CEO Talk: Module technology is evolving rapidly, even amid intense price competition. All the while, customers demand more power from their systems. Back contact cells represent the current pinnacle of development, but there’s more to be achieved. Where is the industry headed? We take a closer look.
A 200-kilometre urban road test of the Innoptus Solar Team's Infinite Apollo served as final validation for Longi's high-efficiency technology before the American Solar Challenge in July.
One platform, two milestones: a 28.13 percent cell measured in Hamelin and a 26.4 percent module logged in Colorado extend the Chinese manufacturer's long-term back-contact technology route.
Longi presents a fire-resistant module for commercial rooftops, Tesvolt introduces a new C&I battery system, Fronius shows a high-voltage battery up to 32 kWh, and Gokin Solar unveils its 700 W modules.
The Ahlsell Norge AS warehouse is now powered by Longi modules with HPBC 2.0 back-contact technology, creating Norway’s largest rooftop PV installation to date.
Entry into BloombergNEF’s Tier 1 storage ranking signals growing C&I demand and stricter bankability criteria, including deployment in projects of at least 10 MW or 10 MWh over the past two years.
Longi is recruiting service partners and staff for its European storage division, while JA Solar is preparing to launch a large-scale battery storage system later this year.
Longi is entering the storage market with an all-in-one solution and a strategy to become an integrated provider of solar, storage and hydrogen. The company’s new priorities centre on technology leadership and sector integration.
Our recommendation for maximising performance: keep modules in their temperature sweet spot. Recent TÜV tests with TOPCon and advanced back contact technologies show just how much this matters.
China’s largest dual-propulsion car carrier has been equipped with over 500 solar modules, combining LNG and PV to advance clean maritime operations.
Despite intense price competition, module efficiency keeps advancing as customers demand higher power. Back contact cells mark the peak of this progress. Where is the industry headed? Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, offers his insights.
BC technology may represent the cutting edge of solar, but considerable potential remains to enhance performance even further, particularly as the race for higher efficiency continues.
Longi’s Hi-MO X10 drops busbars, Heckert goes white grid, IBC adapts for larger flat-roof modules, and K2 adds 15° and 20° tilts – these are pv Europe’s top product picks this week.
Retail property group NEPI Rockcastle is using its latest solar project to boost the green energy supply for its shopping centres across Romania.
The Himo X10 module from Longi features a busbar-free cell connection and leverages the company’s proprietary Tairay wafers to deliver high performance with a streamlined, back-contact design.
Ahead of Intersolar, Longi has announced new efficiency records for both its back-contact and tandem solar cells – with its perovskite cell nearing 35 percent.
Hospitals, schools, shopping centres and warehouses are set to benefit from a new 102-MW collaboration between Longi and a Finnish energy provider that aims to lower electricity costs across key public infrastructure.
Chinese module manufacturer Longi is introducing its Hi-Mo X10 solar module to the DACH market. The module delivers up to 670 watts of power with an efficiency of 24.8 per cent.
Longi has upgraded the factory in Jiaxing, China, to produce Longi’s back contact modules featuring the new second generation of HPBC 2.0 - Hybrid Passivated Back Contact technology.
Chinese module manufacturer Longi is also presenting something new: the Hi-MO X6 Artist (Ultra Black) module has been redesigned. The black module focusses on aesthetics, as there is no visible front grille.
The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) has reached a milestone in its mission to create end-to-end transparency and promote responsible practices across the solar value chain with the publication of its Supply Chain Traceability Standard. It was unveiled last week at Sustainable Solar Europe Conference in Brussels.
Longi will supply PV modules for a 174 megawatt solar park that will be built by the Bulgarian based ECP contractor Solarpro. It is currently the largest of all existing or under-construction PV projects in Romania and is scheduled to go online in mid-2025.
