LONGi has announced that its Hi-MO X10 back contact module is among the winners of the annual Smarter E AWARD 2025 in the photovoltaics category. The award was presented in Munich, on the eve of The smarter E/Intersolar Europe exhibition, LONGi being the only Chinese module manufacturer to be recognised.
The Hi-MO X10, first launched in October 2024, was recognized for its contribution to advancing module technology through the integration of the company’s proprietary second-generation Hybrid Passivated Back Contact (HPBC 2.0) technology, based on its highly efficient TaiRay wafer. According to the jury’s summary, the module’s anti-shading technology reduces the loss of power output by 70% and decreases localized temperatures by up to 28%, reducing the risk of hotspots and system fires. The jury further praised the zero-busbar (0BB) structure and the module’s Bipolar Hybrid Passivation Technology which brings significant improvements in efficiency, mechanical characteristics and reliability.
The integration of zero busbar (0BB) technology enhances light absorption, improving performance in diffuse light—an advantage in markets with frequent overcast conditions. Designed for long-term reliability, the Hi-MO X10 features just 1% degradation in the first year and a 0.35% annual linear degradation rate, its improved power temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C ensuring dependable output in both hot and moderate climates.
