LONGi Signs Major Agreement for Solar Expansion in Africa
The Solar & Storage Live Africa event was held at the Johannesburg Convention and Exhibition Centre. During this exhibition, LONGi made a significant mark by unveiling its Hi-MO X10 modules, which are recognized for their high efficiency across various scenarios within the global distributed solar market. This event marked an important collaboration as LONGi signed strategic agreements with multiple partners in Africa, furthering its commitment to expanding solar initiatives on the continent.
High-Performance Modules Capture Attention
At the exhibition, LONGi showcased the Hi-MO X10 series, which includes various innovative options such as the single-glass and double-glass designs. The modules are acclaimed for their aesthetic appeal and exceptional safety features, making them a focal point at the event. Participants were drawn to their remarkable efficiency and high returns on investment.
Demonstrating Innovation and Reliability
LONGi also presented a dynamic shadow occlusion demonstration area that allowed attendees to interact by simulating scenarios such as shading from roof elements and dust accumulation. This hands-on experience enabled visitors to witness the power generation stability differences between Hi-MO X10 modules and traditional TOPCon modules.
Recognition of Hi-MO X10's Overall Value
The African customers expressed concerns regarding energy reliability and returns. During the exhibition, LONGi’s Africa team highlighted the core advantages of the Hi-MO X10, which is built on advanced HPBC 2.0 cell technology. This new generation of modules can achieve maximum mass production power of 670W. Notably, under similar sizes, these modules offer a 30W power increase compared to existing TOPCon modules. The component efficiency of the mass-produced units can reach an impressive 24.8%, maximizing the energy yield from limited installation spaces and providing significant returns for customers.
Ensuring Safety and Performance
To ensure safety and reduce potential power losses due to shading, Hi-MO X10 modules include a unique bypass diode structure. This mechanism diminishes power loss and mitigates local overheating by over 28% in comparison to conventional cells. Such innovations guarantee stable operations while ensuring roof safety, without concerns regarding elevated temperatures.
Sun Xianming, CEO of LONGi's African office, emphasized the vital role of solar energy, stating, "Solar energy is not an alternative energy source for Africa but an indispensable necessity." The commitment of Hi-MO X10 to provide efficient and sustainable energy solutions underscores the organization's dedication to addressing the energy needs of families and businesses alike. The signing of the 555MW agreement symbolizes both partners' confidence in LONGi’s technological prowess and leadership within the photovoltaic industry.
