Benefits of the Solar Panel Trina Vertex S + 515W

The range Vertex S + of Trina Solar it is born to solve a very specific problem: offer the reliability of double glass and the efficiency of the technology type N without the weight nor the size of the large format modules. The TSM-515NEG18R.28 he gets it with 515 WP at least 2 meters long and just 23.5 kg, which makes it an excellent option for housing, ships and commercial covers where each kilo per square meter counts.

Double light glass: 23.5 kg

Trina reduces the thickness of both glasses to 1.6 mm, maintaining the protection against moisture, corrosion and microfisters of glass-glass construction. The result is an easier module to upload to cover and that reduces the load on the structure, a decisive factor in ships with light veneer covers.

Efficiency of 23.2% with I-Topcon

Cells type n i-Topcon they allow a 23.2% efficiency, above most solar panels type P. More power per square meter means fewer modules, less structure and less labor for each KWP installed, which shortens the amortization period.

Low voltage design for longer strings

With a 40.9 V and a coefficient of -0.24%/°C, the vertex S + allows you to connect more modules by string that the panels of 60 or 66 higher voltage cells. This is how the maximum entry tension of the inverter and the number of strings and meters of direct current cable is reduced.

Product guarantee of 25 years

Trina offers in this version 25 years of product guarantee and 30 years of power guarantee, with a maximum degradation of 1% the first year and from 0.4% annually. According to the manufacturer, this is a 87.4% of guaranteed power in the year 30, against 84.95% of a conventional module with an annual degradation of 0.45%.

Designed for commercial, industrial and residential covers

Trina presents the Vertex S + as the optimal size for commercial and industrial decks. Its average format allows:

• Reduce the total cost of the system thanks to a faster manipulation and lighter structures.
• Adapt to residential roofs with less cuts than the modules of more than 2 meters.
• Integrate inverters, optimizers and assembly systems of widespread use without special adaptations.
• Offer Flexible Installation Solutions, both in vertical and horizontally, thanks to cables 1300 mm for landscape mounting.

The black frame 30 mm also brings a very valued aesthetic finish in dwellings with dark roofs.

Resistance for demanding environments

The module is certified according to IEC 61701 (corrosion by salina fog) e IEC 62716 (ammonia), so it's suitable for coastal zones and agricultural or livestock ships. Its double glass construction offers a excellent resistance to fire and a good behavior in areas of high temperature and humidity. The iP68 connection box with 3 bypass diodes protects the module against partial shadows and water entry.

Configuration inverters and optimizers

• ISC 15.96 A: check that the short circuit current supported by MPPT inverter or the optimizer covers this value.
• VMPP of 33.9 V: working voltage compatible with most residential and commercial MPPT ranges.
• Maximum Fuse Series 30 A, suitable for configurations with strings in parallel.

Is an ideal combination for inverters hybrid with lithium batteries, as well as for inverters networking in self-consumption with surplus compensation. For assembly, choose some structures for solar panels compatible with its frame 30 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Bifacial Trina Vertex S + TSM-515NEG18R.28?

No. Although it is a module of double glass, the technical sheet does not indicate bifiality or rear gain data. Your advantage is in the durability of glass-glass, the low weight of 23.5 kg and the efficiency of 23.2%. If you are looking for generation by both faces, consult our solar panels bifaciales.

2. How many modules can I connect in series?

With a 40.9 V and a coefficient of -0.24%/°C, at -10 ° C The VOC of each module Round the 44.3 V. By way of manner, you can connect 22 modules by string in a inverter of 1000 V and some 33 in one of 1500 V. The final calculation depends on inverter and the minimum temperature of the site.

3. Can I install it on a sheet cover of a ship?

Yes. With 23.5 kg it is especially suitable for covers with load limitations. Even so, we recommend checking the supporting capacity of the cover and using a suitable sheet structure.

4. What guarantee does it have?

Offers 25 years of product guarantee and 30 years of power guarantee, with a maximum degradation of 1% the first year and from 0.4% annually of the years 2 to 30, up to the 87.4% of the initial power.

5. Is it compatible with optimizers?

Yes. Trina indicates that the Vertex S + is designed to be compatible with inverters, optimizers and assembly systems more widespread. Always check that the power, the tension and the current of the module are within the limits of the optimizer.

6. What connectors do you wear?

The Technical Sheet indicates connectors TS4, TS4 Plus or MC4 EVO2, with the note that some variants are manufactured only on special request. Check with our team the version available in stock
