Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has been selected to supply solar modules for the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia (GEGHA) project near Moree, New South Wales (NSW), Australia. GEGHA is the state's first green hydrogen and ammonia facility.
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.
