Trina Storage introduced Elementa 3, a next-generation utility-scale energy storage platform, at Solar & Storage Live KSA, positioning it as a higher-capacity, safer, and more cost-efficient system, according to Trina Storage via PR Newswire.
The system uses 587 Ah cells to deliver 6.25 MWh per cabinet, with a 12.3% boost in module energy density and a 24.7% increase in site-level energy density, helping lower LCOS, according to Trina Storage. Safety upgrades include optimized cell materials, liquid cooling at the module level, and a reinforced cabinet design rated for 2-hour full-cabinet fire resistance, the company said.
Engineered for Middle Eastern conditions, Elementa 3 features a C5-coated cabinet to withstand coastal salt spray and sand, IP67-rated modules for dust protection, and reliable operation up to 55 °C supported by a bionic cooling system, according to Trina Storage.
Trina Storage reported cumulative shipments of 12 GWh by mid-2025 and cited rapid regional execution, including a 300 MWh BESS in Egypt delivered and grid-connected in 60 days, according to the company. It added that it has been recognized as a BNEF Tier 1 energy storage supplier for seven consecutive quarters and included by S&P Global Commodity Insights in its Tier 1 lists for PV modules and storage systems.
The Kingdom is entering a transformative phase, with more than 57 gigawatts of solar and storage projects tendered under the National Renewable Energy Programme
, said Todd Li, Head of Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa at Trina Solar, citing company data. He noted the firm aims to support this momentum with integrated smart-energy solutions.
In summary, Elementa 3 targets higher energy density, robust safety, and regional durability, underscoring Trina Storage’s push to scale grid storage across the Middle East, according to the company.
