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.

BIPV, commercial and residential.
Tight roof space, roofs where every square metre has to count and weight-limited structures.
Bottom 1% of the TOPCon 550-600 W segment, against a median of 22.44%. Ranked 11,851st in the whole database.
Bottom 1% of the TOPCon 550-600 W segment, against a median of 224.4. Ranked 11,775th in the whole database.
Bottom 3% of the TOPCon 550-600 W segment, against a median of 53.8. Ranked 12,409th in the whole database.
- Efficiency of 20.3% is 2.1pp below the TOPCon 550-600W median (22.4%)
- 203.4 W/m² power density is 21.0 W/m² below TOPCon 550-600W median (224.4 W/m²) - requires larger installation area
- Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the TOPCon 550-600W median
- At 33.0 kg, this panel is 1.8 kg heavier than the TOPCon 550-600W median (31.2 kg) - more demanding for installation crews
- Ranked #11851 out of 14129 panels for efficiency in the database
