The company aims to demonstrate its commitment to innovation by bringing a world record-breaking tandem solar cell based on combining heterojunction technology (HJT) with perovskite superposited onto commercial CZ silicon wafers, achieving 31.8% conversion efficiency.

In addition to upstream innovation, LONGi presents a new digital platform for end-to-end lifecycle management of utility-scale solar projects.

LONGi VP Dennis She also explains that although there is great interest in the PV industry moving towards N-type, the emphasis should always be on delivering customer value, rather than considering technology for its own sake.
