The scene of LONGi's new product launch conference
On May 7, LONGi, the world's leading solar technology company, released a new record for crystalline silicon cell efficiency and a new generation of ultra-high-value module Hi-MO 9 in Madrid, Spain. More than 200 people, including Li Zhenguo, Founder and President of LONGi Green Energy, She Haifeng, Vice President of LONGi Green Energy, Dr. Xu Xixiang, Chief Scientist of LONGi Green Energy and Vice President of Academia Sinica, as well as global customer representatives and media reporters, witnessed this grand moment.
Based on high-efficiency HPBC 2.0 cell technology, the Hi-MO 9 module integrates a variety of advanced technologies, with core advantages such as higher power generation capacity, lower BOS cost and higher reliability, with a maximum power of 660W and a conversion efficiency of up to 24.43%.

The limit charge is endless, and the photovoltaic efficiency has made another breakthrough
At the press conference, LONGi unveiled to the world the new efficiency record of BC technology just set by its R&D team. Certified by the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) in Hamelin, Germany, LONGi's self-developed back-contact crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell (HBC) has a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 27.30%, once again setting a new world record for the conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. This is another breakthrough after LONGi set a world record of 27.09% in HBC cell conversion efficiency in December 2023, and also represents LONGi's confidence and strength in the high conversion efficiency and mass-produced process of BC cell technology. Prior to this, LONGi has broken the cell efficiency world record 16 times, and has become the "double champion" of the two major track cell efficiency world records of crystalline silicon single-junction cells and crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cells.

With the high-energy blessing of BC technology, the power generation efficiency has reached its peak
The HPBC 2.0 technology carried by Hi-MO 9 is based on the BC technology platform, using LONGi's own high-quality Terry's silicon wafers, combined with LONGi's innovative and self-developed composite passivation technology, to greatly optimize and upgrade the light absorption, photoelectric conversion and current transmission capabilities of the battery. With the empowerment of the new generation of high-efficiency power generation technology, the power generation efficiency and reliability performance of Hi-MO 9 modules in the whole life cycle have taken off, and it will bring users around the world a peak experience that surpasses the limit with unparalleled value benefits.
With many power generation "stunts", the Hi-MO 9 can generate electricity efficiently even in harsh outdoor environments such as high temperature and humidity, even in the case of uneven light irradiation, and the value of end customers is instantly full.
Undaunted by extreme challenges, the "lighthouse standard" is reimagined as extremely reliable
It is worth mentioning that as the first lighthouse factory in the global photovoltaic industry, LONGi's Jiaxing lighthouse factory has been at the forefront of the industry in the application of automation, industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digitalization, big data analysis, and fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), which also means that LONGi has the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global photovoltaic industry. The dual escort of the lighthouse factory and the "LONGi Product Life Cycle Standard" fundamentally guarantees the ultra-high quality and ultimate reliability of Hi-MO 9 products. It is understood that in terms of raw material control, LONGi's material introduction standards, incoming material inspection standards, and material performance monitoring plans are all industry benchmarks. In terms of process quality control, in LONGi's automated intelligent workshop, 338 process controls and 153 quality inspections can be achieved in the 22-level manufacturing process. In terms of finished product reliability monitoring, LONGi conducts monthly, quarterly, and annual reliability performance tests, and uninterrupted reliability performance tests will cover each product and each set of BOM to fully ensure the reliability of finished products.
As LONGi's blockbuster new product of the year, Hi-MO 9 is expected to achieve large-scale mass production in the fourth quarter of this year, marking the arrival of a new era of photovoltaics.
Unlimited earnings, delivered with you. Driven by the wave of BC technology, LONGi will always anchor the "first principles", explore the limits beyond the limits, and continue to provide more valuable photovoltaic products and green energy solutions for the global energy market. Once again, Hi-MO 9 will become a new industry benchmark, and it will inject unlimited momentum into the realization of the dream of a green energy world and a zero-carbon earth as a leader.
