LONGi unveiled EcoLife, Hi-MO X10, and Hi-MO 9 modules, targeting Australia’s residential, C&I, and utility applications, respectively
Hi-MO X10’s lightweight design addresses rooftop load constraints common in Australian buildings
Hi-MO 9 offers hail resistance for up to 55 mm hailstones travelling at 33.9 m/s
Leading vertically integrated solar manufacturer LONGi showcased its latest PV modules for the Australian residential, commercial & industrial (C&I), and utility sector at All Energy Australia 2025.
The company showcased the EcoLife module for the residential segment, featuring a 54-cell, dual-glass, all-black design with a rated efficiency of up to 25% and 510 W power output. Without sharing too many details about the cell technology, the company stated that this module offers enhanced aesthetics with its busbar-free (ZBB) front side architecture. It utilizes an ultrathin ribbon-based cell-to-cell interconnection on the backside, which helps reduce the potential risk of microcracks along the edges of cells compared to the standard solder-based Z-type interconnection method.
Also on display was the company’s Hi-MO X10 series lightweight module. According to the company, it is engineered for Australia’s C&I rooftops where module weight and the roof’s load-carrying capacity are critical.
Equipped with back contact (BC) half-cut cells, this module is rated for a maximum power output of 560 W and an efficiency of up to 24.8%. With a weight of 7.2 kg/m², it reduces roof load by up to 32% compared to standard single-glass modules. The company states that the module’s nominal operating temperature is lower by up to 7.4°C compared to its TOPCon counterpart. This, in turn, minimizes the potential risks of hot-spot defects caused by dusty environments.
The company promoted its Hi-MO 9 series module for the utility sector. This hail-resistant module
is rated for up to 55 mm hailstones traveling at 33.9 m/s, even at an angle of 30° with respect to the ground level.
