Trina Solar signs 500MW solar module agreement in Yemen

Al-Raebi has now become the authorised distributor of Trina Solar products in the country.

Chinese photovoltaic equipment manufacturer Trina Solar has reached an agreement to deliver 500MW of solar modules to Al-Raebi for trading in Yemen.

Under the agreement, Trina Solar will supply 100MW of Vertex N modules during 2023.

Trina claims that its upgraded Vertex N series modules will increase the module’s efficiency to 22.4%, with power reaching 605W and 695W for residential, commercial and industrial photovoltaic applications and utility settings.

Last year, Trina Solar supplied 40MW of its n-type modules to the company.

Trina Solar Middle East managing director and vice-president Antonio Jimenez said: “We are proud to bring our latest Vertex N modules to the region.

“Our long and prosperous relationship with Al-Raebi allows us to deliver the power, efficiency and reliability needed to accelerate the adoption of clean energy in the Yemeni market.”

Al-Raebi has now become the authorised distributor of Trina Solar products in the country. The agreement will ensure that Yemen will continue to receive the company’s latest Vertex N modules.

Al-Raebi general manager Abdullah M Raebi said: “Solar energy has rapidly gained in popularity, and become the foundation of Yemen’s electricity supply. Over 70% of households are now using solar energy as their primary source.

“We are truly proud to lead the way in the Middle East solar sector by introducing Trina Solar’s latest Vertex N modules, allowing us to deliver the most advanced solar technology to address the current and future market demand.

“The new 500MW deal comes as a strong testament and a clear indication of the excellent value that these modules are providing to users in Yemen.”
