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.

Signals from the data
BIPV, commercial and residential.
Tight roof space, roofs where every square metre has to count and weight-limited structures.
Bottom 1% of the TOPCon 500-550 W segment, against a median of 22.73%. Ranked 11,956th in the whole database.
Bottom 1% of the TOPCon 500-550 W segment, against a median of 227.4. Ranked 12,033rd in the whole database.
Bottom 2% of the TOPCon 500-550 W segment, against a median of 52.4. Ranked 12,489th in the whole database.
- Efficiency of 20.2% is 2.5pp below the TOPCon 500-550W median (22.7%)
- 201.6 W/m² power density is 25.8 W/m² below TOPCon 500-550W median (227.4 W/m²) - requires larger installation area
- Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the TOPCon 500-550W median
- At 33.0 kg (6.0 kg above TOPCon 500-550W median of 27.0 kg), requires checking roof load capacity
- Ranked #11956 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database
