Intersolar News: Trina Solar showcases enhanced Trinasmart

News

Chinese module maker Trina Solar Limited (TSL), is presenting an enhanced version of Trinasmart, their module-integrated solution that optimises the energy output of PV systems, enhances the safety of solar arrays, improves the installation speed of an array, and reduces BOS costs.

Trinasmart now features Smart Curve, which enables the installation of up to 30 per cent longer strings than a traditional module.This reduces the number of balance of systems components required per array, while also making the installation faster and easier. Trinasmart accomplishes this by reducing the maximum output voltage to 32.2V (on the 60-cell DC05A Honey M module) compared to 38.4V without Smart Curve. The maximum voltage with Smart Curve is constant regardless of the temperature.  This technology solution is compliant with all international safety regulations. Overall, Smart Curve reduces the BOS costs by about five cents per Wp, while harvesting more energy due to reduced l2R loss because of the reduced number of strings. Smart Curve is TÜV and CSA certified.

The patented Trinasmart technology is a complete solution with power optimiser and monitoring, as well as Smart Curve and safety all built into the module junction box. As opposed to other solutions, Trinasmart allows monitoring and control of the PV array at module level and will work with any inverter. Trinasmart with Smart Curve is fully covered by Trina Solar's 10-year product warranty and 25-year linear performance warranty. The enhanced Trinasmart technology comes built into the new high-efficiency DC05A Honey M module series, featuring black monocrystalline cells and a black frame for great aesthetics. The 260Wp DC05A.25 comes with a black backsheet, making the module a perfect full black fit for dark roofs, while the white backsheet of the DC05A.28 results in a slightly higher power output of 265Wp.

Trinasmart also improves the safety of the PV system: in cases of electrical failure (e.g. flashing arc), Trinasmart shuts down the affected modules automatically. Moreover, in the case of an external fire the modules can be totally deactivated, eliminating high voltages and improving the safety of firefighters during an emergency. Trinasmart increases building security and complies with current and future European regulations demanding low voltage shut-off capabilities.

With Trinasmart, all modules operate at their Maximum Power Point (MPP); the optimiser itself fixes mismatches automatically. Accordingly, every module in a string performs at the maximum level, delivering optimal energy output. When using Trinasmart, designers can use parts of the roof that are prone to shading without causing the entire system to lose power. Traditional modules would decrease the energy output in the string, but not Trinasmart "“ the solution automatically takes care of this. All in all, system output in case of shading and differing module performance within one string is improved by up to 20 per cent. system performance can also be monitored and controlled in real time thanks to the web-based Trinasmart platform "“ with a smart mobile device or a PC.

Ben Hill, President of Trina Solar Europe, said: "We're glad about the fruitful co-operation with our strategic partner Tigo Energy. We're committed to making green energy more efficient, cleaner, and simply smart. Trinasmart is a technology that goes beyond modules. Our customers will directly benefit from our joint innovation: more energy output and higher safety permanently "“ this is Smart Energy Together. Modules, intelligent solutions, services, and strategic partnerships: this is our path into the future."
