Trinasolar has introduced the world’s first industrial-grade solar photovoltaic (PV) module with a peak power output surpassing 800W. This new 3.1m² module, made with 210mmx105mm perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells, has reached a certified power output of 808W, verified by TÜV SÜD, a global leader in testing and certification.

Gao Jifan, Chairman and CEO of Trinasolar, called the development a groundbreaking achievement for perovskite/silicon tandem modules, marking a major milestone in photovoltaic technology. “This 808W perovskite/silicon tandem module, designed with an industrial-standard size of 210mm, represents a significant step toward mass adoption of tandem modules,” he explained. “It also reinforces Trinasolar’s position at the forefront of PV innovation.”

As the efficiency of traditional silicon-based solar cells approaches its theoretical limit, the spotlight is turning to tandem cell technology. Perovskite tandem cells, capable of reaching efficiencies of up to 43%, offer a promising solution to surpass these limitations. The success of perovskite/silicon tandem technology is poised to redefine the solar industry, marking the transition from silicon-based solar cells to a new era of more efficient, sustainable energy production.

Trinasolar has been investing heavily in research and development over the past decade, becoming a pioneer in perovskite tandem technology. Collaborating with leading universities, including Nanjing University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Trinasolar has led numerous national research initiatives.

The company has filed over 330 patents related to tandem technology and has made significant strides in improving conversion efficiency through innovations in perovskite bulk doping, interface engineering, and composite layer design. With its continued focus on “Solar Energy for All,” Trinasolar is committed to driving the global energy transition, advancing technological breakthroughs, and contributing to a sustainable, net-zero future.
