforcing our commitment to provide our customers enhanced solar project value.”
“Congratulations to Trinasolar for being named a Top Performer for the 11th year,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kiwa PVEL. “The consistency of Trinasolar’s performance across our Scorecards, year after year, showcases the company’s ability to continuously meet evolving industry standards and reliability expectations.”
