 1.N-type technology background

The last eight years have been the warmest on record, making every heatwave more
intense and life-threatening, especially for vulnerable populations.
——Statement by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization at the Opening Ceremony of COP27.

There is a rare global consensus among countries to address climate change, reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.
To this end, energy transformation, the realization of a high proportion of renewable energy structure has become the world trend!
Constructing new power system with new energy as the main part has become the direction of our energy transformation.

Photovoltaic is the core force of the new energy industry, and the pursuit of power station owners for the return on investment of
photovoltaic power generation and the reduction of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is the constant theme of the development of
the photovoltaic industry. The traditional P-type module development has reached the extreme due to the process cost reduction Figure 2: Trina Solar Vertex modules exhibition

system and improve the power generation and reliability of the modules. Based on the "Four-high & One-low Idea" 210 product

 2.Trina Solar N type i-TOPCon core technology

The efficiency of P-type solar cells is approaching the upper limit of theoretical conversion efficiency year by year. It is imperative to
develop the next generation of high-efficiency solar cells. However, only with sufficient technology accumulation, can technology
leadership be achieved and the most valuable products be provided to customers.
Relying on years of high efficiency solar cell research and development experience of Trina Solar State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic
Science and Technology (PVST), Trina Solar has completed the development of independent N-type i-TOPCon technology, and led the
way in the industrialization of N type module products. In 2018, Trina Solar was selected as the “Top Runner program” Super Technolo-
gy Leader Demonstration project. It takes the lead in achieve the industrialization of N-type i-TOPCon solar cell in the industry. The
project "Key Technology and Application of High Efficiency and Low cost crystalline silicon solar cell interface Manufacturing" applied by
Trina Solar also won the second prize of the national technological invention award in 2020. Trina Solar has built up a solid foundation
and launched 210+N type full scene solution in 2022. The new generation of N type i-TOPCon modules has been fully mass-produced.

Figure 6: Display of some patents of Trina

Trina Solar technology development team made continuous efforts to the combination with advanced i-TOPCon solar cell technology
on the basis of 210N silicon wafers, overcome the technical problems of selective boron emitter, large area tunneling silicon oxide and
doped polycrystalline silicon preparation, high efficiency hydrogen passivation technology, and adopt mass-produced solar cell
equipment. On the 210mm * 210mm size large area N-type monocrystalline silicon substrate with high minority carrier life, it has
broken the efficiency record of N-type cells for many times. In 2022, Trina Solar State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and
Technology (PVST) announced that its self-developed 210mm*210mm size high-efficiency i-TOPCon solar cell has been tested and
certified by the third party of the Chinese Metrology Academy of Sciences. The highest cell efficiency reached 25.5%, which created a

The "numerator" in the division formula is the initial investment. In addition to the price of the module itself, the crucial point is the cost
of the system. Module quality, module power and design reasonability are of great significance to the reduction of the system cost.

3.4 NEG21C.20 – Ground-mounted N type product
Power Station "The Star of LCOE”
Vertex N type 695W module is significantly increased 70W more power than the market similar general N type modules and efficiency
is up to 22.4% which is Perfect for all kinds of large utility stations. The Vertex N 695W is "the star of LCOE" for utility stations.
Ultra-low degradation ensures the power generation of the whole life cycle, optimizes the bificiality performance to bring higher 4.1 Tongchuan 250MW “Top Runner”
returns, ultra-low operating temperature coefficient makes the power generation more secure, and the innovative low voltage and technology leader project
high power design achieves higher string power and reduces the LCOE to a lower level.
Tongchuan photovoltaic power generation technology Leading base is one
of the first national photovoltaic power generation technology leading
bases, located in Yijun County, Trina Solar contracted to build 250MW,
covers an area of about 638 hectares, using Trina Solar N type bifacial and
dual-glass modules, fully considering the characteristics of local resources
and environment, and strive to maximize power generation benefits. The
project was connected to the grid in June 2019.
