Trinasolar achieved a world record power output of 886 W with its 3.1 m² perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem solar module, announced on January 22, 2026. This marks the 38th record for Trinasolar and highlights the significance of perovskite-silicon tandem technologies for future space energy demands.

As global computing infrastructure expands into Low Earth Orbit (LEO), space solar is recognized as a vital solution for sustainable energy in satellite constellations and deep-space exploration. Traditional gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells are expensive, leading to a shift towards crystalline silicon and perovskite technologies.

Trinasolar's R&D in space solar spans over a decade, with notable efficiencies achieved in various cell types. The company holds 698 patent applications in tandem technologies and maintains exclusive licensing from Oxford PV in China, enhancing its leadership in the space PV market.
