TrinaTracker Vanguard Series Achieves Carbon Footprint Certification

TrinaTracker Vanguard Series Receives Carbon Footprint Certification

In a significant step towards sustainability, TrinaTracker, a notable provider of intelligent solar tracking solutions under Trinasolar, has announced that its Vanguard series has been granted Product Carbon Footprint Certification. The Vanguard 2P tracker has successfully met the required standards, and the Vanguard 1P has achieved Product Carbon Footprint Reduction Verification from the reputable Bureau Veritas.

This latest certification assures customers and the industry that TrinaTracker is committed to lowering greenhouse gas emissions throughout the lifecycle of their products. The assessment process for the Vanguard 2P tracker was based on the ISO 14067:2018 standard, which evaluates the environmental impact from the inception of materials to the final product delivery. This thorough evaluation process highlights TrinaTracker's dedication to minimizing its carbon footprint, demonstrating proactive measures including:

1. Materials: The company incorporates low-carbon steel and sustainable materials in its design and manufacturing processes.
2. Logistics Optimization: By improving logistics practices and utilizing rail and sea freight methods, TrinaTracker has successfully shortened transportation distances, further reducing emissions.
3. Green Energy: The implementation of energy-efficient manufacturing processes powered by green electricity stands as a testament to their eco-friendly approach.
4. Improved Delivery Efficiency: Enhanced routing and load efficiency have contributed to lowered delivery emissions.

Earlier this year, the Vanguard 1P tracker also earned its Certification, marking a notable achievement by reporting over a 10% reduction in cradle-to-gate greenhouse gas emissions in just one year, thanks to ongoing enhancements in design and production techniques. This serves as a clear indicator of TrinaTracker's commitment to continuously improving their sustainability initiatives in response to tighter carbon regulations, especially in markets like Europe and Latin America.

With both Vanguard 1P and 2P trackers certified, the entire Vanguard series is now positioned to offer transparent carbon footprint data that complies with international norms. This milestone aligns with TrinaTracker's mission to embed carbon reduction strategies throughout the entire value chain, which is essential for supporting the shift towards a net-zero economy.

Trinasolar's overarching sustainability framework is robust, as it participates in the United Nations Global Compact, actively engaging in the development of the SOLAR sustainability management concept that embodies Sustainability, Optimization, Leading, Action, and Responsibility. The company has also ensured that its full range of Vertex N modules come with carbon footprint certifications from independent institutions. Its Elementa 2 product has earned complete lifecycle EPD certification alongside Life Cycle Assessment certification, while various production facilities have been recognized as Green Factories, bolstered by over 40 energy-saving initiatives.

Looking forward, TrinaTracker is determined to further collaborate with partners to enhance carbon reduction efforts across the photovoltaic (PV) value chain. Through these sustainable strategies, TrinaTracker aims to equip customers around the globe with reliable and environmentally-friendly solar solutions that contribute meaningfully to combating climate change.
