PERTH, Australia, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, Trinasolar's utility energy storage business, has been selected to supply the battery energy storage system (BESS) for Stage One of Frontier Energy's Waroona Renewable Energy Project in Western Australia.
Located 120 kilometres south of Perth, Waroona Stage One comprises a 132MW solar facility paired with an 81.5MW / 6.9-hour BESS and is one of the largest solar and battery hybrid projects on Western Australia's main electricity grid. First generation is scheduled from 2028.
Trina Storage will supply its Elementa utility-scale DC solution, comprising lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells produced at Trina's Changzhou battery plant. Trina's Elementa range of products incorporate intelligent liquid cooling and multiple layers of safety protection, including heat, gas and smoke detection and active fire protection systems.
Trina Storage draws on Trina Group's expertise across high-power PV modules and tracker systems, supporting a deeper understanding of solar plant design and system interfaces. The project will use a DC-coupled architecture, adding complexity to the design of the solar and storage system.
Warrick Stapleton, Head of Sales (APAC) for Trina Storage, said close collaboration was increasingly important as utility-scale storage projects became more sophisticated.
"We're pleased that Frontier Energy selected Trina Storage for this project. Our team worked closely with Frontier throughout the procurement process to understand the project requirements and demonstrate how our technology could support their objectives," said Mr. Stapleton.
"As Western Australia continues its energy transition, projects such as Waroona will play an increasingly important role in providing reliable, dispatchable capacity to the South West Interconnected System. We look forward to supporting Frontier through delivery and long-term operation of the asset."
Trina Storage's agreement for Stage One includes a 20-year warranty and performance guarantees, underpinning long-term asset performance and supporting the project's financing requirements.
"Western Australia is undergoing an energy transition, and Waroona Energy Park has the potential to support it through our integrated solar and battery strategy," said Adam Kiley, Chief Executive Officer of Frontier Energy. "Stage One is the foundation of our broader plans and is designed to support a more reliable and flexible electricity system."
Stage One forms part of Frontier Energy's longer-term plans for Waroona, with future stages expected to reach around 1,000MW of generation capacity and up to 660MW of battery capacity.

Trina Storage to Supply BESS for Major West Australia Solar and Battery Energy Storage System
LONGGANG, China, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dinto Solar has signed a 2026–2027 exclusive partnership agreement with Thailand-based JJ Energy Company Limited to expand the adoption of heterojunction (HJT) modules in Thailand's solar market and support further development across Southeast Asia. JJ Energy General Manager Kwon Joonghan and Dinto Solar Vice President Yang Zongyuan attended the signing ceremony.
Under the agreement, the partnership will begin with an initial supply of 30 MW of Dinto Solar's G12-132 HJT modules for commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop projects in Thailand. The two companies will also cooperate on market development, project delivery and customer service.
Founded in 2023, JJ Energy is a growing renewable-energy service provider and PV module distributor with an expanding local channel and project network. Its local market capabilities complement Dinto Solar's experience in HJT technology, manufacturing and project deployment.
Thailand's C&I solar market is being supported by extensive available rooftop space, growing demand from businesses to reduce electricity costs and optimize their energy mix, and investment incentives for solar power projects. For C&I users with limited rooftop area and high self-consumption, electricity generation per square meter and long-term operating performance are central to project economics.
Dinto Solar's G12-132 module features a superior temperature coefficient of -0.24%/°C, helping limit power loss under high operating temperatures. Butyl sealing and coated dual-glass design further improve airtightness, water resistance and weather durability in hot and humid environments.
The cooperation also opens opportunities in Southeast Asia's aquatic and coastal solar segments. The region's extensive coastlines and waterways offer considerable potential for floating PV, fishery-PV and offshore solar, where persistent humidity, salt mist and ultraviolet exposure place greater demands on module materials and encapsulation.
Designed for these conditions, Dinto Solar's Offshore-PV HJT series incorporates corrosion-resistant frames and light-conversion films. The modules have been deployed at the 300 MW Yancheng and 100 MW Denglong Township fishery-PV projects in China, providing practical experience for future applications in Southeast Asia.
By combining Dinto Solar's HJT technology and project experience with JJ Energy's local market capabilities, the partnership aims to support reliable solar deployment in Thailand while establishing a long-term platform for growth across Southeast Asia.
