CHANGZHOU, China,
Jan. 28, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- On January 26,
Trina Solar released its CAPEX and
LCOE assessment White Paper, including Fraunhofer ISE, DNV,
Black&Veatch, Enertis Applus+, and UL, five global
authoritative organizations for the Vertex series modules. The
calculation research covers 6 countries and forms 84 sets of
comparative data, which intuitively and comprehensively shows the
system value advantages of the Vertex series modules.

Accelerate the dual carbon goals attainment
At present, the world is committed to carbon neutrality, and
building a new power system with new energy as the main body is
also the direction of our country's energy transformation. As far
as the PV field is concerned, only a lower LCOE can accelerate the
replacement of fossil energy such as coal and crude oil, and
promote the realization of the "dual carbon" goals.
The latest White Paper starts by explaining the system value
principle and various ways of reducing levelized cost of energy
(LCOE). It lists the calculations and studies by Fraunhofer
ISE, DNV, BLACK&VEATCH, Enertis Applus+
and UL performed in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the United
States, Australia and the
UAE, covering PV modules of four different sizes: 210mm, 182mm,
166mm and 158mm. The study shows that the impact of using different
modules on the value of the whole system based mainly on the
difference in two indicators, balance of system (BOS) cost and
LCOE.
Cutting-edge Vertex 210mm Module's LCOE reduced by up to
4.1%
The "White Paper" points out that from the calculation formula
of LCOE, its value is proportional to all costs in the entire life
cycle, such as CAPEX, OPEX, etc., and is inversely proportional to
the power generation in the entire life cycle. Comparing the
research results of various measurement agencies, it can be seen
that under the same conditions, the power generation of the entire
project life cycle will be different for different component
(P-type) solutions, but the difference is limited, and the impact
of the project's CAPEX on LCOE is more significant. That is, when
the difference in power generation is limited, lower CAPEX
means lower LCOE.
The comparison results of the above-mentioned measurement
agencies in different regions and different types of projects show
that the 210 Vertex modules represented by Trina Solar have significant advantages in terms
of electrical system cost, transportation cost and tracker
installation cost compared with 182mm and 166mm
modules. Compared with the 182-540W reference module, the
Trina Solar Vertex 670W series module can reduce the corresponding
LCOE by 4.1%.
Trina Solar's 210 Vertex series
modules have taken the impact of system cost into account from the
beginning of design, and innovated the design concept of low
voltage and high power, which can increase the string power by up
to 41%, bringing higher system value and lower power consumption.
The cost of electricity has become the best choice for the
large-scale PV plants, and it also brings higher value to
customers.
Smart matching tool 3.0 goes live
In order to provide customers with better services, Trina Solar has previously launched the
intelligent matching databases for PV project design version 2.0,
which includes 22 string inverters of 238 products, 14 mainstream
tracker manufacturers, over 30 tracker products. The tool has been
upgraded to version 3.0 with richer data, allowing customers to
identify BOS and LCOE data and the difference of various modules
under a concrete project condition through an intelligent search.
