This series is a direct alternative to traditional roofing, combining a protective function with the active production of free electricity. Thanks to the use of **monocrystalline i-TOPCon cells** hidden under textured, tempered glass, users gain maximum efficiency while maintaining a minimalist, clean look for the entire roof. This solution addresses the problem of visual dominance caused by standard rack-mounted modules, making it an ideal choice for modern construction and buildings under strict heritage conservation. What sets these solar tiles apart from the competition is their exceptional **watertightness and resistance to extreme weather** conditions, achieved through a precise mounting system. Investing in an **integrated photovoltaic system** allows for the optimization of construction costs, as the panels simultaneously serve as a watertight roof covering and an efficient energy generator. The Solar Tiles series is a synonym for **architectural elegance**, aimed at investors seeking uncompromising quality, for whom the RES installation is to be an integral part of the home structure. This solution guarantees the highest **fire safety** and mechanical durability, which fully matches traditional ceramic tiles. ## Notable figures - Module efficiency of 13.5% is 2.5pp below average for \*\*TOPCon 0-400W\*\* panels (median: 16.0%) - At 134.7 W/m², this panel generates 25.1 W/m² less per unit area than \*\*TOPCon 0-400W\*\* median (159.8 W/m²) - At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 0-400W\*\* panels - At 7.7 kg, this panel is 15.8 kg lighter than \*\*TOPCon 0-400W\*\* median (23.5 kg) - easier handling during installation - In the top 100% for efficiency among all TOPCon panels ## Questions ### Are Trina Solar Solar Tiles suitable for buildings under historic preservation protection? Yes, this is one of the main applications of this series. Thanks to the textured tempered glass surface, Solar Tiles visually resemble classic roof covering rather than a typical rack-mounted panel. The solution works well on historic buildings and in areas with strict aesthetic requirements, where standard PV modules would be rejected by heritage conservation authorities or local building codes. ### What warranty comes with Trina Solar Solar Tiles roof tiles? Trina Solar backs the Solar Tiles series with a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power output warranty. This covers both material and workmanship defects as well as a guaranteed generation level over a quarter century, matching the standard offered with classic pitched-roof mounted panels. ### How do Solar Tiles differ from traditional rack-mounted solar panels? Solar Tiles replace the roof covering itself, serving simultaneously as a watertight roofing layer and a power generator, while classic panels are installed on top of roof tiles using a rail-mounting system. This eliminates the cost of double roofing and the visible bulk of an installation sitting above the roof, delivering a flat, uniform surface with an aesthetic close to traditional roof tiles. ### What is the power output of a single Solar Tiles module? A single tile reaches a maximum power of up to 110 Wp. Due to its smaller form factor compared to standard modules, more units are needed to cover a typical roof area than with a conventional installation, but this allows flexible planning of the active energy-generating surface and better adaptation to irregular roof shapes. ### Do Solar Tiles use bifacial cells? No, the Solar Tiles series uses monofacial monocrystalline i-TOPCon cells. Since the modules are mounted directly as the roof covering with no light access from below, bifacial technology would provide no benefit here - what matters is high front-side yield combined with the roof-tile aesthetic. ### Are Trina Solar's photovoltaic roof tiles fire-safe and weather-resistant? Yes, the series was designed to function as an actual roof covering, so it meets stringent fire-safety and watertightness standards. A precision mounting system and tempered glass provide resistance to hail, strong wind, and heavy rainfall, matching the mechanical durability of traditional ceramic roof tiles while generating electricity at the same time. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/datasheet-teg-solar-tiles-e3b48c9e76cb.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Gamko New Energy GKA182M120W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka182m120w) | 120 W | +40 W, +9.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA182M100W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka182m100w) | 100 W | +20 W, +9.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA182M110W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka182m110w) | 110 W | +30 W, +9.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [JA Solar NS-100MH-36](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-100mh-36) | 100 W | +20 W, lighter, +7.8 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-100MH-36](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-100mh-36) | 100 W | +20 W, lighter, +7.8 pp | | [Renesola YH120W-18M](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-yh120w-18m) | 120 W | Hotter, +6.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Easun Power YH100W-12M](https://comparepv.com/panel/easun-power-yh100w-12m) | 100 W | Hotter, lighter, +6.1 pp | | [Isola New Energy YH120W-18M](https://comparepv.com/panel/isola-new-energy-yh120w-18m) | 120 W | Hotter, +6.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Isola New Energy YH100W-12M](https://comparepv.com/panel/isola-new-energy-yh100w-12m) | 100 W | Hotter, lighter, +6.1 pp | | [Centro Energy CE-100M36](https://comparepv.com/panel/centro-energy-ce-100m36) | 100 W | +20 W, hotter, +6.1 pp | | [Trina Solar TEB-NEGA2CD.48-85W (Clay)](https://comparepv.com/panel/trinasolar-evergreen-shanghai-pv-tech-co-ltd-teb-nega2cd-48-85w-clay) | 85 W | +0.8 pp | | [Trina Solar TEB-NEGA2CD.48-90W (Clay)](https://comparepv.com/panel/trinasolar-evergreen-shanghai-pv-tech-co-ltd-teb-nega2cd-48-90w-clay) | 90 W | +10 W, +1.7 pp | | [Trina Solar TEB-NEGA2CD.45-100W (Black)](https://comparepv.com/panel/trinasolar-evergreen-shanghai-pv-tech-co-ltd-teb-nega2cd-45-100w-black) | 100 W | +20 W, +3.3 pp | | [Trina Solar TEB-NEGA2CD.45-105W (Black)](https://comparepv.com/panel/trinasolar-evergreen-shanghai-pv-tech-co-ltd-teb-nega2cd-45-105w-black) | 105 W | +25 W, +4.2 pp | | [Trina Solar TEB-NEGA2CD.45-110W (Black)](https://comparepv.com/panel/trinasolar-evergreen-shanghai-pv-tech-co-ltd-teb-nega2cd-45-110w-black) | 110 W | +30 W, +5.0 pp | | [SunKean SKT110M10](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunkean-skt110m10) | 110 W | +30 W, hotter, +1.9 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/trina-solar-teb-nega2cd-48-80 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
