Trinasolar's Vertex N Shield Module Shines with Comprehensive Reliability Award

In a significant recognition of its quality and reliability, Trinasolar announced that its Vertex N Shield module has received the prestigious Comprehensive Reliability Award from TÜV Rheinland during the 11th Solar Congress and ESS event titled 'All Quality Matters' held in 2025. This accolade highlights Trinasolar's ongoing commitment to manufacturing high-performance photovoltaic (PV) modules.

The Vertex N Shield module stood out among numerous competitors, achieving an impressive reliability score of 94 in TÜV Rheinland’s evaluation, which assessed five critical dimensions: thermal cycling, mechanical load and dynamic stress, UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles, damp heat, and potential-induced degradation (PID). This performance not only secured the module’s top position but also reaffirmed its long-term reliability, a crucial factor for the sustainability of solar power installations.

Lei Gao, the Global Director of Cell and Solar Product Management at Trinasolar, stated, “It’s been ten years since we began developing TOPCon technology in 2015. Receiving the Comprehensive Reliability Award for our TOPCon module is a tremendous honor for us. Trinasolar is dedicated to delivering even more reliable products and solutions to our customers.”

Advanced Technology and Design

The Vertex N Shield module employs Trinasolar’s cutting-edge i-TOPCon technology, featuring glass that is 25% thicker than traditional modules and boasts an impact resistance that is 2.5 times greater. It has been specifically tested to withstand hailstones of up to 75mm at a 60-degree angle, certified by the Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC). Furthermore, the innovative design of the module's frame enhances load-carrying capacity, improving both stability and reliability, which, in turn, helps protect the assets of solar power plants.

Before receiving this award, the Vertex N Shield module's high reliability had already been validated by RETC in June, where it earned the title of 'High Achiever' across multiple categories including TC600, DH2000, SDML, and PID. This recognition further cements the module's reputation for unparalleled performance in extreme conditions.

A Cornerstone of Extreme Climate Solutions

As a flagship product of Trinasolar's TOPCon range, the Vertex N Shield serves as a critical component in the company’s extreme climate solution, launched in March 2025. This solution is at the forefront of a new era focusing on scenario-based solutions for solar power systems.

In addition to the TOPCon modules, the extreme climate solution encompasses an intelligent tracking system that implements smart protection measures for solar plants, ensuring stable operations across the entire system. This comprehensive approach is designed to not only increase revenue but also reduce both the Balance of System (BOS) costs and the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

A Leader in Smart Energy Solutions

Trinasolar is firmly committed to leading the global smart photovoltaic energy solutions and energy storage market, providing tailored solutions to diverse scenarios, including desert and marine environments. The company has garnered wide recognition, maintaining its Tier 1 certification from BNEF for both modules and storage. Recently, Trinasolar was also included on SP Global Commodity Insights' list of Tier 1 companies for photovoltaic modules and energy storage systems.

In summary, the Vertex N Shield module's accolade from TÜV Rheinland signifies not only Trinasolar's dedication to quality and reliability in the solar industry but also its continuous innovation role in providing sustainable solutions. As the demand for solar power solutions grows worldwide, Trinasolar is poised to remain at the forefront, ensuring reliability and performance in every product it offers.
