Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Solar · Country: New Zealand · Announced: 2026-06-22
Trina Solar secured a commercial order from a global distributed energy customer for its tandem perovskite/crystalline silicon solar PV modules, marking one of the first large-scale commercial deployments of perovskite-based solar technology. The order includes delivery of modules for a project in New Zealand, where the customer plans to deploy the high-efficiency panels in a distributed solar installation. Tandem perovskite modules offer higher efficiency and improved performance under low-light conditions compared to conventional silicon modules, addressing key challenges in distributed solar applications. The deal represents a milestone for Trina Solar's commercialization of perovskite technology, which has been under development for several years. Financial terms and project capacity were not disclosed.
