Trina Solar Proposes New Classification for UV Degradation in TOPCon Cells
Original: Trina Solar Proposes Reversible and Irreversible Classification for UV-Induced Degradation in TOPCon Cells
Trina Solar has proposed a new classification system that separates ultraviolet-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells into reversible and irreversible forms. The company argues this distinction matters for how module performance loss is measured and predicted over a solar project's lifetime. The proposal is drawing attention in the solar industry as TOPCon technology becomes the dominant cell architecture and buyers seek clearer warranty and durability standards.
Why now: The solar industry is closely watching TOPCon durability claims, and a clearer degradation classification could affect module warranties and performance guarantees.
