Ultra-High Power

Vertex S represents a power increase of up to 65Wp (or 17%) compared to its predecessors. Module efficiency has increased when compared to previous generations to more than 21%. Combining Vertex’s innovative 210mm silicon wafers, multi-busbar design, non-destructive cutting and high-density packing means the output power of a module can reach 405Wp and beyond.

Rooftop Advantages

Vertex S is Trina Solar’s most compact 210mm-based model to date and is designed to cover a range of rooftop applications, so one universal product can be stocked to suit a variety of purposes. Module and pallet dimensions have been optimized so a maximum number of modules can be shipped in each container, saving on both haulage and storage costs.

Compact and Versatile

The Vertex S size-to-weight ratio makes the modules easier and safer to load, move and install. For flexibility and ease of use, electrical parameters are kept within the operating limits of standard inverters. The module is designed for compatibility with existing mainstream inverters, optimizers and mounting systems for residential and commercial applications. (hcn)
