At the TaiyangNews Virtual Conference on Global PV System Technology Trends H1/2023 Jason Yan from LONGi presented the Chinese vertically integrated company's new Hi-MO 7 solar modules for utility scale applications. This is the latest product in the manufacturer's Hi-MO series and was launched during SNEC end of May 2023 (see LONGi Expands Hi-MO Series). Based on M10 n-type wafer size, Hi-MO 7 uses LONGi's HPDC cell, based on TOPCon technology, with high-precision SMBB interconnection technology. It has a bifaciality of 80±10% and temperature coefficient of -0.28% /°C. Weighing 31.8 kg, the module offers a power output of 580W and efficiency of 22.5%.
Yan shared the company's annual production target for Hi-MO 7 is 30 GW by the end of 2023 with a cell fab in Ordos, and module fab in Chuzhou and Jiaxing regions in China.
Our 2-days Conference took place from 27-28 June 2023 and saw solar industry leaders talk about the latest global PV technology trends for 2023 as seen at world largest solar trade shows SNEC Shanghai and Intersolar Munich.
