Trina Solar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has been steadily ramping up production at its manufacturing facility in northern Vietnam.
When the US$203 million factory in the northern city of Thai Nguyen started production last August, it had 700 workers and was producing its industry-leading 210mm monocrystalline silicon wafers. Since then, the workforce has more than doubled to 1,500 workers and the factory is now also producing solar cells and modules; representing more advanced stages of value-added manufacturing. The facility is now steadily ramping up to its maximum annual production capacity: 6.5GW of wafers, 4GW solar cells and 5GW modules. Today, some of Vietnam’s largest utility-scale as well as Commercial and Industrial (C&I) solar projects are powered by Trina Solar modules.
Utility-scale projects powered by Trina Solar Vertex modules include the 51MW Dam Tra O floating solar farm, in the central coastal province of Binh Dinh, and the 49MW Vinh Long ground-mounted solar farm near the southern tip of Vietnam.
