LONGi is once again making waves by increasing the efficiency and longevity of solar panels on the market.

The Chinese technology The company recently deployed the Hi-MO X10 solar module series at the Rolex Shanghai Masters tennis tournament, as well as Detailed interesting engineering.

The second generation hybrid passivated back contact modules are designed for use in the distributed solar sector. The company said the module “marks a significant upgrade and technological leap” in a press release.

The stats for the Hi-MO Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) 30 watt competitors, by LONGi. Additionally, the module achieves an absolute efficiency jump of 1% thanks to a maximum power conversion efficiency of 24.8%.

The advantages over TOPCon don’t stop there. LONGi claims Hi-Mo X10 panels are designed over their 30-year lifespan to withstand extreme weather conditions events, such as droughts And violent stormsIt is more and more on the rise.

The company claims the new module will protect against shadows and hot spots, reducing power losses by 70% compared to TOPCon. Shading and hotspots occur when trees or buildings are obscured solar panelswhich frequently happens in distributed solar, as noted by PV Tech.

It attributes a “soft breakdown design that allows blocked current to bypass shadowed or hot spot affected areas by redirecting it to alternative internal pathways within the cell,” according to the release. The design reduces hot spot temperatures by 28% because it reduces power losses and optimizes power production by redirecting current.

In general, Hi-Mo X10 panels are designed to withstand heat, humidity and UV exposure to preserve their long-term performance. LONGi indicates that the rate of degradation in the first year is only 1%, alongside an annual linear degradation of 0.35%. It offers its customers a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year power supply warranty.

LONGi’s continued progress in solar energy technology is good news for clean energy sector. The company recently set a world record for efficiency with a power conversion of 34.6% on a prototype, by Interesting Engineering.

Rapid growth solar energy is a key renewable energy source as the world moves away from dirty energy and burn fossil fuels that are warm the planet.

Addressing issues of sustainability and efficiency of solar panels will contribute greatly to making the technology more desirable and profitable for governments, businesses and consumers looking to install signs of their own accord.

LONGi is confident that its technology will become the global standard in solar energy and is aiming high.

“We firmly believe this will become the dominant force in crystalline silicon cells, including bifacial and monofacial designs,” said President Zhong Baoshen.

“Our mission is to promote this widely recognized technology platform, which offers high compatibility and excellent weather resistance, to a wider range of applications and markets. »
