LONGi's Milestone in Renewable Energy
Recently, the photovoltaic (PV) power plant at Longfei Wood Products Factory was successfully connected to the power grid, marking a significant achievement for the HPBC 2.0 distributed PV technology. This plant has officially begun its commercial operations, showcasing the benefits of innovative solar technology.
Outstanding Energy Generation Performance
With an installed capacity of 2.2 MW, the Longfei Wood Products Factory PV power plant utilizes cutting-edge HPBC 2.0 dual-glass PV modules developed by LONGi. Each module has a power capacity of 630W, enabling the plant to generate an impressive annual output of 3.2 million kWh. This not only supplies electricity to the factory but also results in approximately 1.2 million RMB in annual electricity sales revenue.
Comparative Performance Insights
The HPBC 2.0 modules offer exceptional power generation performance compared to traditional TOPCon PV technology, resulting in an additional 110,000 kWh of electricity annually, leading to a 3.56% gain in power output. Moreover, these dual-glass modules increase installed capacity by 5%, thereby achieving an 8.56% improvement in power generation efficiency.
Installation Efficiency and Customized Solutions
Efficient PV systems, complemented by tailored construction solutions, play a vital role in enhancing energy output and reducing overall project costs. This project employed a ground-mounted installation method at the optimal tilt angle to maximize solar radiation absorption, which is crucial for increasing efficiency. In fact, the ground-mounted system generates 25% more power compared to flat rooftop installations, which also allows easier maintenance and lower operational costs.
Revolutionary Advances in PV Technology
LONGi’s introduction of the HPBC 1.0 cell technology marked the beginning of a new era in PV technology, paving the way for the HPBC 2.0. This second-generation technology builds upon its predecessor, addressing critical challenges associated with cell substrates and manufacturing processes. Notably, its mass production cell efficiency has surpassed 26.6%, solidifying its position as a leading PV cell technology globally.
Durability Under Extreme Conditions
The HPBC 2.0 technology demonstrates superior resilience against environmental factors. It outperforms TOPCon modules in terms of UV resistance, damp heat, and thermal cycling, with a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C—a notable enhancement over typical performance. In extreme cold conditions, such as those found in regions where temperatures can drop below -30°C, these modules deliver reliable energy solutions while maintaining functionality.
Long-Term Sustainability and Development
The establishment of HPBC 2.0 PV power plants signifies a pivotal shift for industries historically reliant on timber, such as the wood products factory. This transition represents a move toward economic practices that prioritize ecological sustainability. Additionally, as the BC technology ecosystem expands, LONGi remains committed to partnering with others to implement premium PV power plants designed for commercial and industrial sectors.
These efforts not only highlight the key advantages of the HPBC technology—superior power generation, enhanced reliability, and extended durability—but also reinforce the importance of renewable energy as a cornerstone of sustainable development across various industries.
