The BNEF Tier 1 PV Module Manufacturers list is widely recognised as one of the most authoritative benchmarks in the solar industry and has long been regarded by investors and capital markets as a key indicator for evaluating company performance and tracking market trends.
In 2024, BNEF significantly tightened its evaluation criteria. To qualify as a Tier 1 manufacturer, companies must meet strict requirements, including supplying for at least six projects (over 5 MW) with own-brand and own-manufactured products. Projects must have secured non-recourse financing from six different non-development banks.
Trinasolar has long been at the forefront of the cutting-edge innovation in n-type TOPCon module technology. After breaking the efficiency record for large-area industrial TOPCon solar cells at 26.58 percent, Trinasolar officially launched its ground-breaking TOPCon Ultra technology and applied it to Vertex N modules. The upgraded Vertex N module series features bifaciality of up to 90 percent and strong resistance to UV-induced degradation, improving reliability and safeguarding long-term value for customers.
The upgraded Vertex N series modules are built on Trinasolar’s 210mm product technology platform. By strategically adopting the 210mm size standard early on, Trinasolar not only established itself as an industry leader but also played a pivotal role in fostering a collaborative 210mm industrial ecosystem. According to TrendForce, by the end of 2024, global cumulative shipments of 210mm products had reached approximately 385 GW, with Trinasolar alone accounting for over 170 GW.
