Trinasolar Showcases Smart Energy Portfolio, Marks Project Milestones at Solar & Storage Live Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Trinasolar is presenting its latest smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage technologies at Solar & Storage Live Africa, highlighting its expanding footprint in South Africa and a growing project pipeline exceeding 2 gigawatts (GW).
Exhibiting at Booth H5-D34, the company is featuring an integrated suite of solutions aimed at improving performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency in solar deployment. Technologies on display include the Vertex N 750W module, Elementa 3 energy storage system, TrinaTracker Vanguard 1P tracking system and Trinabot automation platform, tools designed to support utility-scale, commercial and industrial (C&I) and hybrid solar-plus-storage projects.
The showcase comes as Trinasolar reinforces its position as the leading solar provider in South Africa. A key milestone underpinning this status is the delivery of the 510MW Khauta Solar Project, one of the country’s largest solar developments. Located in Welkom, the project was executed in partnership with WBHO and comprised two concurrent phases: Khauta South (352.5MW) and Khauta West (157.8MW). Trinasolar supplied modules and provided end-to-end support, including technical, logistics, and aftersales services.
The company is also expanding its partnerships within the region. It has entered into a strategic agreement with Mulilo for the 220MW Orkney Solar Project, further strengthening its presence in the utility-scale segment.
Trinasolar’s current and planned projects in South Africa now represent a pipeline exceeding 2GW, reflecting sustained demand for renewable energy and the country’s ongoing shift toward a more diversified energy mix. “South Africa is entering a defining phase of solar growth, driven by rising electricity demand, expanding energy wheeling frameworks, and the rapid scale-up of commercial and industrial projects”, said Zaheer Khan. “Trinasolar is positioned to support this transition through advanced solar technologies, integrated storage solutions, and a strong track record in large-scale project delivery”.
Away from project execution, the company highlighted its community engagement efforts, including wellness initiatives and support for local sports programs, as part of its broader commitment to responsible development.
As Africa’s energy transition accelerates, Trinasolar said it aims to remain a long-term partner for developers, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms, and energy providers across the continent.
