MUNICH,May 12, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- LONGi Solar is proud to announce that its Hi-MO X10 back contact module is among the winners of the annual Smarter E AWARD 2025 in the Photovoltaics category. The award was presented inMunich, on the eve of The smarterE Europeexhibition, ahead of Intersolar 2025. LONGi is the only Chinese module manufacturer who win the award.
The Hi-MO X10 was recognized for its contribution to advancing module technology through the integration of LONGi's proprietary second-generation Hybrid Passivated Back Contact (HPBC 2.0) technology that is based on the highly efficient LONGi TaiRay wafer. According to the jury's summary, the module's Anti-shading technology furthermore reduces the loss of power output by 70% and decreases localized temperatures by up to 28%, reducing the risk of hotspots and system fires. The jury further praised the zero-busbar (0BB) structure and the module's Bipolar Hybrid Passivation Technology which brings significant improvements in efficiency, mechanical characteristics and reliability. All in all, the Hi-MO X10 would set new standards for performance and reliability of PV modules.
The Hi-MO X10 delivers a maximum power output of up to 670W, outperforms TOPCon modules by as much as 30W, with a module efficiency of 24.8%. The integration of zero busbar (0BB) technology enhances light absorption, improving performance in diffuse light—an advantage in markets with frequent overcast conditions. Designed for long-term reliability, the Hi-MO X10 features just 1% degradation in the first year and a 0.35% annual linear degradation rate. Its improved power temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C ensures dependable output in both hot and moderate climates.
First launched inOctober 2024, the Hi-MO X10 has already been widely adopted in European markets. The module represents LONGi's strategic focus on R&D driven back contact innovation to meet performance, aesthetics and application requirements in a changing energy landscape.
