</em><em>Kiwi</em> <em>Solar</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Waikato, New Zealand:</strong> Trinasolar, a global leader in smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions, has joined forces with Kiwi Solar and Trilect to launch Waikato's first-ever agrivoltaics project. This marks Trinasolar's third foray into dual-use agricultural and solar farming in New Zealand.</p> <p> Set across 6.5 hectares of land, the new solar farm is equipped with 5,740 modules, featuring Trinasolar's cutting-edge Vertex N 720W series modules (NEG21C.20), maximizing both power and efficiency via its best-in-class 700W+ power and 22.5% efficiency. The solar farm is set to generate approximately 6,000 MWh of clean energy annually—enough to power around 800 local homes.</p> <p> Beyond energy production, the project introduces a pioneering approach to land use by allowing the landowner to continue agricultural activities, such as sheep grazing, beneath the PV modules. This dual-purpose land use not only optimizes land value but also supports additional income streams in rural locations, benefiting the entire community.</p> <p> "At Trinasolar, we are committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the energy sector," said Edison Zhou, Head of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands at Trinasolar Asia Pacific.</p> <p> "Our partnership with Kiwi Solar and Trilect on Waikato's first agrivoltaics project highlights the demonstrated expertise and on-ground support we bring to every project. With a large-scale project such as this, quality and reliability are at the forefront of any provider choosing hardware. With an industry-leading 30-year product warranty, our modules combine state-of-the-art technology like <em>n</em>-type i-TOPCon and 210mm, engineered for durability and peak performance. We remain dedicated to providing ongoing support to ensure long-term success."</p> <p> Andrew Beckett, Founder of Kiwi Solar, highlights the transformative potential of combining solar energy with traditional agriculture. "This project goes beyond generating clean energy; it's about creating a sustainable future," said Beckett. "By integrating solar power with agriculture, we’re optimizing land use and enhancing the economic growth of the Waikato region. We're also providing landowners new revenue streams while contributing to New Zealand's clean energy goals."</p> <p> “As renewable energy is still a growing sector in New Zealand, Trinasolar's knowledge and support throughout the process was invaluable, and this project is living proof that agrivoltaics can and does offer the best of both worlds."</p> <p>  </p> <p class="rtecenter"> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/2024101602.png" /></p> <p class="rtecenter"> <em>Credit： </em><em>Kiwi</em> <em>Solar</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> With only about 500 MW of solar capacity currently installed in the country, the potential for growth is immense. As New Zealand works out how exactly it will reach its goal of 100 percent renewable energy, projects like this one are crucial to sustaining New Zealand's clean energy future.</p> <p> "This initiative highlights the importance of embracing renewable energy in New Zealand," added Beckett. "As one of the last developed countries to fully embrace solar, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transition. The subsidy-free nature of this project proves that solar energy is a viable and necessary addition to our national energy strategy."</p> <p> <strong>For more information on Trinasolar's</strong><strong> innovative solutions, please visit https://www.trinasolar.com/au/. </strong></p> </div> </section>            </div> <div class="press-block"> <div class="row press-cont" style="background: #dddddd"> <div class="col-md-2 col-xs-12" style="height: 1px;"> </div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-12 text-left"> <div class="content"> <div class="press-cont-left" > <div>10</div> <div class="press-cont-left-m" >OCT</div> </div> <div class="press-cont-left-line" > </div> <div class="press-cont-right" > <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/auconsecutive-4-quarters-trina-storage-recognized-bnef-energy-storage-tier-1-list" >31.Consecutive 4 Quarters | Trina Storage Recognized on BNEF Energy Storage Tier 1 List for Q4 2024</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/autrinasolar-sets-world-record-27th-time-n-type-i-topcon-cell-achieving-259" >20.Trinasolar sets a world record for the 27th time, with n-type i-TOPCon cell achieving 25.9% efficiency</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/autrinasolar-reveals-revolutionary-green-hydrogen-solution-all-energy-australia" >21.Trinasolar Reveals Revolutionary Green Hydrogen Solution at All Energy Australia 2024</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/auaward-recognizes-trinasolars-wise-stewardship-water" >02.Award recognizes Trinasolar's wise stewardship of water</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/audecoding-idea-award-trinasolars-vertex-s-black-series%E2%80%99-aesthetic-design-both" >11.Decoding IDEA Award | Trinasolar's Vertex S+ Black Series’ Aesthetic Design with Both Substance and Style</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/auworld-standards-day-trinasolar-leads-standardization-and-unites-efforts-tackle" >14.World Standards Day: Trinasolar leads in standardization and unites efforts to tackle climate challenges</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/autrinatracker-named-tier-1-pv-tracker-supplier-smm" >14.TrinaTracker is named tier 1 PV tracker supplier by SMM</a> </div> </div> <div class="row press-cont-right-item" > <div class="col-xs-12 text-left press-cont-right-item-title" > <a href="/au/resources/newsroom/augood-design-award-trinasolars-vertex-s-series-oscar-east" >21.Good Design Award for Trinasolar's Vertex S+ series, an Oscar from the East</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-xs-12" style="height: 1px;"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <style> #wechat_share .popover.top { margin-top: -10px;
