TRINA SOLAR HAS MANUFACTURED A 100% RECYCLED SOLAR PANEL WITH 20.7% EFFICIENCY DEMYSTIFYING SOLAR PANEL RECYCLING In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly crucial, solar panel recycling has become a topic of great interest. But we are here demystifying solar panel recycling . Recently, Trina Solar has taken a significant step by introducing the world's first fully recycled silicon solar panel, as mentioned in an article by the Xataka website. This breakthrough demonstrates the feasibility of complete solar panel recycling and opens new possibilities for the photovoltaic industry. Solar panels have a (proven) lifespan of up to three decades, after which their efficiency decreases significantly. Until now, complete recycling of these panels has been a challenge due to the high costs resulting from the current low percentage of panels with real possibilities of being recycled and the apparent complexity of the process. However, Trina Solar has managed to overcome these obstacles by developing 37 patented recycling technologies, which allow all valuable components of discarded solar panels to be separated and reused. Trina Solar's new solar panel from recycled materials using N-type TOPCon cells, achieves a conversion efficiency of 20.7% and a power output of over 645 Wp. Despite being slightly below the efficiency of newly manufactured TOPCon panels, this achievement is an important milestone in the sustainability of the photovoltaic industry. Innovative recycling techniques include in-house developed separating agents, chemical etching technologies, and silver extraction methods using wet treatments. In this context, our Manufacturing and Marketing business model Integration Coefficient IC , both with our didactic and educational efforts aimed at raising awareness about the importance of recycling and sustainability in the solar industry through educational programs and information campaigns that seek to inspire more companies and consumers to adopt sustainable practices and support the development of renewable energy, and also improving efficiency in the supply chain while promoting long-term sustainability by integrating advanced technologies and automated processes that allow significant savings in the acquisition of solar technology, thus ensuring maximum user satisfaction, plays a crucial role in promoting such recycling initiatives and again, demystifying solar panel recycling. Trina Solar's progress in recycling solar panels is a testament to the potential of innovation to address environmental challenges . Also, with the support of models such as the Integration Coefficient IC , we can move towards a more sustainable future, where solar technology besides its great current efficiency is also environmentally friendly because of its great recyclability .

HAPPY 2025, A PERFECT SQUARE YEAR Happy 2025, a Perfect Square Year! This new year brings us a unique opportunity to reflect and act: 2025 is a “perfect square year.” This means that: It is the square of the sum of all the digits in the decimal system: (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)² = 45²=2025. It is also the sum of the cubes of these same digits: (0³ + 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³) = 2025. The last perfect square year was 1936; the next one will be in 2116. So we have a special reason to celebrate this unique moment! But how do we connect this to our Sustainability mission? Sustainability, Our Perfect Equation: The concept of sustainability has deep roots. The report "Our Common Future" defines it as " a development that meets the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same." This should not remain just words. Just as the numbers of a system add up perfectly in 2025, our actions must be integrated seamlessly to build a sustainable future. This is where the Integration Coefficient IC comes into play, the tool that transforms sustainability from a platonic idea to a tangible practice that makes the sum of our actions perfect, from raising awareness to a future where we commit ourselves in the long term so that each step brings us closer to a more balanced and resilient world. In our organization, we work to ensure that every process, from manufacturing to marketing and customer service described as: Connecting factories that optimize resources and reduce emissions. Unified Guarantee offers confidence and added value to the customer. Maximization of ROI through integrated market and production strategies. Efficiency in the supply chain, reducing costs and time. Solutions that make a real “match” with the market's needs, prioritizing the essentials and eliminating the superfluous. All of these steps are aligned towards a common goal: real, practical, and lasting sustainable development , connecting the Integration Coefficient IC and our sustainable mission. We believe that every action counts: Like the digits in the year 2025, our individual decisions must be integrated to achieve a perfect collective impact. Integration is key: By adopting the Integration Coefficient IC in everything we do, we build a sustainable future in the present, without waiting for "perfect square years" to act. As our famous sustainability equation says, this 2025, we call for awakening awareness and making a long-term commitment, where each step brings us closer to a more balanced and resilient world. Happy 45² to all of us! May this perfect square year be the impetus to join forces towards sustainable development that is also mathematically perfect.

INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC EDUCATION PROGRAM In a previous educational publication, always under our Integration Coefficient IC business model, regarding Central or String Inverters , we said that one of the most common cons of this type of system was, first, that they are relatively expensive to maintain since the installation can only be monitored at the system level and not at the level of each solar module because the solar panels were connected in series, so there is additionally a great risk of high voltage right on the roof of the residence, commercial or industrial customer, due to the sum of the open circuit voltages "Voc" of the solar panels in series. The NFPA published the 2017 edition of the NEC (National Electrical Code in the USA), and technically as of January 1st of that year, any state could adopt the new rules of the code. Thus, any solar energy contractor installing an on-grid system had to be aware of the changes in the code. Previously, rapid shutdown requirements, according to the predecessor NEC 2014, only limited a high DC voltage for the wiring to be outside a certain perimeter around the total solar system. Now, for solar On-Grid Installations , NEC 2017 in USA, added details by limiting the existence of that high voltage right at the level of the photovoltaic module due to its proximity to the roof. While there are several ways to achieve this, only one is possible with today's commercially available technology and standards. The idea was to isolate or separate PV modules connected in series, using electronics at the level of each one of them. Inverter manufacturers have taken the lead in offering solutions to comply with NEC 2017. A central inverter must be combined with some module-level technology. This already has a name, being called “Optimizers”. With them, the first thing that is achieved is to locate faults for each photovoltaic module, thus preventing the failure of one of them from causing a total failure of the system, but even without eliminating the disadvantage of a single point of failure at the central inverter level , a disadvantage that is solved, as explained in other publications, with the use of Microinverters instead of Central inverters. Secondly, it is achieved that the DC voltage "seen" by the roof is equal to that of a single module, from 30 to 60 volts depending on the power of the solar panel, eliminating the high voltage produced by the sum of them when connected in series to the DC input of the central inverter that is located at ground level, thus complying with NEC 2017. In our organization, and according to our Value Offer, we assign a lot of resources for educational programs to make installers, project designers, and end users aware of the advantages of the solutions created with our marketing and manufacturing business model Integration Coefficient IC .

FOR ON-GRID SOLAR SYSTEMS Let's continue using our Integration Coefficient IC , one of our strongest business and manufacturing tools that gives us a profound differential advantage in the solar supply chain : education for maximum customer satisfaction . Let's talk about an On-grid solar system  with string or central inverters and their Pros and Cons. The picture above shows a typical connection diagram for these systems. Transformerless grid-connected inverters, lighter and more efficient than their counterparts with isolation transformers, are now very popular in Eurasia and the USA, as they have shown more than proving their reliability versus the concern that existed at the beginning of this trend. That was based on the possibility of transformerless electrical systems feeding the utility network due to a lack of galvanic isolation between the DC and AC circuits, which could eventually allow the passage of dangerous DC faults that would be transmitted to the AC side. This risk has been remedied with high-frequency galvanic isolation systems that exist today, making these central inverter grid-tie systems still widely used. In the same picture, a “matrix combination” box is also shown that is used to wire and combine parallel or series chains of photovoltaic modules, and in this way, connect solar panels in groups, without exceeding the maximum DC input voltage allowed by the Inverter. However, many grid-tied inverter models now offer the possibility of multiple photovoltaic DC input connectors which can help avoid using these “combiners”. This kind of solar panel connection in series brings us to one of the most common disadvantages of this central inverter-based system: they are relatively expensive to maintain since the installation can only be monitored at the system level and not at each solar module level. Then, when finding a defective or shadowed solar module, this job becomes an arduous, time-consuming task that is usually very expensive as done by experts. On the other hand, string inverters never reach the useful life of a photovoltaic module. This fact causes a relatively limited warranty term of 5 or 10 years for these inverters compared to the 25 or 30-year warranty for solar panels. Any return on investment calculation for this kind of solar system must consider at least one or two replacements of this expensive component, plus the labor cost involved in those processes. For this reason, you need to add more than double the inverter cost due to its lower reliability to ROI calculations. The best way to overcome all the disadvantages mentioned above is to use Solar Microinverters instead of String or Central Inverters, as we do when offering our On-Grid Solar Kit solutions .

