Product Description
The Trina Solar Vertex TSM-DEG18MC.20(II) 480W-505W Bifacial Dual Glass Solar Panel is a high-performance monocrystalline photovoltaic module designed for utility-scale, commercial, and industrial solar applications.
Featuring advanced 210mm large-area silicon wafer technology, 1/3-cut cell design, multi-busbar (MBB) technology, and high-density interconnection technology, this Vertex series module delivers up to 505W power output and 21.0% module efficiency, maximizing energy generation while reducing overall system costs.
The module adopts a bifacial dual glass structure, allowing both the front and rear sides to capture sunlight and generate additional electricity. With a rear-side power gain capability, the module can achieve higher energy yield compared with traditional single-sided solar panels, especially in installations with reflective surfaces such as ground-mounted solar farms, commercial rooftops, and solar carports.
Designed with excellent durability and reliability, the Trina Vertex DEG18MC.20(II) solar module provides strong resistance against harsh environmental conditions, including high temperature, humidity, salt mist, and potential induced degradation (PID), making it suitable for long-term photovoltaic projects.
