Trina Solar will be participating in the Green Energy Expo 2024 in Daegu, South Korea (24?26 April). The company will unveil its latest advancements in solar modules, trackers and energy storage; in line with its market positioning as a total solutions provider. Participation in the show reaffirms Trina Solar's dedication to driving sustainable energy practices in South Korea and beyond.

Solar is by far the largest source of renewable energy in Korea. Solar energy capacity increased 12% last year to 27,046MW from 24,078MW, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Solar's proven track record of reliability, durability and cost-competitiveness make it ideal for deployment in South Korea.

Furthermore, solar can be quickly and readily deployed at a large scale, even on challenging sites, such as mountainous terrain. For instance, South Korean solar energy company SolarTEQ has a 24MW utility-scale solar farm it built on mountainous terrain in Hongcheon county using Trina Solar's Vertex 660W power dual-glass bifacial modules. Hongcheon county in the northern province of Gangwon.

Trina Solar also sees enormous potential for utility-scale solar on vacant land where the salt in the soil is too great to support agriculture. The company recently provided 42MW worth of Vertex modules to one such site on South Korea's west coast. Trina Solar modules have dual-glass, making it durable in humid and salt-laden environments.

Besides land subject to high salinity, Trina Solar sees there is potential for floating solar farms on seas as well as Korea's lakes and reservoirs. Trina Solar's modules are an ideal option for floating solar farms. It has provided panels for prominent floating solar farms across the world, for instance, the 130MW Yingshan floating solar farm in China'sAnhui province, India's 100MW Kayamkulam solar farm, the 50MW Dam Tra O floating solar plant in Vietnam, and Singapore's 60MW Tengeh Floating Solar Farm.
