Why 210mm Wafer Will Be the Future Industry Standard

The latest trend in the PV industry seems to be for bigger, heavier, and much more powerful modules. This raises a question: Where does this leave the rooftops segments where smaller size and weight distribution are already crucial for project designs? 

At present, the variety of wafer sizes in the PV industry leads to difficulty in module selection for customers. The 210mm is predicted to be the ultimate size for the PV industry in the next 5-10 years. 

Trina Solar offers a solution by introducing the new Vertex S Series which follows some of the latest technology trends with the large 210mm wafer, cells cut into three pieces, with minimum gaps between the cells. These technologies are packed into a slightly smaller package weighting
