LONGi has received AQM awards for PV module energy yield simulation, reliability and outdoor energy yield at the TÜV Rheinland Group’s 10th All Quality Matters (AQM) Solar and ESS congress.
The first two awards were in recognition of the exceptional power generation performance and proven reliability of the company’s innovative Hi-MO 9 module, with its Hi-MO X6 product receiving that for outdoor energy yield in the monofacial group, marking LONGi’s eighth consecutive year of winning the award in the module category.
Given the ever increasing need for modules to withstand extreme weather conditions and have a lifespan of 25 years or more to ensure long term benefits for power plants, a new reliability award was introduced in the module category, complementing the conventional energy yield simulation award.
Against this backdrop, the Hi-MO 9 module underwent rigorous sampling and specialized testing according to TÜV Rheinland’s evaluation standards, the tests simulating its power generation performance in different geographical and weather conditions, as well as assessing its long-term stability and reliability when exposed to extreme weather during real-life operations. The Hi-MO 9 features HPBC 2.0 cell technology, LONGi’s high-quality Tairay silicon wafers and composite passivation technology, these advancements significantly enhancing cells’ light absorption, photovoltaic conversion and current transmission capabilities. Empowered by this new-generation high-efficiency power generation technology, the Hi-MO 9 can efficiently generate electricity even in harsh outdoor environments characterized by uneven light irradiation, high temperatures and humidity.
Another LONGi product, the Hi-MO X6 module, carried off the PV Module Outdoor Energy Yield AQM award in the monofacial group, showing a notable performance boost compared to standard modules. The Hi-MO X6 (Anti-dust) module in particular, tested over a seven-month period by China’s National Center of Quality Supervision and Inspection for Photovoltaic Products (CPVT), delivered an average monthly power generation increase of 2.84%, peaking at 5.4% in January. It also operated at temperatures 4.01% lower than conventional modules, significantly reducing power loss and improving overall reliability.
Company VP Dennis She took part in a Leaders Forum during the congress. In an address to attendees, he emphasized the need for continuous innovation among PV companies in response to industry fluctuations and challenges amid global economic pressure and fierce market competition, also expressing confidence that LONGi’s BC cell technology, known for its ultra-high efficiency and reliability, will bring a new leap in commercial value to the end market.
