Product of the Week: Mitigate Hail and Wind Risks with Trina Solar’s 3.22mm Glass & Backsheet Vertex Modules
Introducing Trina Solar’s hail-and-wind resistant Vertex PV modules with 3.22mm glass and backsheet with the n-type TOPCon advanced technology trusted most by the solar industry.
The 3.22mm glass and backsheet Vertex N delivers up to 620W power output and up to 23% efficiency for C&I and utility-scale solar applications. For residential PV systems, there’s the sleek, all-black Vertex S+ with 430W maximum power output and up to 21.5% efficiency.
The modules’ innovative design provides the most value possible for customers in several key areas.
Thicker glass and added backsheet offers more protection to significantly reduce the expected average annual loss (AAL) from hail damage over the system’s lifetime for replaced modules, added labor costs, truck rolls, etc.
Independent testing confirmed the 3.22mm glass and backsheet Vertex N modules showed no defects in tests with hailstone sizes and tracker stow angles of 45mm at 0deg, 55mm at 50deg, and 65mm at 60deg. Additionally, the 3.2mm glass and backsheet modules are more robust than standard 2/2mm modules, allowing for higher design pressures that better withstand wind and snow loads without overbuilt racking.
At the same time, Trina kept the module design lighter than 2/2mm modules for additional logistics and shipping benefits, making life easier for installers and keeping labor costs low.
Hail risks aren’t going away, but Trina is here to stay and aims to ensure your modules are, too. Just another reason Trina Solar is your trusted partner for total solar solutions.
