Photo voltaic Module Tremendous League (SMSL) member LONGi has launched a brand new half-cut cell module model to its HiMO5 product vary that has been designed particularly for the European market.
The module is predicated on the worldwide commonplace M10 wafer measurement and options 66 cells and a brand new body design that permits installers to place modules each horizontally in addition to vertically. Brackets can connect to each the shorter sides of the body and the longer ones, which LONGi stated would maximise house out there for tasks.
“Planning turns into much more versatile when modules aren’t restricted to vertical set up,” stated LONGi. “And the module can be suitable with commonplace set up methods.”
The corporate has adjusted the variety of cells for the brand new module, modifying and reinforcing the design to make sure adequate mechanical stability, it stated in a press release. The brand new model is predicated on know-how from LONGi’s HiMO5 vary, from which it has already equipped greater than 30GW of capability to merchandise.
Merchandise within the firm’s HiMO5 vary are designed with gallium-doped half-cut cells and resistance towards gentle ageing due to the low-LID know-how. The modules have already been recognised a number of instances as “Excessive Achievers” and “High Performers” by RETC and PVEL, and have been additionally honoured with the Intersolar Award in 2021.
The module maker shipped greater than 18GW of monocrystalline modules in H1 of this yr, with it rising concentrating on a beefed up European market given present import restrictions in place within the US.
Within the interim report, LONGi revealed info on its new cell know-how for the primary time. The corporate stated it’ll proceed to advertise the mass manufacturing and transformation of latest highly-efficient cells and modules on the idea of fine cost-performance and commercialisation with a purpose to construct a differentiated product portfolio with long-term competitiveness.
It additionally referred to as TOPCon know-how “transitionary” because it sinks extra effort and funding into the event of Hybrid Passivated Again Contact (HPBC) cell know-how, which it believes will dominate the market in years to return.
