High quality solar panels pay off for business

As businesses navigate the complexities of energy security, cost saving and sustainability, an increasing number are turning to solar power. This shift away from dependence on the power grid offers significant cost savings and protection from unpredictable increases in electricity prices and unplanned power outages. To achieve optimal performance and longevity, it makes sense to invest in high-quality solar panels, says Frank Rovelli, CEO of Probe Corporation. 

“The quality of a solar panel significantly impacts its efficiency, durability and the return on investment for your business,” explains Rovelli. “High-quality solar panels convert sunlight into electricity more effectively, ensuring you get the most out of your solar system. They have longer lifespans, requiring less maintenance and providing a better return on investment over time.”

Innovations such as bi-facial modules and dual-glass panels have increased the efficiency, durability, and adaptability of solar panels. These advances have made solar energy a more viable option for businesses and homeowners alike. However, not all solar panels are created equal, and it is essential to choose reputable brands known for their quality products.

Choosing the right panels with advanced technology platforms ensures good integration with the rest of the system, and the ability to easily monitor status and performance, says Rovelli. “By prioritising quality, businesses harness the full potential of solar energy, achieving both environmental and economic sustainability. “

In Southern Africa, solar panels need to be hardy to deal with the wide range of weather conditions. “Weather and environmental factors such as rain, hail, lightning, and falling debris can damage the panels. In particular, hail, which is common in certain parts of South Africa, can cause significant physical damage,” says Rovelli. “This is where top quality pays off in the end.”

Probe Group’s alternative energy division, Probenergy, supplies Tier One solar panels across Southern Africa, including Mauritius, partnering with leading manufacturers like Trina Solar. ​ ​

“Our mission is to offer the best solar solutions available on the market. Trina Solar is an established name in the global solar industry and one of the top five panel manufacturers globally, breaking numerous solar PV world records in efficiency and power. With Trina Solar’s advanced technology we can confidently promise our clients significant energy savings and a robust return on investment,” says Rovelli. 

Southern Africa and Mauritius are key markets for Trina Solar, and the company is dedicated to advancing solar energy solutions that meet the growing energy demands. Trina Solar’s latest innovations in solar technology are designed to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and support the continent’s transition to renewable energy. 

Trina Solar panels offered by Probenergy showcase advanced technologies such as Multi Busbar (MBB) architecture, half-cell design, and bifacial capabilities to optimise energy generation and ensure long-term reliability for solar installations.

Trinasolar’s comprehensive solar solutions include industry-leading Vertex N modules with advanced n-type i-TOPCon technology and a 210mm product technology platform, the state-of-the-art TrinaTracker system, and cutting-edge energy storage solutions. These innovations ensure optimal performance and adaptability to varying project requirements, providing reliable, cost-effective, and scalable solar solutions. ​ Varying panels are available for different project needs, however many designs use the 545W ​ or 410W panels. 

Unlike many traditional solar panel producers offering a 25-year warranty, Trina Solar provides an exceptional 30-year linear performance warranty. This extended warranty period reflects the company’s conviction in the durability and lifespan of their products, says Rovelli.

“We believe Trina Solar products stand out due to their efficiency, reliability, and superior performance warranties,” says Rovelli. “The TrinaPro solution improves the interaction and synchronisation between solar panels and smart trackers, boosting overall system efficiency. They have pioneered dual-glass solar panels which offer increased robustness and reliability, making them the perfect fit for rooftop installations.”

Probenergy is committed to bringing the benefits of solar energy to Southern Africa with comprehensive, bespoke solar solutions. “We are excited about the future of renewable energy in our region. Our goal is to be at the forefront of this transition, offering top-tier solar solutions that meet the growing energy demands of our customers,” says Rovelli. “With Trina Solar Panels, users can expect superior performance, durability, and a significant return on investment. They are an excellent choice for anyone seeking to harness the power of the sun.”
