On November 13th, Trina Solar, in collaboration with industry partners, hosted a site visit to a landmark agrivoltaics and aquavoltaic project. This 150MW installation combines aquaculture with solar power, utilizing Trina’s 210 high-efficiency Vertex series modules. The project, completed in two phases, is equipped with Trina’s energy storage stations, including a 27MW/54MWh Trina Elementa series liquid-cooled storage system in Phase II. By leveraging Trina’s fully integrated solutions, from modules to storage, and from battery cells to PCS, the project exemplifies the synergy of solar and storage integration, showcasing a new model for industry adoption and expansion of solar-storage projects.
Transforming Subsidence Zones into Green Ecosystems with Trina’s Integrated Solutions
Trina Solar’s 150MW agrivoltaics and aquavoltaic project is located in the coal mining subsidence area of Shiheng Town, Feicheng City, Shandong Province. By maximizing the use of land previously impacted by mining, Trina has developed an innovative model combining agriculture (“farming under the panels”) and aquaculture (“fishing under the panels”). The project exclusively employs Trina Solar’s 670W Vertex modules, effectively lowering the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and ensuring strong returns for investors. During the visit, rows of solar modules stood high above water surfaces, where fish could be seen jumping, underscoring the project’s dual economic and ecological benefits.
Near the solar plant, the Phase II Trina Feicheng Energy Storage Station features Trina’s Elementa liquid-cooled energy storage system, with proprietary components from battery cells to PCS. These components, including battery clusters, a BMS, DC combiner boxes, liquid cooling, and fire suppression systems, are integrated within a 20-foot container. On-site experts introduced advanced safety measures, including AI-based early warning systems, multi-level fire suppression, and comprehensive safety protocols, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
As one of the few providers offering solar modules, energy storage, and PCS systems, Trina Solar’s proprietary technology brings enhanced compatibility and streamlined service for solar-storage projects. This results in a unified point of contact, higher service efficiency, and increased customer value.
Coordinated Solar-Storage Management and Smart Power Distribution
Birds fly over fishponds and fish swim under the solar panels, creating a harmonious green landscape in the countryside. Designed for both agrivoltaics and aquavoltaic, Trina’s energy storage system is closely integrated with the solar plant, utilizing storage to shave power peaks and valleys. This setup alleviates the challenge of solar curtailment, improving overall utilization rates of the solar plant.
Moreover, the Trina Energy Storage Station supports grid demands by providing frequency regulation and ancillary services, ensuring grid stability. With data integration, Trina’s energy management cloud platform offers unified scheduling and smart power distribution, enabling optimal coordination between solar generation and energy storage. This maximizes renewable energy utilization and ensures stable power supply for essential loads.
