The agreement will cater to the country’s increasing energy needs by supplying Trina Solar’s latest n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N PV modules based on 210mm technology, ensuring high reliability and solid performance for partners.
Trina Solar will supply Al-Raebi with 100 MW of its n-type i-TOPCon cell technology modules in 2023, with the advanced technology of i-TOPCon cells and 210mm module technology.
Cell efficiency and module power of the Vertex N series have been comprehensively upgraded, bringing module efficiency to as high as 22.4% and power reaching 605W and 695W for residential, C&I PV applications, and utility settings, it added.
Antonio Jimenez, Managing Director and Vice President, Middle East, at Trina Solar, expressed his pride in delivering the power, efficiency, and reliability needed to accelerate the adoption of clean energy in the Yemeni market.
"Trina Solar is proud to see more solar projects implemented in the region through its authorised distributor, Al-Raebi, and cater to the rapidly-growing demand for solar energy in generating power for residential, commercial, and industrial needs, in addition to farming and agriculture," said Jimenez.
Abdullah M. Raebi, the General Manager of Al-Raebi, said that more than 70% of homes in Yemen now use solar energy as their main source of electricity. He also said that solar energy is a key part of getting groundwater for irrigation out of the ground and bringing it to the surface.The partnership between Trina Solar and Al-Raebi demonstrates their commitment to delivering the most advanced solar technology to address current and future market demand.
Last year, Trina Solar and Al-Raebi signed a deal to supply 40 MW of n-type Vertex modules to cater to the growing demand for solar energy in the Yemeni market, as mentioned in the report.
With the tremendous success that these modules have demonstrated, the new 500 MW deal comes as a strong testament and a clear indication of the excellent value that these modules are providing to users in Yemen.
In the n-type era, 210-mm technology and n-type i-TOPCon cell technology will work together by combining strengths to highlight the lower LCOE-oriented principle.
Trina Solar says it will keep being the market leader and meet the growing need for high-performance PV modules on the market.
The partnership between Trina Solar and Al-Raebi is a big step towards meeting Yemen's energy needs. Yemen has been having trouble keeping up with the growing demand for electricity, so this is a big deal.
The deployment of solar energy solutions will help alleviate the energy crisis and provide reliable and sustainable energy to households, businesses, and industries.
