Chinese solar photovoltaic (PV) module-maker Trinasolar has announced a partnership with AMEA Power to deploy its Elementa 2 platform for the 300MWh Abydos Solar PV project in Egypt.

It is said to represent a major expansion of the existing 500MW solar power plant in Kom Ombo, Aswan Governorate.

Trinasolar’s Elementa 2 platform has features such as vertically integrated LFP cells, a module design for increased energy density, compatibility with various PCS systems, smart liquid cooling, and advanced safety systems.

Trinasolar global sales vice-president and MEA MU head Vincent Wu said: “This groundbreaking project highlights Trinasolar’s vital role in driving innovation, ensuring safety, and supporting the region’s transition to a more sustainable and dependable energy future.

“We are proud to contribute to such a transformative endeavour, bringing clean energy to Egypt and setting a benchmark for utility-scale energy storage solutions in North Africa.”
