At the UK launch of LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 module, PV Tech spoke with the company’s Europe president, Leon Zhang, about his belief that back contact technology represents the future of crystalline silicon PV.

LONGi and the School of Materials at Sun Yat-sen have developed HJT back contact solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 27.09%.

Chinese module manufacturer LONGi has launched a new black dual-glass back contact module with a 22.3% conversion efficiency.

LONGi has set a new record for power conversion efficiency for silicon heterojunction back-contact (HBC) cells, of 27.3%.

LONGi has chosen to develop back-contact (BC) cells, again based on n-type technology, announcing plans to invest RMB3.92 billion (US$536 million) on production. Future cells will be based on the company’s HPBC ‘PRO’ high-efficiency technology, with roll-out expected to gradually commence from November 2024, reaching full capacity a year later.

Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi has announced that it had shipped over 1GW of solar modules to the Middle East distribution solar market by the second quarter of 2023.

After a two-year hiatus, this long-awaited reunion brought exhibitors and visitors numbers to a record high, where PV companies showcased new products, launched new technologies and showcased new ideas at the show. PV Tech's English and Chinese teams participated and reported the full event.

LONGi has drawn PV industry attention and speculation after revealing plans for a large-scale wafer and cell manufacturing expansion.

Solar Module Super League (SMSL) member LONGi has launched a new PV module for the distributed generation (DG) and rooftop market.

Europe must build out its own large-scale, vertically integrated solar PV manufacturing base as a means to ensure its clean energy transition.
