Trina Vertex S+ 460W TOPCon Double Glass Panel TSM460-NEG9R.28
Trina Solar Vertex S+ TSM460-NEG9R.28 module, 460 Wp N-Type i-TOPCon double-glass monofacial (not bifacial, unlike its twin NEG9RC.27). Efficiency up to 23%, 25-year product warranty and 30-year power warranty. PFAS-free certified.
The Trina Solar Vertex S+ TSM460-NEG9R.28 photovoltaic module is a 460 W N-Type i-TOPCon double-glass panel, with efficiency up to 23,0%. Despite its double-glass construction, this NEG9R.28 variant is monofacial: the rear glass is used for mechanical strength and durability, not for rear-side production, unlike the bifacial NEG9RC.27 variant from the same Vertex S+ family.
Why choose a monofacial double-glass module?
Double glass reduces the risk of micro-cracks and scratches on the rear during transport and installation, while also improving resistance to salt mist, ammonia, and corrosion, making it suitable for coastal or agricultural installations as well. Triple-cut N-Type cells and multi-busbar technology improve current collection and reduce series resistance compared to standard full-cell modules.

What is the difference compared to the bifacial variant from the same family?
The code NEG9R.28 identifies the monofacial variant of the Vertex S+: it produces only from the front side. The Vertex S+ family also includes the NEG9RC.27 model, physically similar but bifacial, capable of generating energy from the rear side as well on installations with good albedo. Confusing them when ordering is a common mistake, because both are double-glass and have very similar codes.
What does the supply include?

- IEC, PID, salt mist, and ammonia certifications included per batch
Frequently asked questions
Is the TSM460-NEG9R.28 bifacial since it has double glass?
No: despite the double glass, this variant is monofacial and produces only from the front side. The rear glass is used for mechanical resistance, not to generate energy from the rear. The bifacial variant in the same series has the code NEG9RC.27.
Is it suitable for installations in coastal environments?
Yes, the manufacturer certifies it for resistance to salt mist and ammonia corrosion, typical conditions in coastal and agricultural areas.
How much power does it lose over time?
The power warranty covers 30 years, with declared degradation of 1% in the first year and 0,4% per year in subsequent years, typical values for high-end N-Type modules.
Is it compatible with already installed inverters?
Yes, the manufacturer declares it compatible with the main existing inverters and mounting systems, without requiring dedicated components.
Is it a PFAS-free product?
Yes, the module is certified PFAS free by the manufacturer, an increasingly requested requirement in public tender specifications and project environmental certifications.
