The project's 27 MW solar farm will use Trinasolar's 510 W and 515 W Vertex S+ (NEG18R.28) modules. The modules incorporate n-type i-TOPCon technology and a heat-strengthened dual-glass design selected for durability, weather resistance and low degradation in long-term renewable energy applications.
Further, Trinasolar's n-type i-TOPCon technology helps reduce light-induced degradation, supporting stable energy yield across the project life-cycle. By supporting long-term energy generation and low degradation, the modules can contribute to lower life-cycle costs and stronger long-term project economics.
Construction is underway. On completion, the facility is expected to produce up to 200 tpy of green hydrogen and up to 4500 tpy of low-carbon ammonia. The project is designed to replace imported fossil fuel-based fertilizers and support emissions reduction in agriculture.
Edison Zhou, Head of Australia and New Zealand at Trinasolar said: "Projects like GEGHA demonstrate the important role solar plays in enabling emerging industries such as green hydrogen and low-carbon fertilizer production."
"By supplying high-performance Vertex S+ modules for the project's solar farm, Trinasolar is helping provide the renewable energy foundation for green hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia production."
"GEGHA is designed as a commercial pilot for decentralised hydrogen and fertilizer production that could be replicated across regional Australia. For a project intended to demonstrate a long-term regional model, reliable solar generation is critical. Trinasolar's n-type dual-glass technology and experience in the Australian market were important considerations in selecting modules for the project's solar farm," said Joe Cumming, Senior Project Manager, Hiringa Energy.
