We recently launched the Rooftop Portfolio: a comprehensive range of next generation modules designed for the variety of rooftops across Europe. Spanning residential, commercial and industrial applications, these modules are engineered with robust dual-glass and n type i-TOPCon technology for more power and ease of installation. Suited to diverse uses and designs, these versatile modules offer performance and reliability backed by industry-leading warranties. Here are some key insights based on common questions from industry professionals in our recent Rooftop Portfolio webinar.

1. What is the Rooftop Portfolio?

Our latest range of reliable, efficient and powerful modules designed for diverse rooftop requirements across Europe.

• Vertex S+ (NEG9R.28): A lightweight, next generation residential and C&I panel with up to 455 W max power
• Vertex S+ Clear Black (NEG9RC.27): Bifacial with 445 W max power, this black and transparent panel is efficient and versatile across applications
• Vertex S+ Full Black (NEGR.25): Optimised for homeowners, this premium all-black panel is a stylish rooftop solution with 450 W max power
• Vertex S+ 500 W+ (NEG18R.28): With 505 W max power and low voltage,  this mid-sized panel provides serious efficiency for C&I projects

• Quality assured: Rigorous quality controls ensure the best product performance, backed by a 30 year power warranty and 25 year product warranty 

3. Can the Rooftop Portfolio withstand severe weather conditions?

The Rooftop Portfolio has dual-glass technology for superior durability in harsh weather. With its ultra-thin (1.6 mm) dual-glass design, the modules resist environmental factors like salt spray, acids and alkalis, while also providing robust protection against shock, vibration and moisture. This construction enhances the ability to handle high mechanical loads, such as strong winds and heavy snow, minimising deformation and performance loss. Dual-glass technology significantly reduces degradation compared to traditional glass backsheet modules, offering enhanced long-term reliability and sustained performance in demanding conditions.

4. Why is the Vertex S+ 500 W+ ideal for C&I installations?

The Vertex S+ 500 W+ combines high performance with easy installation, helping you save materials and time on your C&I installation. The module delivers 505 W max power with a low voltage design, allowing more modules per string. This reduces the number of strings needed, leading to savings on materials like DC cables, clamps, and rails. The module’s optimised dimensions (1961 x 1134 x 30 mm) and lightweight design (23.5 kg) make handling and installation quicker and easier.  Additionally, its lighter weight lessens the strain on mounting systems, making it a practical choice for rooftops where space and load conditions are constrained. These features make the Vertex S+ 500 W+ a cost-effective solution that supports easy installation, high power and a faster return on investment.

5. How does Trinasolar ensure sustainability and supply chain traceability?

Trinasolar ensures sustainability and supply chain traceability through several key measures. We have implemented robust systems to trace materials throughout the entire production process, from raw materials like polysilicon to the final module. Our Rooftop Portfolio is manufactured in our zero-carbon certified factory in Yiwu, China. All our modules carry several certifications, including the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) certificate from TUV Rheinland in Germany, the Carbon Footprint Certification from UL Solutions, and the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certified by TUV Rheinland and EPD Norway. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to strict standards throughout the product life cycle.

6. How does Trinasolar support customers in Europe?

At Trinasolar, we pride ourselves on combining global insight with local support. Our European headquarters are located in Zurich, with major offices in Munich and Madrid. Across Europe, we have a total of 11 regional offices and over 300 local employees. Our teams provide comprehensive technical support, after-sales services and assistance in local languages, ensuring that customers throughout Europe receive the help they need effectively and efficiently.

Dual-glass photovoltaic module technology, including the innovative 1.6mm dual-glass configuration for rooftops, is rapidly emerging as a top choice in the solar market, particularly for its enhanced performance in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. To help you better understand this technology, we’ve developed a comprehensive whitepaper.
