With innovation-driven development as its most important strategy and core driving force, Trinasolar has put in place a comprehensive and leading science and innovation system. On independent innovation, Trinasolar established an innovation platform, focusing on basic, cutting-edge, and thematic research for the new generation of photovoltaic technology. It actively supports the building of a collaborative innovation community in the Yangtze River Delta region, and promotes the globalization of the R&D system and build an industrial science and technology creation center with global influence. In 2024, Trinasolar renewed its collaboration with Fudan University to establish a university-industry laboratory for advanced photovoltaic technologies. On collaborative innovation, the company takes the lead in preparing for the establishment of a new generation of photovoltaic technology and equipment manufacturing innovation center, unites the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain, universities, jointly lays out a new generation of photovoltaic products - crystalline silicon stacked solar cells, so as to contribute to the creation of an innovation platform with global influence. We are jointly advancing the strategic deployment of next-generation photovoltaic products, particularly crystalline silicon tandem solar cells, to build a globally influential innovation platform. Meanwhile, Trinasolar is actively driving the elevation of the Yancheng–Changzhou–Suqian–Huai'an photovoltaic cluster into a national advanced manufacturing one, accelerating its progress toward becoming a world-class industrial hub.
The Company works closely with world-class R&D and certification testing institutions to build a technological innovation team consisting mainly of outstanding scientific researchers at home and abroad. As a pioneer among Chinese PV and energy storage enterprises to participate in the formulation of international standards, Trinasolar has become the innovation leader and standard-setter in the global solar energy industry. Trinasolar continues to maintain its leading position in the Chinese PV and energy storage industry in terms of the number of valid invention patents, and it tops the Global Perovskite Solar Cell Invention Patent Ranking. So far, Trinasolar’s SKL has set or broken 35 world records in terms of PV cell conversion efficiency and module output power.
