Trina Storage proudly announces the successful shipment of its first 1.2 GWh order of the self-developed Elementa 2 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to Chile. Marking a major milestone, this project stands as one of the largest standalone energy storage deployments overseas and signals the beginning of Trina Storage’s GWh-scale international expansion.
This achievement showcases the Elementa 2 system’s advanced technical flexibility, proving its capability to perform reliably in harsh environments while addressing complex, scenario-specific energy demands across global markets.
The project has been situated in the Desert of Atacama, which is the north of Chile and one of the driest as well as most demanding regions globally. Elementa 2 Desert Solution manufactured by Trina Storage to withstand such harsh conditions will provide stable operations. This is projected to not only reduce the rates of failure of equipments and O&M expenditure but also enable the system to create a swift response to grid variations and balance supply and demand of power.
“This successful deployment of a GWh-scale project showcases Trina Storage’s full lifecycle solution capabilities,” emphasized Álvaro García-Maltrás, President of Trina Solar for Latin America and the Caribbean. “We combine world-class engineering with deep local market knowledge to guarantee successful deployment and long-term operational excellence.”
The company is reported to have maintained the full-process control ability through the vertically chain supply chain, intelligent manufacturing, and quality control processes during the phase of large-scale delivery.
Localized service strategy by Trina Storage
Meanwhile, Trina Storage implemented its localized service strategy in order to guarantee the flawless implementation and continuity of the project. This involved building a local service team to be familiar with the Chilean regulations or market requirements; consolidating the resources of the supply chain across the region of Latin America to reduce the logistics cycle and collaboration cost; developing an end to end full-cycle after-sales service system including commissioning, operation, and maintenance forming a full service chain.
In this project, the project will find itself in a fast growing market. As recently reported by the Ministry of Energy in Chile, the operating 3,660 MWh of energy storage capacity consolidates the leading role played by the country in Latin America. The completed transportation of this GWh-level production does not only establish a new standard of Trina Storage in the given region but also contributes to solidifying the clean energy transition throughout Chile and other countries with its stable energy storage options.
Having shipped more than 10GWh energy storage systems in over 100 countries worldwide, Trina Storage will keep powering smart production and a worldwide service network.
