Trina Storage Demonstrates High Efficiency and Long-Term Reliability in Verified Field Results
Independent testing confirms 95.2% DC efficiency and 98% capacity retention after one year of operation MUNICH, July 10, 2025 /CNW/ -- Trina Storage has released independently verified operational data from a 150MW utility-scale agrivoltaic + storage project, confirming strong real-world performance in both efficiency and long-term reliability. The project, part of a solar + storage hybrid renewable energy installation, has been in continuous operation for over a year. Performance evaluation was conducted by UL Solutions and the China Quality Certification Center (CQC), two globally recognized third-party authorities. Results show the system consistently achieved 95.2% DC-side efficiency and 87.1% system-level round-trip efficiency, placing it among the most efficient large-scale energy storage systems currently in operation. Fully Integrated, High-Efficiency Design from Cell to Grid The project is powered by Trina Storage's Elementa Series, a smart, flexible energy storage solution built with Trina Storage's proprietary in-house battery cells. Designed for flexibility and scalability, Elementa delivers high efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability by optimizing performance across the entire system—from cell to grid. Key system features include a smart thermal management system, which keeps cell temperature variation within 3°C, and auxiliary power consumption as low as 1.8%. Together, these capabilities reduce energy loss by approximately 30% compared to conventional systems and contribute an estimated 200,000 kWh of additional electricity annually, boosting overall output and returns. Verified Reliability and Strong Economic Performance After more than a year in operation, the system retains 98% of usable capacity, indicating minimal degradation and strong cycle performance. This long-term reliability supports a 15–20% reduction in Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) compared to industry averages, enhancing project bankability. With its high efficiency and stable performance, the system enables participation in multiple market applications—including energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, and reserve services—helping operators diversify revenue streams and shorten investment payback periods. "Over the course of more than a year, UL Solutions conducted a rigorous evaluation of the Feicheng project based on strict performance standards," said Chen Chi, product manager in the Energy and Industrial Automation group at UL Solutions. "The system has consistently shown optimal efficiency and cycle life, and low auxiliary power consumption throughout the monitoring period. These outcomes indicate a solid level of technical integration and reliable performance under real-world conditions." "We're proud to see our technology delivering real value under field conditions," said Shawn Deng, Head of Global Product & System Integration at Trina Storage. "From Cell-to-AC capability to third-party validation, our goal is to build trust through performance. We'll continue working with global partners to test next-generation systems in diverse environments and provide transparent, data-driven benchmarks for the industry."

Trina Storage Accelerates Energy Storage Growth Across Asia-Pacific with 2.4 GWh of Deployments Underway
SINGAPORE, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, the energy storage division of global solar leader Trinasolar, has reached a significant milestone with more than 2.4 GWh of utility-scale storage capacity under execution across the Asia-Pacific region (excluding China) as of July 2025. Spanning Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia and South Asia, these deployments represent a substantial contribution to 16 GWh of new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity projected to be added in APAC (excluding China) in 2025, according to BloombergNEF. As demand for grid-scale storage continues to accelerate across key APAC markets, Trina Storage has been selected to supply advanced BESS technology for several large-scale renewable energy projects. This includes 1.7 GWh of BESS for one of the region's largest storage projects to date in South Asia, and 500MWh for Australia's Limestone Coast North Energy Park. These developments reinforce Trina Storage's position as a trusted partner for utility-scale energy storage, capable of delivering complex, multi-phase utility deployments. The projects are powered by the Elementa Series, a smart, fully integrated storage platform built with Trina's in-house lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells and designed to optimize performance from cell to grid. Manufacturing and developing its own LFP cells enables enhanced control over quality, safety, and performance. Key features include a smart thermal management system that maintains cell temperature variation within 3°C, and auxiliary power consumption as low as 1.8%. These capabilities are engineered to reduce energy losses by up to 30% compared to conventional systems, supporting higher system efficiency and potentially contributing additional usable energy annually. With a reliable supply chain, proven technology, comprehensive performance guarantees and long-term warranties, Trina Storage ensures long-term system reliability and strong bankability. It has been listed among BloombergNEF's Tier 1 energy storage manufacturers for six consecutive quarters and continues to rank top in BloombergNEF's global storage providers and integrators bankability survey. Backed by global technical expertise with localized support, Trina Storage brings together bankable project credentials, compliance with international safety and performance standards (including IEC, UL, NFPA) as well as local standards and certifications (in countries like Australia and Japan), as well as strong regional execution capabilities. These strengths have been instrumental in boosting investor confidence and establishing Trina Storage as a preferred partner for utility-scale energy storage projects. "Our growing presence across APAC reflects not only strong market demand but growing recognition of Trina Storage's differentiated technology, delivery capabilities, and long-term reliability," said Dr Leo Zhao, Head of Energy Storage at Trinasolar Asia Pacific. "Trina Storage is well-prepared, with a full-scope delivery framework from manufacturing to commissioning. In key markets, we have established expert local teams who understand regional policies, grid requirements, and market dynamics. With proven technical strength and reliable project delivery, Trina Storage is setting new benchmarks for the global energy storage industry." With utility-scale projects underway across the region, Trina Storage continues to expand its footprint and support APAC's clean energy transition through safe, high-performing, and future-ready energy storage solutions.
