XI'AN, China, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

LONGi, the world leading solar technology company headquartered in Xi'an,

China, has officially launched its new 66C type Hi-MO 4 monofacial PV module

(Hi-MO 4m) for the global distributed generation (DG) market. With an area of

about 2 m2, weight of 22kg and power of 410-420W, the new module can be widely

used on rooftops in residential, industrial and commercial applications.

In early 2019, LONGi launched its Hi-MO 4 series high-efficiency PV modules for

full scenario applications based on the M6 (166mm) standard monocrystalline

wafer and PERC technology. Within a year of mass production, the Hi-MO 4 series

achieved the remarkable milestone of 10GW in global shipments, gaining wide

industry acceptance and confidence.

As the world approaches the era of grid parity in 2021, LONGi has re-focused on

the specific demands of the DG market with a view to delivering value for

customers in the sector with new innovative products.

In addition to 66C, the Hi-MO 4m series also offers 60C and 72C types. These

three products cover power ranges of 370-385w, 410-420W and 450-460W, with

maximum efficiency of up to 21%, providing DG users with wider flexibility and

options. With high performance and an aesthetically pleasing appearance, the

Hi-MO 4m module combines the advantages of high efficiency, high energy yield

and high reliability. Its size and weight are designed to match the

requirements of DG system installations and application scenarios.

Application scenario: Residential Rooftops

-- Flexible matching & efficient capacity expansion

For the residential market, the Hi-MO 4m 60C module (area of 1.82 m2, weight of

19.5kg, width of 1.04m) is most suitable in terms of convenient installation

due to its moderate size and weight.

In some countries and regions, modules of larger size and weight can also be

installed on residential roofs. LONGi therefore also provides 66C (22.0kg) and

72C (23.5kg) options. The width of the module is standardized, while three

different length options allow the Hi-MO 4m series to maximize the photovoltaic

system's installation capacity in residential rooftops.

Application scenario: Industrial and Commercial roofs

-- Safe and reliable product for robust gains

The Hi-MO 4m 72C type module is suitable for use on industrial and commercial

roofs.

In terms of installation type, in addition to tiling installation on inclined

roofs and installation with the optimal inclination angle on flat roofs, the

"4-point installation on short frame" on flat roofs is adopted in some

developed countries for lower installation cost and improved system capacity.

In this special application scenario, the Hi-MO 4m 66C format module

outperforms other modules. Compared with conventional module products, it not

only achieves stable and efficient power output, but also has higher resistance

to wind and snow loads.

Hi-MO 4m series modules

-- Quality and value in the distributed generation market

Distributed generation products can be key in enabling PV to enter thousands of

households and the high value of the Hi-MO 4m series modules will offer global

DG users new choices and flexibility, matched with high quality and value.

In terms of electrical matching, the current at maximum power of the Hi-MO 4m

module is lower than 11A, which is a perfect match for the various brands of

string inverters, power optimizers and micro inverters available worldwide. It

makes full use of the design margin of the equipment and avoids the loss of

power generation or mismatch caused by current limiting.

LONGi modules are known for their excellent energy yield performance and

product quality, aspects which have been validated by the global market and

authoritative third-party institutions:

- In PV Magazine tests, the outdoor energy yield of LONGi's monofacial and

bifacial modules was significantly higher than that of similar products;

- In outdoor energy yield simulations under TÜV Rheinland's "All Quality

Matters" evaluation, LONGi has won awards in numerous consecutive years,

securing the award in 2020 for both monofacial and bifacial module groups.

- In the 2019 Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC) PV Module Index report, LONGi

was one of only two high achiever companies, by virtue of the reliability,

performance and quality of its products. In 2020, LONGi became the only

manufacturer to achieve excellence scores in all eight test indicators.

LONGi will expand the capacity of its dedicated DG production line to 10GW in

2021.
