Longi has released its new module for the distributed generation market: Hi-MO 6. Using hybrid passivated back contact (HPBC) cells, Hi-MO 6 achieves 22.8% efficiency in mass production.
HPBC is Longi’s new generation of high-efficiency solar cell technology that has no front-side busbars. Longi says that modules equipped with HPBC cell technology can generate a greater volume of energy under high-temperature and low-irradiation conditions and also have superior power degradation performance. In global power generation simulations, Hi-MO 6 modules have demonstrated a significant power generation advantage over PERC products with an average power generation increase of up to 10% in typical scenarios.
The Hi-MO 6 employs back contact soldering technology, which uses the one-line soldering structure rather than the traditional Z-shaped structure to enhance the module’s resistance to cracking.
The Hi-MO 6 includes four series — Explorer, Scientist, Guardian and Artist — all of which are in Longi’s standard M10 (182mm) wafer size and are available in 72-, 66-, 60- and 54-cell types. There is also an option to have a smart optimizer pre-installed. The power classes of the four series: Explorer: 570 W; Scientist: 585 W; Guardian: unknown; Artist: unknown. The Artist series is available in a variety of color tints.
“Longi has driven industry development throughout the years with high-quality technical innovation. The flagship Hi-MO series modules have contributed to upgrading global energy structure. The Hi-MO 6 is another solid step toward promoting energy equity,” commented Longi’s VP Dennis She. “Longi aims to collaborate with more partners to participate in the new energy revolution, provide clean energy solution that is equally accessible to all, and accelerate our planet’s energy transformation and development.”
