XI'AN, China, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The US Renewable Energy Testing Center (RETC) has released its "Photovoltaic

Module Index Report" (PVMI) for 2020. Having won a "High Achievers" award in

2019, LONGi has once again carried off the award for outstanding performance

following comprehensive evaluation of global photovoltaic modules by RETC.

LONGi's performance in three indicators of reliability, performance and quality

identified it as one of only three companies to achieve the award. The company

also became the only module manufacturer to perform well in all 8 individual

tests, underlining the high reliability and excellent performance of its

monocrystalline modules.

The PVMI provides a high-level overview of relevant tests carried out by RETC

within reliability, performance and quality indicators, followed by a sampling

of test data to recognize high performers and showcase high achievement in

manufacturing.

Being awarded as overall "High Achiever" and demonstrating solid top

performance on all 8 indicators are good testament to LONGi's consistent

philosophy of delivering reliable products to customers. As the world's leading

solar technology company, LONGi focuses on product reliability, from design to

production, providing customers with reliable and value-added photovoltaic

modules. Module design starts with theoretical simulation using relevant

optical, electrical and mechanical models. Module power, efficiency, energy

yield and reliability will all be considered before design is finalized; For

module BOM selection, the company has always maintained a highly cautious

approach, ensuring long-term product reliability. In addition, LONGi uses Ga

doping to control mono PERC module LID, and has also optimized the hydrogen

passivation process to mitigate LeTID.

Meanwhile, to ensure module reliability, LONGi goes beyond standard testing

requirements, establishing a variety of differentiated testing methods based on

the results of well-known research institutions and third-party experts. As for

the production process, highly automated equipment not only improves

efficiency, but also helps ensure production stability. A comprehensive quality

control system guarantees product excellence.
