LONGi Solar Australia has launched its latest innovation at the 2024 edition of the country’s Smart Energy Council conference and expo in Sydney. The highly anticipated Hi-MO X6 ‘Guardian’ anti-dust module promises to revolutionise the solar industry with its groundbreaking design aimed at addressing the persistent issue of dirt accumulation.
In a presentation delivered by national sales manager Brett Robinson, event attendees were introduced to the new module, which features a short-end-frame design, developed after extensive research and testing, that ensures it remains clean and free of debris, maximising performance and longevity.
Robinson explained: “Our global customer satisfaction survey revealed that dirt accumulation was a major concern for solar panel owners, leading to power loss and reduced performance. With the new module, we have addressed this issue head-on by redesigning the frame to minimise the risk of hot spots and muck accumulation.”
The product has undergone over 1,000 reliability tests and 500 days of on-site verification to ensure its durability and performance, the module also combining the benefits of reduced maintenance requirements and lower risk of damage.
Smart Energy CEO John Grimes congratulated LONGi on the launch, commenting: “It’s all about innovation, and continuous innovation. Innovations like not having to clean your solar panels – well, that’s a jolly good thing…. congratulations to LONGi Solar, to the whole team here in Australia, and really keen to stay in touch with LONGi for many years to come.”
