Middle of its segment, modest efficiency
Trina Solar's Colored Dual Glass Module series was designed with building roof and facade integration in mind - where standard black panels mar the architectural design. Its greatest advantage is the ability to choose the color, thanks to the use of colored glass, allowing the PV installation to match the building's style, rather than the other way around. This solution is particularly valued by investors who must balance aesthetic, conservation, or design requirements with actual energy production.
The dual-glass construction increases resistance to material aging and harsh environmental conditions, and also supports fire safety in BIPV applications. In practice, this means more stable performance and a lower risk of operational issues on roofs and facades exposed to wind, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. The modules are based on N-type TOPCon technology, highly regarded for its low degradation and good performance at high temperatures, translating to a more predictable yield over time.
This is the choice for architects, developers, and companies implementing BIPV - from premium rooftops to commercial facades, where both appearance and energy matter.

Bottom 2% of the TOPCon 400-450 W segment, against a median of 51.4. Ranked 13,678th in the whole database.
- Module efficiency of 15.7% is 6.3pp below average for TOPCon 400-450W panels (median: 22.0%)
- Power density of 157.2 W/m² is 63.0 W/m² below TOPCon 400-450W median (220.2 W/m²) - needs more roof space
- At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for TOPCon 400-450W panels
- Weight of 33.0 kg is 11.0 kg above TOPCon 400-450W median (22.0 kg) - verify structural support
- In the top 98% for efficiency among all TOPCon panels
