SEOUL, South Korea, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trinasolar, a global leader in smart solar and energy storage solutions, has introduced its latest high-power module, the Vertex N G3, to the South Korea market. The module leverages Trinasolar’s advanced n-type i-TOPCon Ultra technology, delivering a maximum power output of 760W.

South Korea’s solar sector is shaped by land constraints, grid considerations, and a continued focus on improving project returns. As project conditions become more complex, developers are placing greater emphasis on maximizing energy yield per installation area while ensuring long-term system performance and investment stability.

The Vertex N G3 is designed to support these requirements through system-level performance improvements. Its optimized voltage-to-current ratio enables higher string power with fewer modules, supporting more efficient system design and reducing balance of system (BOS) costs. The module also features bifaciality of up to 85±5%, enabling an additional 10–20% energy generation depending on site conditions, further improving overall system yield.

With low linear degradation of 0.35% and stable temperature performance, the module supports consistent energy output over time, which is critical for projects operating under Korea’s seasonal temperature variation. It is engineered for durability in humid and coastal environments commonly found across the country, helping to maintain performance in long-term deployments. The module also is compatible with mainstream tracking systems. These characteristics contribute to lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and improved long-term project performance.

Backed by a 30-year power output warranty, the Vertex N G3 is supported by Trinasolar’s established bankability credentials. The company has achieved a 100% bankability rating in BloombergNEF’s 2025 PV Module Bankability Survey for the eighth time, reflecting consistent confidence from global financial institutions, independent power producers, and EPC contractors. This provides a strong foundation for project financing and long-term asset performance.

“In South Korea, delivering high-efficiency systems within constrained site conditions requires both strong product performance and local execution,” said Li Na, President of Korea, Trinasolar Asia Pacific. “The Vertex N G3 brings the latest TOPCon technology to the market, backed by our Korea-based team providing technical and after-sales support.”

The Vertex N G3 will be available in South Korea by the end of the year for utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects.

President and CEO’s review

“The start of 2026 was strong. The January–March revenue was all-time high in the company’s history. We made consistent progress across all key business areas and strengthened Betolar’s position as a developer of innovative, low-carbon solutions for critical needs of society.

In Mining & Metals, we received a follow-on order from Anglo American related to our Metal Extraction Technology processing of Sakatti mine tailings. We initiated also collaboration with EcoGraf and Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) to assess the utilization potential of tailings from the Epanko mine. These initiatives demonstrate the strong interest shown in our Metal Extraction Technology by leading global mining industry players, and in addition to these projects, we are actively advancing the demonstration of our technology’s performance at the next scale. During the review period, we also continued the development of cementless and low-carbon mining solutions within customer projects.

In Infrastructure Solutions, we focused on executing the company’s largest project order to date and continued the development of low-carbon and cementless concrete solutions for infrastructure projects. We also introduced a new solution to the market for protecting critical infrastructure, such as electrical substations and, especially, main transformers, against drones and other threats. The solution is based on a preventive approach, Betolar’s materials technology expertise, and the use of locally available materials, and it directly addresses the growing demand for improving the resilience and security of society.

In Circular Materials, business developed positively both internationally and in Finland. In India, blast furnace slag sales continued to grow, and in Finland we launched the sale of blast furnace slag to the concrete industry, enabling broader utilization of low-carbon materials that can be adopted immediately in construction.

Overall, the early part of the year reinforced Betolar’s strategic direction and created a solid foundation for business growth. We will continue our determined efforts to commercialize our technologies, deepen partnerships and bring our solutions to wider market adoption. Infrastructure solutions and the sale of circular economy materials support the company’s short-term revenue generation, while our investments in the development and commercialization of our Metal Extraction Technology support the company’s long-term value creation.

Finally, I would like to thank our customers for their trust, our partners for their excellent collaboration, and all Betolar employees for their committed work towards our shared goals. Together, we are building sustainable growth and solutions that create value both for our customers and society at large.”
