At the Key Energy Expo in Rimini, the Chinese giant Trinasolar made a big splash by unveiling its new generation of solar panels. Based on cutting-edge n-type i-TOPCon Ultra technology, this range is divided into two segments: high-performance residential and XXL industrial infrastructure.

1. Vertex S+ range: Efficiency at the service of individuals

Designed for residential and commercial roofs, these three models prioritize durability and aesthetics without sacrificing power.

1. The Standard (NEG9RP.28Z): A monster of efficiency with 485 Wp and an efficiency of 24.3% . Its strength? An extremely low annual degradation of 0.35% .
2. The Full Black (NEG9R.25Z): For those who take care with their facade, this all-black model displays 480 Wp and 24% efficiency.
3. The Shield (NED9R.28Z): A "shielded" panel designed to withstand severe hailstorms, while maintaining a power output of 485 Wp .

2. The giant of power plants: 760 Wp on the meter

The real star of the announcement is the NEG21C.20Q model. Designed for ground-mounted and industrial rooftop power plants, it shatters the previous record (held by Akcome with 730 Wp) by reaching a phenomenal power output of 760 Wp .

Model	Power	Yield	Target use
NEG21C.20Q	760 Wc	24.5%	Large power plants
NEG19RC.20Q	670 Wc	24.8%	Optimized for trackers

Note: These industrial models benefit from an extended performance guarantee of 30 years , compared to 25 years for the domestic range.

Horizon 2026: The European market in sight

Scheduled for commercial launch in Europe in the second half of 2026 , these modules will need to translate their technical prowess into commercial success. While the power output may be sufficient, the determining factor will remain the impact of these technologies on the overall cost of ownership (LCOE).
