The PV Ultra module is easy to upgrade, enabling a long-life and versatile asset

SOURCE: Trina Solar; RayGen 9

PV Ultra modules are just 0.1% of solar area (99.9% standard mirrors), enabling the PV Ultra system to be:

• Very easy to upgrade (avoiding technology lock).

• Very easy to reconfigure to different commodity mix (resilient asset value in event of market shock).

• 100% built for the circular economy (designed to be refurbished and/or easily recycled).
