BC technology may represent the cutting edge of solar, but considerable potential remains to enhance performance even further, particularly as the race for higher efficiency continues.
Longi’s Hi-MO X10 drops busbars, Heckert goes white grid, IBC adapts for larger flat-roof modules, and K2 adds 15° and 20° tilts – these are pv Europe’s top product picks this week.
Retail property group NEPI Rockcastle is using its latest solar project to boost the green energy supply for its shopping centres across Romania.
CEO Talk: Module technology is evolving rapidly, even amid intense price competition. All the while, customers demand more power from their systems. Back contact cells represent the current pinnacle of development, but there’s more to be achieved. Where is the industry headed? We take a closer look.
The Himo X10 module from Longi features a busbar-free cell connection and leverages the company’s proprietary Tairay wafers to deliver high performance with a streamlined, back-contact design.
Ahead of Intersolar, Longi has announced new efficiency records for both its back-contact and tandem solar cells – with its perovskite cell nearing 35 percent.

Chinese module manufacturer Longi is also presenting something new: the Hi-MO X6 Artist (Ultra Black) module has been redesigned. The black module focusses on aesthetics, as there is no visible front grille.
The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) has reached a milestone in its mission to create end-to-end transparency and promote responsible practices across the solar value chain with the publication of its Supply Chain Traceability Standard. It was unveiled last week at Sustainable Solar Europe Conference in Brussels.
Longi will supply PV modules for a 174 megawatt solar park that will be built by the Bulgarian based ECP contractor Solarpro. It is currently the largest of all existing or under-construction PV projects in Romania and is scheduled to go online in mid-2025.
LONGi Solar and the Keno Group have entered a strategic partnership on the supply of LONGi’s latest back contact series to Central and Easter European countries. The collaboration will comprise the new Hi-MO X10 solar panels.
LONGi reported a net loss of 1.261 billion CNY (€170 million) in Q3 of this year. To return to profitability, the Chinese manufacturer is increasingly relying on high efficiency PV modules with back contact technology.
LONGi has published its financial report for the first half of 2024. The integrated Chinese module manufacturer generated revenues of the equivalent of 5.03 billion euros in the period. One challenge, however, is the low PV manufacturing capacity utilization rate of less than 50 percent. Growth with the new HPBC 2.0 back-contact series is expected in 2025.
