LONGi Solar half cell solar modules for Europe: M10 wafer size with 66 cells - Longi Hi-MO 5m (G2) | LR5-66HIH | 490~410M

LONGi, one of the world's leading solar technology companies, is expanding its successful HiMO5 product family with another half-cell module version developed specifically for European markets. It is based on the globally standardized M10 wafer size and has 66 cells and a newly designed frame. This means that it can easily be fixed to the short frame sides for installation in landscape format in order to optimize the use of space in large open-space systems. With conventional modules of the same size or larger, fixing on the short sides is only possible to a very limited extent or increases the assembly and material costs.

Significantly more system design variants

The new module version HiMO5m with 66 cells is ideal for applications such as landscape format systems in the utility sector. It makes system planning significantly more flexible compared to pure portrait format installation and is compatible with common mounting systems.

For example, 6-row landscape format systems can be implemented, which would otherwise require significantly more mounting rails and clamps. Mixed forms, in which the module clamps are mounted partly on the short side and partly on the long side, are also possible.

Combination of cell know-how and frame engineering

The new module version is based on the successful HiMO5 technology. LONGi has already delivered over 30 gigawatts of this product family with gallium-doped half cells. For the new version, LONGi has adjusted the number of cells and changed and strengthened the design to ensure sufficient mechanical stability.

Longi's HiMO5 series products are characterized by longevity, low photoaging thanks to Low LID technology and high quality. The modules have already received multiple awards from RETC and PVEL and are Intersolar Award 2021 winners.

Largest solar cell manufacturers worldwide by sales in 2021 – Image: Xpert.Digital

In 2020, Aiko was the largest solar cell manufacturer in the world with sales of 31.3 gigawatts. Of the ten largest solar cell manufacturers listed, seven are based in China.

Photovoltaic market worldwide

Worldwide, the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems is increasing every year. Most recently, most power has been newly installed in Asia in particular, followed by a large margin in Europe. Cumulatively, around a third of the installed photovoltaic capacity is installed in China. Around a tenth of the total global PV output is located in Germany.

Classification in renewable energies

In contrast to fossil energy sources such as coal, renewable energy sources are renewable. The share of renewable energies in electricity generation in Germany has increased significantly in recent years. Within renewable energies, wind power is the energy source with the highest electricity generation in this country. With the help of photovoltaics, around a fifth of the electricity was recently generated from renewable energies. Worldwide, the share of photovoltaics in total electricity production from renewable energies was around ten percent.
