At SNEC 2025, Trinasolar’s Vertex N series modules stood out, earning multiple reliability awards from leading third-party testing organizations, including Kiwa PVEL, RETC, TÜV Rheinland, and TÜV Nord. These accolades reaffirm Trinasolar’s unwavering dedication to superior product quality and customer value.
Trinasolar has once again been recognized as a “Top Performer” in nearly every category among global PV module manufacturers in the 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, published by Kiwa PV Evolution Labs (Kiwa PVEL). This achievement marks the 11th consecutive year that Trinasolar modules have won the prestigious “Top Performer” title.
“Congratulations to Trinasolar for being named a Top Performer for the 11th year,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kiwa PVEL. “The consistency of Trinasolar’s performance across our Scorecards, year after year, showcases the company’s ability to continuously meet evolving industry standards and reliability expectations.”
Trinasolar has claimed the prestigious “Overall Highest Achiever” by RETC, marking the company’s fifth consecutive win and reinforcing its leadership. The Vertex N Shield modules excelled in HDT, which exposes modules to 55-mm diameter hail impacts, followed by 50 thermal cycles and hot-spot endurance testing. As a part of Trinasolar’s Shield extreme climate solution, this module's glass is 25% thicker, and its resistance to energy impact is 2.5 times greater than that of conventional modules. In severe hailstorms, the Shield solution can withstand 75mm hail at a 60° angle, showcasing industry-leading stability and reliability under extreme weather conditions.
Cherif Kedir, CEO and President of RETC, congratulates Trinasolar on this remarkable achievement. “Trina’s high-efficiency, high-power modules performed exceptionally well in our tests. Among all the manufacturers we evaluated, only 12 are qualified, and Trinasolar has consistently qualified for five consecutive years, which is truly impressive.”
Trinasolar’s large and medium-format Vertex N modules have successfully passed the extended stress tests under IEC TS 63209-1 by both TÜV Rheinland and TÜV NORD. This certification validates Trinasolar modules’ long-term stability and high performance.
Gao Lei, Head of Global Product Management at Trinasolar, said, “Reliability is the cornerstone of long-term value and customer trust. We’re honored to receive multiple reliability awards, which reflect our strong product quality and industry-leading innovation. Trinasolar will continue to deliver high-performance, reliable products that create lasting value.”
