TrinaTracker Vanguard Series: A Step Toward Sustainability

In a significant milestone for solar tracking technology, TrinaTracker, a subsidiary of Trinasolar, proudly announces that its entire Vanguard product line has received certification for its carbon footprint. This achievement was granted by Bureau Veritas, a globally recognized testing and certification organization.

The comprehensive evaluation confirms that both the Vanguard 2P and Vanguard 1P solar trackers adhere to international standards regarding environmental impact. Specifically, the Vanguard 2P tracker has met Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) certification under ISO 14067:2018, covering the entire lifecycle—from the sourcing and transportation of raw materials to manufacturing and final delivery. This rigorous process highlights TrinaTracker's commitment to environmentally conscious practices.

Key Initiatives for Carbon Footprint Reduction

The certification assessment revealed several initiatives that TrinaTracker implemented to curtail its carbon emissions:

• - Low Carbon Steel Use: Incorporating low carbon steel and other environmentally friendly materials in the product's design and production process.
• - Optimized Logistics: Enhancing logistics by decreasing transportation distances and embracing rail and maritime freight options.
• - Green Electricity: Utilizing renewable energy sources and energy-efficient manufacturing methods.
• - Improved Delivery Efficiency: Reducing emissions linked to product deliveries through optimized routing and efficient loading techniques.

Notably, the Vanguard 1P tracker had previously achieved PCF certification earlier this year. Bureau Veritas validated that this model led to a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of over 10% from the cradle to its exit from the factory within just one year. This reduction can be attributed to refined designs and enhanced manufacturing processes, underscoring TrinaTracker's ongoing commitment to minimizing the carbon footprint of its products.

Meeting Global Carbon Regulations

With the successful PCF certification of both Vanguard models, the series now offers transparent and credible data on carbon footprints, aligning with global standards. These certifications reflect TrinaTracker's dedication to integrating carbon emission reduction strategies throughout the supply chain—from sourcing materials to logistics—ultimately facilitating the global transition to net-zero emissions.

This achievement aligns seamlessly with Trinasolar's sustainability strategy. As a participant in the UN Global Compact, Trinasolar has developed a sustainability management concept known as SOLAR, focusing on sustainability, optimization, leadership, action, and responsibility. Furthermore, the Vertex N series modules from Trinasolar have also been certified for their carbon footprints by independent institutions. Initiatives like the Elementa 2 model achieving EPD certification, alongside multiple production facilities recognized as “green factories,” showcase an ongoing commitment to sustainability with the backing of over 40 energy-saving projects.

Future Initiatives

Looking ahead, TrinaTracker is devoted to collaborating closely with its partners to drive further reductions in carbon emissions across the photovoltaic value chain. By offering sustainable solutions, TrinaTracker empowers clients worldwide to take action in their carbon management strategies. As the demand for environmentally responsible products grows, TrinaTracker aims to be at the forefront of innovation in solar tracking technology to support a sustainable future.

In conclusion, the Vanguard series certifications not only exemplify TrinaTracker's dedication to reducing its environmental impact, but they also position the company as a key player in the global movement toward sustainability in renewable energy. The journey does not end here; it is only the beginning of a proactive approach to creating a greener tomorrow.
