Trinasolar has expanded its renewable energy portfolio in the Philippines by introducing utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) alongside its solar PV modules for large-scale solar-plus-storage projects. The announcement was made by Trina Storage, the company’s energy storage arm, during an industry seminar held in Manila with participation from officials and energy sector experts.
As solar and wind capacity in the Philippines increases, grid operators and developers are placing greater focus on BESS that can support renewable integration, grid stability, and utility-scale project delivery. In particular, grid-forming BESS is gaining attention for its ability to regulate voltage and frequency without relying on grid signals.
In response to this demand, Trinasolar is building on its established solar module presence in the Philippines to support utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects. The company has been active in the Philippines since 2013 and has supplied solar modules for utility-scale projects, including the recently commissioned 40MW Limbauan Solar Power Project (LSPP) solar farm in Isabela. Developers and project owners can now source Trinasolar modules and Trina Storage BESS hardware from a single provider for solar-plus-storage projects. This single-source hardware procurement approach can simplify project delivery by reducing vendor complexity and supports more coordinated execution and after-sales support.
Trina Storage’s Elementa 3 delivers 6.25 MWh per container using Trina’s proprietary 587Ah cells, increasing site-level energy density by 24.7% over the previous generation. The system is designed to reduce the levelised cost of storage (LCOS) in large-scale deployments. Vertex N G3 modules deliver up to 760W using n-type i-TOPCon Ultra cell technology, supporting high-efficiency solar generation in utility-scale projects. Together, Elementa 3 and Vertex N G3 support Trinasolar’s PV and BESS offering for utility-scale projects in the Philippines.
“Developers are increasingly looking for integrated renewable energy solutions that combine both solar generation and storage technologies,” said Dr. Leo Zhao, Head of Storage, Asia Pacific at Trina Storage. “By offering Elementa 3 together with our Vertex N modules, we aim to provide developers in the Philippines with a single-source solution for utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects.” Trina Storage currently has more than 3.1 GWh of utility-scale storage capacity under execution across Asia Pacific and has been recognised as a BloombergNEF Tier 1 BESS manufacturer for nine consecutive quarters.
