Trina Solar has introduced an Australia-specific version of its Vertex S+ module, according to an article published by pv magazine Australia on May 7, 2026.
The new variant, designated the monofacial NEG10R.28Z module, delivers a power output of up to 515 W and a maximum conversion efficiency of 24.65%. It operates within a standard module footprint measuring 1,842 mm by 1,134 mm by 30 mm. The module utilizes n-type i-TOPCon cell architecture combined with zero-busbar and zero-gap technologies to boost efficiency and minimize electrical losses.
Its lower-voltage design, featuring an open-circuit voltage of 38.3 V and a short-circuit current of 12.85 A, allows for more flexible string sizing across various inverter configurations. This flexibility helps installers optimize system layouts, particularly where roof design or electrical constraints apply. The higher power density means target system capacities can be reached with fewer modules, potentially increasing capacity without expanding the physical footprint and reducing balance-of-system requirements as well as the levelized cost of electricity.
The module is engineered for Australian conditions, with a temperature coefficient of -0.26% per degree Celsius to maintain performance in high heat, and a dual-glass structure for enhanced durability. It is rated for mechanical loads up to 5,400 Pa for snow and 4,000 Pa for wind. The product comes with a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year power output guarantee, with end-of-life output guaranteed at no less than 88.85% of nominal power. First-year degradation is limited to 1%.
Trina Solar stated that the module supports systems of up to 100 kW under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, where higher wattage and efficiency per module allow installers to maximize Small-scale Technology Certificate returns within limited roof space. Edison Zhou, Trina Solar’s head of operations for Australia and Asia Pacific, noted that the 510 to 515 W range is considered a practical sweet spot for rooftop systems, as installers increasingly seek higher-wattage, higher-efficiency modules in standard dimensions.
The Vertex S+ 515 W module is available for preorder, with an expected Australian launch in early Q3 2026, pending final certification and listing requirements.
