Trinasolar to unveil its latest Australia-exclusive Full Black solar module at All Energy Australia 2026, alongside advanced battery storage and robotics solutions.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Black is back at All Energy Australia, with global solar and energy storage leader Trinasolar set to unveil its latest Vertex S+ G3 Full Black solar module (NEG10R.25Z), combining premium aesthetics with next-generation performance for Australian rooftops.

The Australian-exclusive module marks the return of Trinasolar’s popular all-black offering, combining its distinctive design with next-generation TOPCon 3.0 technology, in response to strong demand from Australian homeowners, businesses and installers for high-performance solar that doesn’t compromise on appearance.

Delivering up to 510W of power output and 24.4% efficiency, the Vertex S+ G3 features advanced n-type i-TOPCon Ultra technology, low-voltage design and a sleek full-black finish and lightweight dual-glass construction, backed by a 25-year product warranty.

“Black is back with more power, greater efficiency and next-generation solar technology,” said Edison Zhou, Head of Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands at Trinasolar. “The Vertex S+ G3 combines the premium all-black design customers want with the performance and reliability they expect from Trinasolar.”

Beyond the rooftop: Integrated energy solutions

Trinasolar also launches its C&I Integrated Engineering & Solutions, providing end-to-end project support, including project-specific engineering, system optimisation and selective components sourcing. The offering draws on Trinasolar’s decades of technological expertise across solar modules, mounting and tracking systems, and battery energy storage solutions (BESS).

Australia is selected as the launch market, as the expansion of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) on 1 October 2026 to qualifying solar installations above 100 kW and up to 1 MW creates new opportunities for commercial and industrial (C&I) solar.

As C&I projects increasingly integrate solar, battery storage and energy management technologies, Trina Solutions provides tailored support through close consultation with a dedicated team, leveraging global engineering experience to address immediate priorities and anticipate future needs.

Businesses and developers can benefit from integrated energy solutions, while EPCs and system integrators can leverage Trinasolar’s technologies and expertise to complement their existing capabilities for end-to-end project execution.

Trinasolar will also showcase its wider solar and energy storage portfolio, reinforcing its position as an integrated energy solutions provider. This includes the 6.25MWh Elementa 3, Trina Storage’s flagship utility-scale battery energy storage system, highlighting its From Cell to Grid approach, combining advanced DC technology with AC-side integration capabilities.

TrinaTracker’s BUILDEX module installation robot will also be on display, highlighting its potential to address the evolving needs of Australia’s utility-scale solar market. Featuring adaptive leveling of up to 17 degrees, AI-powered vision and LiDAR sensing, BUILDEX is well suited to projects with varied terrain and demanding construction requirements. TrinaTracker aims to help Australian solar developers improve construction efficiency, reduce labor-intensive work and enhance on-site safety.
