Trina pushes forward with another solid reason to choose them as the solar panel for your home. In this Trina solar panels review, we look at the new Trina Vertex S 390w and 400w, which set a new standard in efficiency, and warranty protection. We also review the popular Honeym 370W and other

Trina Vertex 400w
The Trina Vertex-S 390W - 400w Mono Perc solar panel has an impressive 20.3% efficiency rating. This is excellent for a “standard” sized panel. Many higher output panels are physically bigger which accounts for the difference in performance. Improved materials and design have allowed Trina to lift the power output and lessen resistance through the panel.Trina adds 15 years product warranty to these panels too!
How do Trina Vertex S panels give Better Performance and lower energy costs?
The unique Half-Cut cell design lets panels operate at lower temperatures, this in turn raises energy production per watt. The special cell design can also lower energy loss due to inter-row shading. As a result, greater power production capacity can be achieved when combined with multi-busbar technology as well.

Trina HoneyM 370W Review
Advanced cell texturing techniques have enabled Trina Solar, to set a new output record of 20.02% solar cell efficiency – impressive! Trina have through their Honey M product range, set new benchmarks in solar power and efficiency. Thereby challenging their competitors to continually meet them, setting the bar higher each time. For the Trina HoneyM 370w panel review, it’s fair, that for most, this panel will meet all of their rooftop PV needs. This company has grown to be a provider of some of the world's foremost solar solutions. Trina Solar PV products are now popular in well over 60 countries worldwide.
Trina Honey - Visible Quality.
The Trina 370w solar panels is our favourite. Visibly well made, the high quality of these panels is so easy to see. The frame is rigid and also firm. There is precision in the construction of the panel, that we have so much come to expect from Trina.

Why Select Trina Solar Mono Black?
Trina Solar Honey Black cells offer higher power and efficiency with maximum cell efficiency is 20.2%. Combined with the 12-year warranty on Trina Solar products and a 25-year linear energy production guarantee, Honey Black is an investment you can feel good about. The panels are available in grid-connected or standalone applications. You will need an MPPT-capable regulator, or a AC bus system, for the latter. Note: The panels are 35mm thick (unlike some older Trina Solar modules).
The honey M 370W made with MBB - multi-busbar-cells design that reduces current conduction distances by over 50%, thus cutting down on the resistance losses inherent to a taper. With thinner, tighter-grained busbars, more sunlight is bounced back at the circular ribbon, thereby increasing the power efficiency.
he unique circuitry of half-cut cells allows for 1/4 less energy loss compared with full cells, resulting in reduced electrical resistance inside the ribbon, ultimately improving the total module efficiency by over 2%. The design of the half-cut allows modules to operate at lower operating temperatures, which may increase the power generated per watt. Unique string-cell structure allows each cell string to operate independently, significantly reducing power losses from mismatch problems caused by shading between rows
Trina Panels solar Review
More power created with half cell technology.
The Trina Solar Residential panel carries half-cell technology. Solar cells on a solar panel (module) are joined together by “connecting ribbons”. They are the silver lines you see in panels. They are the pathway that let energy flow through the solar cells – the actual panel. Half Cell tech reduces resistance to this flow. Imagine a full-sized solar cell. Then cut it in half. Then connect the two halves in series. Which is end-to-end. So, by doing this, the power loss caused by ribbon resistance drops to 25% of that in a full cell. So, this in turn decreases electrical resistance within the ribbon, to improve overall module efficiency by over 2%.
Better Performance Lowers Cost of Energy
The unique Half-Cut cell design lets panels operate at lower temperatures, this in turn raises energy production per watt. The special cell design can also lower energy loss due to inter-row shading. As a result, greater power production capacity can be achieved when combined with multi-busbar technology as well.
Improved energy generation per watt
Half-cut cell design allows modules to work at lower temperatures, which improves energy generation per watt. The unique cell string structure can significantly reduce the energy loss due to mismatch caused by inter-row shading. In addition, a higher power generation capacity can be achieved in high irradiation zones with multi-busbar technology.

Where are Trina solar panels made?
Company Background, Over 20 Years Of Power.
Trina Solar has more than 20 Years of Power! Founded in 1997 and has in fact 20 years of experience in solar. So, while Trina makes most of its panels in China, it also makes them in Thailand and The Netherlands. Trina is the world’s largest panel maker, and as a result, number 1 on Bloomberg's Tier 1 list. As of Dec. 2020, Trina Solar has delivered more than 66 GW of solar modules worldwide, and over 15,000 employees worldwide. Trina has many patents, they have over 1,400, and they also sell right across Aussie.
Trina Solar Australia Warranty and Service
Superb Product, Superb Support
Trina Solar has a dedicated, fast and responsive team to support its customers in Australia and all over the world. With now 15 year product warranty, 25 year performance guarantee and a main office in Sydney, support easily found across the country. Trina Vertex S + is Trina Solar's first panel to offer a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year performance warranty due to the low degradation rate of the high-purity N-cell layer.
Jinko vs Trina
With a history of success, Trina has proven itself then as one of the top makers of solar panels. They have a similar approach to quality as Jinko Solar who are also one of their main rivals.
According to SolarQuotes' 'Installers Choice Awards 2022' (400+ installers), Trina has been voted as 'the Best Value Solar Panel in Australia’ with 17% of the voters, compare to Jinko solar who came second with 16%. Also the Australian consumers rate Trina at 4.7 stars average from 1305 voters - pretty close to Jinko Solar which also received 4.7 stars out of 1649 votes.
According to market's intelligence company InfoLink, 2021 Trina’s shipments to overseas markets accounted for 65%, an excellent achievement. Trina ranked second right after Longi Solar. Jinko Solar came forth.
Trina has been in solar for nearly 20 years, and hence has built a solid reputation in the local market. Since 2011, Trina has set 15 records for solar power output. The Trina Honeym panel has therefore gained strong market share here in Aussie. Many large projects here as a result, have chosen Trina as their preferred panel.
