Weekly Tech Insights: LONGi Advances Hi-MO X10 & Hi-MO 9, Growatt Explores Floating Solar, JinkoSolar Expands Sunny 365 Solar-Storage, Hoymiles Powers Rooftops with MIT-5000-8T

LONGi and AGS International have deployed Hi-MO X10 645 W modules for a grid-connected warehouse rooftop project in Riyadh, delivering approximately 200 kWp of installed solar capacity. The technology focus is on extracting more energy from constrained commercial rooftop space through higher module power output. By converting underutilized warehouse roofs into generation assets, the installation demonstrates how high-efficiency PV can support C&I facilities in reducing grid electricity consumption and improving long-term energy efficiency. The project also showcases the growing application of advanced distributed PV technology in Saudi Arabia’s commercial and industrial sector.


Growatt puts the spotlight on floating photovoltaic technology, examining how solar deployment can move beyond conventional land-based installations and unlock water surfaces for clean electricity generation. Floating PV represents an emerging technology pathway for markets facing land constraints, while offering opportunities to improve resource utilisation by deploying PV systems on reservoirs and other suitable water bodies. The technology requires specialised consideration of system design, environmental conditions, electrical infrastructure and long-term reliability. Growatt’s focus on the segment highlights how new PV deployment models can broaden the physical boundaries of solar generation as global renewable capacity continues to expand.


LONGi is set to supply its Hi-MO 9 modules for Innovo Renewables’ 71 MWp solar portfolio in Italy, highlighting the deployment of next-generation module technology in utility-scale European projects. Hi-MO 9 is built around LONGi’s back-contact technology platform, designed to support high conversion efficiency and stronger energy generation performance. The deployment demonstrates how advanced cell and module architectures are moving from technology development into large commercial applications. For utility-scale developers, improvements in module efficiency can translate into higher power density and better utilisation of project land, making module technology an increasingly important part of overall plant optimisation.


JinkoSolar is extending its Sunny 365 platform to supermarkets and retail facilities through an integrated PV-storage architecture combining Tiger Neo 3.0 modules with SunGiga G2 liquid-cooled C&I storage. Tiger Neo 3.0 offers output up to 670 W, efficiency of 24.8%, bifaciality of 85% ±5% and a temperature coefficient as low as -0.26%/°C. The solution is designed to address high daytime electricity costs while simplifying system integration. JinkoSolar is also combining design, delivery, warranty and service capabilities into a full-stack implementation model for commercial solar-plus-storage projects.


LONGi has launched LONGi ONE in Egypt as an integrated technology ecosystem combining photovoltaic generation, battery energy storage, digital intelligence and lifecycle services. Built around the concept of “One System, One Platform, One Responsibility,” the platform is designed for utility-scale solar-plus-storage, C&I installations and challenging grid environments. Its technology stack includes high-efficiency PV, modular battery storage, intelligent battery management, safety protection and AI-supported energy optimisation. Rather than operating solar and storage as separate assets, LONGi ONE focuses on coordinated system operation to optimise energy utilisation, reliability and long-term project performance.


Hoymiles’ MIT-5000-8T microinverter takes centre stage in a commercial rooftop solar project in Hyderabad, demonstrating how higher-power microinverter architecture can be applied beyond smaller residential installations. The 5,000 W microinverter supports eight-module connectivity and incorporates four independent MPPTs, enabling module-level flexibility across complex rooftop layouts. The Hyderabad installation uses 23 MIT-5000-8T units across a 133 kW DC/115 kW AC system. By extending microinverter technology into larger commercial rooftops, the project highlights an alternative system architecture focused on granular power optimisation, flexible design and simplified management of varying module operating conditions.


JinkoSolar’s Sunny 365 AIDC solution combines high-efficiency PV, long-duration storage and intelligent O&M for the demanding 24/7 power requirements of AI data centers. Built around the Tiger Neo 3.0 platform and SunTera energy storage, the system targets reliability, energy costs and grid-connection constraints. Its AIDC modules deliver up to 680 W at 25.17% efficiency, with 85% ±5% bifaciality and a temperature coefficient as low as -0.26%/°C. The technology also targets extreme-weather resilience and low O&M requirements, positioning integrated solar-storage as energy infrastructure for rapidly expanding computing facilities.
