Trina Solar, a leading global PV and smart energy total solution provider, announced its successful delivery of 800 MW of 210 mm Vertex modules to China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC) for the Al Dhafra PV Power Plant project
The 2 GW Al Dhafra solar PV plant, located in Abu Dhabi, is set to become one of the largest single-site solar power plants worldwide. The plant has connected to grid in April of this year.
Situated approximately 35 km from Abu Dhabi city, the Al Dhafra PV Power Plant boasts a capacity to generate enough electricity to power approximately 160,000 homes across the UAE, thanks to its deployment of approximately 3.5 million solar panels. Moreover, the project will play a significant role in mitigating carbon emissions, reducing approximately 2.4 million tons of carbon dioxide annually.
Gonzalo de la Vina, president EMEA, Trina Solar, stated, "We are thrilled to have successfully supplied 800 MW of our cutting-edge 210 mm Vertex modules to the remarkable Al Dhafra PV Power Plant project in Abu Dhabi. This collaboration showcases Trina Solar's commitment to delivering high-power, high-efficiency, and reliable solar solutions that can thrive even in the most extreme environmental conditions. The Al Dhafra project's significant capacity and contribution to carbon reduction exemplify the transformative impact of solar energy.”
Trina Solar's 210 mm Vertex modules are characterised by four key features that unlock a low levelised cost of energy (LCOE): high power, high efficiency, high energy yield, and high reliability. Notably, these modules have demonstrated exceptional performance in extreme environments. Rigorous testing conducted by TÜV Rheinland on Trina Solar's 210 mm Vertex 600W+ modules in Saudi Arabia, which shares a similar climate to the Al Dhafra region, showcased their outstanding photovoltaic conversion efficiency and their ability to maintain optimal performance even in high-temperature scenarios.
According to TrendForce, as of the first quarter of this year, the cumulative shipments of 210 mm modules in the industry have surpassed 120GW, with Trina Solar leading the global market with a market share of over 50%, accounting for 65GW of shipments. Moving forward, Trina Solar remains dedicated to its mission of "Solar Energy for All," committed to making significant contributions through its exceptional products, technological innovation, and stable financial performance.
