With this, Trina Solar is the first major solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer in China to win this honor.
Recently, the Red Dot Design Award 2022 was officially announced in Germany. The Red Dot Design Award is top of the world’s most professional and authoritative design awards, known as the “Oscar of Industrial Design” along with Germany’s iF Design Award and the US’s IDEA. As the star product of Trina Solar’s global module portfolio for distributed solar PV systems on roofs, Vertex S combines high power, high capacity, and high reliability. It has been unanimously praised by the global distributed module market and professionals, and favored by distributors and customers around the world. Thanks to the advanced design and outstanding craftsmanship, it perfectly meets the high standards of the Red Dot Design Award from product function to appearance design.
Trina Solar’s Vertex S series modules feature innovative and design-inspired aesthetics along with excellent product performance. Vertex S comes with several design options, including the all-black appearance, to match different architectural styles and application scenarios. This gives more possibilities for distributed rooftop spaces, while keeping the commitment to environmental protection.
For the Vertex S all-black module, Trina’s designers decided to use black as the dominant color after thorough market research and creative discussion at the early stage of design. The module adopts black cells with ultra-fine busbars, together with the fine layout of the black frame and back sheet, black label and string busbars, making the whole product visually appealing. The unique and outstanding aesthetic effect of the all-black design carries a simple and advanced temperament, highlighting the beauty of modern craftsmanship.