FASTER HORSES? A need is something necessary to be able to live and function. A want is a concept that may improve your quality of life while needs include everything else. However, these terms are more fluid than they appear at first glance. Let's go to the case of environmental sustainability. Do you need it or do you want it? Hard, right? Sustainability is necessary to live and function, so it is a need. But it also improves the quality of your life, so we want it. Henry Ford said: " If we had asked people what they wanted, they would have said: Faster Horses ". Then the topic of defining needs and wants turns into a never-ending tirade. People wanted and needed to move faster from one place to another. So a faster horse satisfied their needs and desires because the idea of a motor vehicle did not exist in their minds. But vehicles emit CO2 causing current pollution. People still need to move faster, but it seems not to be on their minds that they need, even more, to prevent the global meltdown caused by a world unable to sustain itself environmentally. That makes a significant difference when promoting Renewable Solar Energy to consumers. Since ancient times, business culture has taught us that the client is always right. Although that is true, what is needed now is to change the current commercial attitude of imposing products, avoiding sales based on clients needing us because they are not experts which is a wrong paradigm. Although the clients know what they want, not necessarily what they need, what must be sought is how to please the clients and make them feel like an important factor in a process that goes beyond their needs or desires to a personal level. In our organization, we do it through our Marketing and Manufacturing process Integration Coefficient IC , which has been powerful in ensuring that solutions to problems that affect sustainable development are not limited solely to policies, strategies, products, and standards established in companies but integrating customers and their direct suppliers by achieving feelings of high satisfaction with the use of our innovative solutions and then inherently promoting Sustainability. Don't you agree? We welcome your feedback. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us for more information.

A NEW TENDENCY: COMMUNITY SOLAR "Community Solar" has become a popular form of electricity consumption due to its accessibility. Unlike traditional solar panel installations that must be located on an open property or rooftop space, community solar is designed for large-scale use among multiple tenants. Traditionally, solar energy installation favored real estate owners and investors, leaving renters and low-income households without access to the benefits of solar. However, "Community Solar" is reshaping the landscape, by offering more customers the opportunity to adopt and benefit from solar energy. The rise of shared solar self-consumption or hybrid through this new tendency: "Community Solar", is a model that allows multiple people, businesses, or organizations to harness solar energy without needing individual panel installations . It is typically offered through subscription-based programs, expanding access to a broader range of customers, including renters or those without adequate shelter. Beyond the environmental benefits received, participants generally obtain savings in energy costs, which currently are around 10% in the USA. 22 states in the USA have passed laws on independent community solar projects . Despite the challenges that states like Massachusetts and Maine faced in 2022, recent favorable policies in Maryland, New Jersey, and California have spurred growth. Projections in the USA indicate an average annual increase of 8% with an estimated capacity of 14 gigawatts by 2028 and "Community Solar" is forecast to power 5 million homes by 2025, making clean, affordable electricity more accessible for all. In 2024, in Spain and Italy, " energy communities " , " solar communities " and collective self-consumption will begin to take off. This after the utilities had created many obstacles, greatly delaying network connections and other problems. The reason? Their large electrification plants were doing the work and were installing many energy communities, solar communities, and collective self-consumption. And things were going well there. Now a change has been imposed because the sector associations have put a lot of pressure on the utilities making them provide connections when needed, and facilitating the new installations. In addition, interesting financing and innovative methods are being obtained to carry out these installations for the residents of those communities (ie. solar kits ). This is where our Integration Coefficient IC model comes from through our solar marketing system based on the concept of a shared economy that allows solar installers, who are the step of the supply chain closest to the end customer, to have direct access to Asian manufacturing prices and therefore with price reductions of up to 60% compared to the current supply chain. The positive policy developments supporting the installation of more "Community Solar" parks and a more efficient supply chain by adopting our Integration Coefficient IC model, make this installation tendency a safe bet for solar deployment.

