The 600W+ Photovoltaic Open Innovation Ecological Alliance set up by mostly China-based solar companies aims to cross the 600 W module output threshold.
Trina Solar, the biggest manufacturer in an alliance which also includes Risen Energy and JA Solar, has said the organization will build “products, systems and standards for a next-generation technology platform, committing to maximize the customer values of 600W+ ultra-high-power modules and other related solutions.”
The group also includes big inverter manufacturers such as China’s Huawei and Sungrow and Germany’s SMA Solar Technology. Tracker suppliers including China’s Arctech and Singapore-owned Nextracker are also members of the alliance.
