The NEG9R.28 440W that has just landed in Australia is a significant step up.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur deep understanding of the Australian market informed us that, besides power and efficiency, our customers look for modules that are capable of withstanding the diverse range of Australian climates,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trinasolar.com\/au\/resources\/newsroom\/autrina-solar-vertex-s-440wp-n-type-dual-glass-modules-arrive-australia\"> said<\/a> Edison Zhou, Country Manager, Trina Solar Australia. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that our Australian customers will find the new NEG9R.28 an excellent module option.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course he would say that. But Trina&#8217;s claimed understanding of the local market isn&#8217;t an idle boast as the company has had a presence here since at least 2010; so you&#8217;d think they have learned a thing or two over that time.

They haven&#8217;t been on the roof for a full year yet; but so far, so good &#8211; so far as I can tell. A couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/bird-proofing-solar-panels\/\">pigeons<\/a> took a liking to them too, but with persistence they moved on to easier poopings. My efforts in discouraging the flying rats also helped cement my status as the neighbourhood nutter. This is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Yet I digress. Looking at the specs of my 415W Vertex S+, which are a different series (NEG9.28 &#8211; up to 425W), the 415W are a little smaller: 1770\u00d71096 mm. But the 400W NEG9R.28 is surprisingly around 400 grams lighter than the NEG9.28.<\/p>\n<p>Trina Solar has enjoyed significant success in Australia, both among installers and Australians living under their panels.