COORDINATED SURGE PROTECTIVE DEVICE INSTALLATION Transient overvoltages , historically among the first disturbances to be recorded by users, have two major causes: lightning and load switching. Depending on local conditions one can be more important than the other, but both need to be duly recognized. Until now most of the users talk about power quality disturbances that cause mostly operation disruption and slow degradation to the critical loads and are related mainly to load switching, but we want now to take this opportunity to show you the most dangerous kind of power disturbances, that causes, mostly, destruction and faster degradation to the critical systems connected to the net electrical utility. This is why this post is titled: The Catastrophic Effects of Lightning. High energy surges or transients in the wiring of any electrical installation produced by external lightning may cause disasters to cars, cement walls, air-crafts, home roofs, roads, big trees, and even on animals and humans, as shown in the picture of this post. Then, can you imagine the severe damage these disturbances would cause to sensitive and critical electronic power loads? Voltage surges are caused by a direct bolt hitting the power system conductors. There are also indirect effects when the lightning bolt strikes an object close to the conductors but not to the conductors themselves. system The three most prevalent types of system failure caused by direct lightning strikes are: Catastrophic failure, usually caused by explosions. Arcing components or destroyed printed circuits. System degradation (mainly from indirect magnetic induction) of the sensitive electronic components and chip sets, continuously weakening until the system fails (normally this damage is not visible). And system disruption, like system lock-ups, data errors, communication errors, and slow system operation faults. In a study of 100 computer system failures attributable to power supply disturbances, weather was cited as the major cause of disruptive sags and outages; voltage sags were found to disrupt computer operations four times as often as outages. Frequently, random transient problems arise from the power source feeding the circuit creating the most concern because it is difficult to define their amplitude, time duration, and energy content. The catastrophic failures from random transients are generally caused by lightning although they also can be caused by switching parallel loads on the distribution system. Fortunately, solutions are available. The most important thing is that complete protection against surges will be achieved only by “combining” or “coordinating” the installation of a proper surge protection device for every part (categories, according to IEEE and IEC standards) of the building. With the advantage of our Integration Coefficient IC , we can provide the most suitable, adapted, and high-benefit/cost ratio solutions for these kinds of destructive events.

Solar-powered " All in One Solar Real Specifications Solar LED street lamps " are more cost-effective than their traditional LED lighting counterparts. Traditional lighting requires trenching and underground wiring to connect to power grids. Solar lighting is autonomous and off-grid, significantly reducing the total cost of installation. Furthermore, solar lighting harnesses power directly from the sun, cutting out the utility company completely. Because solar lights reside off the main power grid, they can be relied on to continue to shine even when the electrical grid goes dark or does not exist, providing public spaces, road security, military facilities, and corporate campuses with better security and dependability. Solar lights improve communities by reducing pollution . Traditional street lights emit carbon dioxide and contribute to greenhouse gas buildup in the atmosphere, but solar street lights help significantly reduce these harmful pollutants. Finally, solar street lights require less maintenance than traditional lights. Traditional lighting fixtures may need to be replaced every five to ten years, but our durable solar lighting systems are built to last even longer. Other than occasional panel cleaning and battery replacement every ten years, solar lighting systems need little upkeep. The facts described in this post properly named " Solar vs AC grid LED street lighting " under the sustainability orientation of our Integration Coefficient IC have been written to open a technical and marketing discussion where we invite all of you to comment about it and subscribe to our website.

A COSMIC AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE On some days of the year, the constellations of stars in the sky appear brighter and larger than on others. This is because when the stars align , they become more visible. This is known as the stars alignment effect and can be observed at night when there is a clear sky. This effect is a unique opportunity to enjoy the stars, and also to reflect on the meaning of the stars in culture. On the other hand, the stars alignment is a way to observe the night skies. It consists of identifying stars and other celestial bodies to find patterns in the sky. These configurations are called constellations and have been used for thousands of years by astronomers for navigation, weather prediction, and storytelling. It is also used to orient yourself in space. These configurations are useful to astronomers studying galaxy evolution because they can see patterns in the way the stars move and are also used to determine the position of celestial objects in space. But the alignment of stars is also a celestial phenomenon that transcends the physical and transports us to a realm of wonders. In the middle of the silent night, the sky becomes a canvas dotted with bright stars, and it is as if we are immersed in a cosmic fairy tale. It is during these magical moments that we feel a surge of energy and power that drives us to dream and aspire to the impossible.
