LONGi, a global leader in solar technology, has secured a significant agreement with ENGIE, a renowned energy group, to deploy its cutting-edge Hi-MO 9 modules in major utility-scale solar projects across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of large-scale solar energy and highlights the growing recognition of back contact (BC) technology as a revolutionary solution for high-performance renewable energy installations.
This partnership between LONGi and ENGIE emphasizes the transformative potential of the Hi-MO 9 modules, powered by innovative BC technology. With a maximum power output of 670W, a major efficiency rate of 24.8%, and bifaciality up to 80%, Hi-MO 9 represents a significant advancement in photovoltaic technology. The design, which relocates all cell electrodes to the rear of the module, eliminates shading losses and maximizes light capture, resulting in industry-leading conversion efficiency.
Additionally, the Hi-MO 9’s enhanced temperature coefficient performance ensures stable power output, even in harsh environmental conditions. Combined with LONGi’s rigorous quality standards, these modules provide developers with unmatched reliability and long-term returns.
This collaboration is poised to redefine the benchmarks for efficiency, durability, and sustainability in the solar sector.
“ENGIE’s selection of Hi-MO 9 is a testament to the global energy sector’s recognition of BC technology as the ultimate frontier in solar innovation,” stated Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi. “LONGi’s collaboration with ENGIE sets a new benchmark for utility-scale solar deployments worldwide. This partnership reaffirms our commitment to delivering solutions that redefine efficiency, durability, and sustainability.”
“For ENGIE, this partnership with LONGi reflects our commitment to lead the global energy transition through the adoption of cutting-edge, innovative and sustainable solutions. This collaboration agreement will serve as a model for large-scale solar development in the Middle East and North Africa, driving progress toward a carbon-neutral future,” said François-Xavier BOUL, ENGIE Managing Director MENA Renewables & Batteries.
The collaboration underscores LONGi’s dedication to integrating technological advancement with environmental responsibility. The high-power density of the Hi-MO 9 modules optimizes land use, contributing to more sustainable development practices. Both LONGi and ENGIE are committed to adhering to rigorous environmental protocols throughout the entire project lifecycle.
