Our Business Development Unit is leading the expansion of our renewable energy operations across Europe, with a strong focus on solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in key regions such as the Balkans, Nordics, Poland, and Romania. We are currently evaluating over 2.2 GW of solar capacity and 1.3 GWh of BESS projects, paving the way for a cleaner and more reliable energy grid in both mature and rapidly growing markets.
Our strategy targets emerging regions across Europe. From early-stage project development to detailed engineering assessments and financial modelling, our holistic approach ensures that every project is both technically sound and financially sustainable.
Since launching our growth plan in 2022, we have established long-term foundations in three key markets, including Hungary, Germany, and Serbia. In Serbia, we have taken an aggressive approach, positioning Trina ISBU to capitalise on the rapidly evolving energy landscape. Our matured portfolio across these countries has already reached 1 GW in combined solar PV and BESS capacity.
Thanks to our highly skilled team and flexible organizational structure, we have successfully identified strong local partners, understood market fundamentals, and developed the best investment strategies. Our thorough due diligence process is brought to the Investment Board, enabling us to move forward confidently.
Upon successful transactions, we swiftly establish local offices, recruit talent, and set the groundwork for executing the implementation phase, ensuring smooth project execution and long-term success.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells.
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity during cloudy or rainy days, though at reduced efficiency. They rely on direct and diffuse sunlight, so they can produce energy even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.
Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. Their efficiency may decrease slightly over time, but they typically remain effective for many years.
Through a wind turbine that transforms the kinetic energy of the air currents into electrical energy. The extraction process is mainly carried out by the rotor, which transforms the kinetic energy into mechanical energy, and the generator, which transforms that mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Key factors include wind speed and consistency, local regulations and zoning, turbine size and type, and potential impacts on wildlife and the environment. Site assessment and expert consultation are essential.
Wind turbines do produce noise, which mainly comes from the rotating blades and mechanical components. However, modern turbines are designed to minimize noise, and the sound is usually comparable to that of a refrigerator or air conditioning unit from a distance.
Battery storage systems store electrical energy for later use. They charge during periods of excess electricity generation (e.g., sunny or windy days) and discharge when demand is high or renewable generation is low, helping to balance the energy supply.
Common types of batteries used in energy storage include lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular due to their high energy density, long life, and efficiency.
