LONGi has reached a new record conversion efficiency of 25.82% for its commercial-sized heterojunction (HJT) solar cells.

Validated by the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH), the achievement has seen the manufacturer beat a previous record of 25.26%, which it set less than five months ago when it also achieved a record cell efficiency for a p-type monocrystalline bifacial TOPCon solar cell of 25.02%.
