Trina Solar Launches Innovative i-TOPCon N-Type Solar Cell Manufactured in China, Boasting Impressive 25.8% Conversion Efficiency.

Trina Solar has started commercial production of its new Vertex N 610W solar panel with the i-TOPCon N-type cell at its Huai’na factory in China. The plant has a production capacity of 10 GW for the equipment, along with another 10 GW for the production of N-type TOPCon solar cells. According to Trina Solar, the new product uses 210 mm rectangular silicon wafers and has a conversion efficiency of 25.8%.

The i-TOPCon N-type cell from Trina Solar is still compatible for use with trackers and is aimed at applications in commercial, industrial, and centralized generation plants. The photovoltaic module has dimensions of 2382 mm by 1134 mm, a standard recently adopted together by the leading manufacturers in the solar energy sector, as observed at the SNEC PV Power Expo, a solar industry fair held in Shanghai, China.

According to Trina Solar, this format has several advantages, including better space utilization in shipping containers.

Understand How the New Solar Cell from Trina Works

TOPCon stands for tunnel oxide passivated contact, which means passivated contact with tunnel oxide. The structure of this cell consists of a thin layer of tunnel oxide sandwiched between a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and a p-type crystalline silicon wafer.

The layer acts as a passivator, preventing the recombination of charge carriers on the surface of the solar cell.

Doping is a chemical process that involves the introduction of impurities into a silicon crystal, allowing for better electrical conductivity. This process can result in n-type or p-type semiconductors, depending on the material used. N-type refers to silicon doped with phosphorus or arsenic, while P-type refers to silicon doped with gallium or boron.

Trina Solar Announces New Unit in Brazil

The Trina Tracker, a subsidiary of the Chinese Trina Solar, announced in August the installation of a solar tracker factory in Salvador, Bahia. The equipment is used to enhance the energy generation of solar panels by tracking the sun’s movement during the day.

Brazil is the second country to receive a Trina Solar factory outside of China. The company also has a manufacturing unit in Spain. The new factory in Bahia is expected to become operational in the last quarter of this year.

Initially, the factory will have a capacity to produce 2.5 GW in trackers; however, it may be expanded as demand increases. Thus, the production capacity of the company’s trackers will see a 33% increase, rising from 7.5 to 10 GW annually.

According to Alvaro García-Maltrás, Vice President for Latin America at Trina Solar, in an interview, Bahia is a great hub, an excellent logistical point, and also a location where most large-scale projects in Brazil are being developed, and there is significant interest in the distributed generation market for the implementation of trackers.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Brazil has 8.4 million illiterates and more than half live in the Northeast, where 10.6% of people cannot read or write a simple note, compared to 2.3% in the Southeast, according to the Pnad Contínua Educação 2025 from IBGE.

A black box made of steel and concrete, about 16 meters in size, is being installed in a remote location on Earth to record in real-time the progress of the climate crisis and the potential collapse of the planet, with data from space and meteorological agencies worldwide.

A great economist predicted that by 2030 we would work only 15 hours a week, and John Maynard Keynes’s forecast is about to fail miserably almost 100 years later.
