On October 28th, China’s first photovoltaic train, Trina Solar’s ”Supreme 670″, was launched from Yancheng, Jiangsu. It is equipped with 41 wagons and nearly 20 MW of extreme 670W series modules, heading to Golmud, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is expected to arrive in about 4 days.
As the construction of large-scale photovoltaic bases in Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other places is in full swing, railway special trains will effectively improve the transportation timeliness of photovoltaic modules and help customers to advance their projects in a timely and orderly manner.
The modules shipped by Trina Solar this time on the first train are for the Shanghai Electric Power Design Institute’s 50 MW affordable photovoltaic project located in Wutumeiren Photovoltaic Park, Golmud City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is reported that the project uses all 210 Extreme 670W series of ultra-high power components, which have ultra-high reliability of wind resistance, compression resistance, and frost resistance, and can easily cope with the desert environment with high altitude, large wind and sand, and large temperature differences, plus it has significant advantages The cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity can bring greater value to large-scale photovoltaic power plants in geographic environments such as deserts, Gobi, and deserts.
At present, in China, photovoltaic modules are mainly transported by road, with a small amount of road and rail transportation and all of them are in the form of trains. “It departs today and is expected to arrive in Golmud on November 2. Compared with conventional transportation, it takes 8-10 days, which saves nearly 4-6 days of transit time and improves efficiency by more than 100%.” The relevant person in charge of Trina Solar’s logistics department said , The railway special train mode adopts special cars and special tracks, which greatly shortens the waiting time of transportation and improves the transportation efficiency of the entire process.
This is also another innovative move from Trina Solar’s customer perspective and project application perspective after the release of the “600W+ Supreme Component Integrated Delivery Solution”. It is reported that this special train was jointly launched by Changzhou Post and Trina Solar, which is China’s first photovoltaic special train. In order to actively contribute to the achievement of the national carbon peak and carbon neutral goals, the Changzhou Branch of China Post Group Co., Ltd. makes full use of its own state-owned enterprise resource advantages, actively integrates multiple resources, and is fully studying and discussing logistics and transportation plans with Trina Solar. On the basis, explore the best transportation plan: After the road-rail combined transportation mode, the innovative photovoltaic train was launched, which greatly improved the transportation efficiency and transportation quality of photovoltaic modules, and escorted Trina Solar to transport photovoltaic modules to all parts of the country.
It is worth mentioning that after the special train arrives in Golmud, Trina Solar will also provide customers with flexible short-distance transportation services. According to the needs of the project, it will be delivered to the designated storage place in batches, time periods, and on-demand. Increased the flexibility of arrival, and provided convenience for the construction of customer projects.
