Trinasolar, a leading provider of solar equipment, has made a significant impact in South Africa by supplying over 1 gigawatt of solar equipment in the past year. The company is once again showcasing its commitment to Africa’s clean energy journey at the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) in Cape Town. With a focus on next-generation solar and battery storage solutions, Trinasolar aims to address the continent’s energy challenges and promote a transition to a more sustainable future.
Vincent Wu, Global Sales Vice President and MEA MU Head at Trinasolar, emphasized the company’s dedication to delivering real solutions that ensure long-term energy security in the face of the energy crisis and climate volatility in South Africa and beyond. Trinasolar’s high-efficiency PV modules and advanced energy storage systems are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, harsh environments, and evolving grid demands across Africa.
A highlight of Trinasolar’s showcase at AEF is the launch of the Vertex N 630W (NED19RC.20), a durable solar module tailored for Africa’s diverse and unpredictable conditions. The module features a reinforced mechanical design, anti-dust and corrosion-resistant components, and a record-breaking 55 mm hail resistance rating, exceeding industry standards. With a maximum power output of 630W and up to 23.3% efficiency, the Vertex N 630W is certified for fire safety and built to perform in challenging environments rich in salt, ammonia, and sand.
Zaheer Khan, Regional Director for South Africa at Trinasolar MEA, highlighted the momentum in the commercial, industrial, and utility-scale sectors in the region. Installers and partners are drawn to solutions like the Vertex N 630W for its performance and ability to address operational challenges in tough environments.
Trinasolar’s commitment to Africa is reflected in its growing portfolio of solar modules, smart tracker systems, energy storage solutions, and floating PV technologies. With a local presence in Johannesburg and Cape Town, as well as warehouse facilities in Durban for quick nationwide delivery, Trinasolar supports rapid deployment of its solutions across the region. The company’s expanding footprint includes engagement in strategic markets such as Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco.
Over the past decade, Trinasolar has played a significant role in shaping South Africa’s solar market, driving utility-scale projects, supporting C&I growth, and contributing to the country’s transition to clean energy. As Africa’s energy transition accelerates, Trinasolar remains focused on scaling integrated systems, expanding local operations, and collaborating with stakeholders to ensure long-term energy resilience.
