Trinasolar and Polytechnic University of Madrid Strengthen Partnership with New Demo Center

Trinasolar, a global leader in smart solar and storage solutions, and the Solar Energy Institute of the Polytechnic University of Madrid have officially opened their joint Demo Center located on the university's campus in the Spanish capital. The inauguration, held on June 18, marks a significant milestone in the strategic alliance initiated in early 2024 between the two institutions.

The Demo Center is designed not merely as a showcase for cutting-edge technology but as a hub for innovation, knowledge exchange, and long-term collaboration. It will serve as both a real-world testing ground for emerging solar technologies and a collaborative space for joint R&D, training, and open innovation in the renewable energy sector.

Visitors to the Demo Center will have the opportunity to explore the performance of Trinasolar's Vertex N series solar modules, alongside their comprehensive range of solar mounting solutions, including Vanguard 1P and 2P trackers, as well as the FixOrigin fixed tilt structure.

"This Demo Center represents a bridge between innovation and collaboration," said Gonzalo de la Viña, President of Trinasolar Europe. "It allows us to showcase the quality and performance of our latest technologies to our European partners while deepening our joint efforts with one of Europe’s leading solar research institutions."

Ignacio Antón Hernandez, Director of the Solar Institute, emphasized the significant opportunities this partnership will create for students and researchers. "Having access to such advanced technologies on campus opens up great opportunities for our students, researchers, and collaborative projects. It is a living laboratory and also a connection point with the industry," he explained.

The opening was attended by representatives from academia, industry, and the renewable energy sector, reinforcing Trinasolar's broader commitment to support the global energy transition through local partnerships. In addition to the Madrid facility, Trinasolar has recently inaugurated another Demo Center in São Paulo, Brazil, in collaboration with Facens University. This initiative is part of a growing global network of partnerships with academic institutions aimed at fostering talent development, research, and innovation in solar energy worldwide.

The establishment of the Demo Center in Madrid not only highlights the commitment of both Trinasolar and the Polytechnic University of Madrid to advance solar technology but also serves to inspire future generations of engineers and researchers. By working together, they aim to create innovative solutions that can significantly contribute to a sustainable energy future.

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable energy sources, initiatives like this one are critical. They provide essential resources and knowledge to push the boundaries of what is possible in solar energy technology and application. The collaboration at the Demo Center is a stellar example of how academia and industry can work hand-in-hand to create a brighter, greener future.

With the foundation of this Demo Center, both Trinasolar and the Polytechnic University of Madrid look forward to a future filled with innovation, research, and breakthroughs in renewable energy that could pave the way for sustainable technological advancements worldwide.
