Trinasolar Vertex N Shield Module Achieves TÜV Rheinland's Comprehensive Reliability Award

At the 11th TÜV Rheinland Solar & ESS Congress, Trinasolar proudly announced that its Vertex N Shield module has received the prestigious Comprehensive Reliability Award, underscoring its exceptional quality and dependability in the rapidly evolving field of solar technology. This recognition emphasizes Trinasolar’s commitment to providing reliable solar solutions that stand the test of time.

The award was determined based on rigorous assessments across five critical parameters: temperature changes, mechanical load, dynamic stress, UV exposure, and moisture-induced freezing. The Vertex N Shield module outperformed its competitors with an impressive score of 94, securing the top position in all evaluated areas. This accolade reaffirms the module's long-term reliability, distinguishing it from competing products in the market.

According to Lei Gao, the Director of Global Solar Cell and Solar Product Management at Trinasolar, “It has been ten years since Trinasolar began enhancing its TOPCon technology. Receiving the Comprehensive Reliability Award for our TOPCon module in 2025 is a significant acknowledgment for us. Trinasolar will continue to provide reliable products and solutions for our customers.”

Advanced Technology and Design

The Vertex N Shield module is equipped with Trinasolar's cutting-edge i-TOPCon technology, which enhances its performance and durability. Notably, the glass used in this module is 25% thicker than that of conventional modules, providing a substantially greater impact resistance—up to 2.5 times greater. This durability is also recognized by the Renewable Energy Testing Center (RETC), which certifies that it can withstand hailstones up to 75mm at a 60-degree angle during severe storms.

The innovative design of the module's frame contributes significantly to its enhanced load-bearing capability, further improving stability and reliability, which is crucial for protecting the entire PV plant system. Prior to this award, the Vertex N Shield module's high reliability was acknowledged in June when it secured the “High Achiever” title in various categories—TC600, DH2000, SDML, and PID—from RETC, highlighting its outstanding performance.

The Shield Extreme Climate Solution

As the flagship product within Trinasolar’s TOPCon module line, the Vertex N Shield module serves as an integral component of the Shield Extreme Climate Solution, launched in March 2025. This innovative solution marks a new era of scenario-based responses designed to address extreme weather conditions. In addition to the TOPCon modules, it features a smart tracking system that implements intelligent protective measures for photovoltaic installations, ensuring a stable operation of the entire system.

Furthermore, the Shield solution not only promises increased returns but also significantly lowers Balance of System (BOS) costs and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), making solar energy more accessible and cost-effective.

Global Leadership Goals

Trinasolar's mission is to emerge as a global leader in intelligent photovoltaic and energy storage solutions, offering tailored responses suitable for diverse scenarios, including desert and offshore regions. This dedication has earned Trinasolar widespread recognition in the industry. The company has maintained its Tier-1 status in Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) for both modules and storage, recently joining the inaugural list of Tier-1 companies for photovoltaic modules and energy storage systems by S&P Global Commodity Insights.

In conclusion, the recognition awarded at the TÜV Rheinland Congress highlights the Vertex N Shield module as a benchmark in solar technology, establishing its credibility and reinforcing Trinasolar’s commitment to advancing reliable solar solutions. By continuously innovating and investing in high-quality products, Trinasolar aims to lead the industry towards a sustainable energy future.
