China is widely recognized as the centre of the world’s PV module manufacturing, shipping to every corner of the globe via sea, road, rail and air. With factors such as delivery cycle, capacity and cost to be considered, sea transportation has become the preferred mode for shipping and, with this being the case, how to maximize utilization of container capacity is now a key area of focus for design engineers.  

Li Zhenguo, founder and president of the world leading solar technology company LONGi, has addressed the 2021 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit via online video, also taking part in a virtual roundtable discussion with other business leaders on the topic of "The Future of Energy", mainly focusing on the crucial rôles and impact of photovoltaic and hydrogen energy in the process of global energy transition.

As a global leader in solar technology, LONGi adheres to innovation and reliability as the core pillars of the company’s ongoing development. In order to validate the performance of its 182mm Hi-MO 5 module under extreme weather conditions, LONGi carried out rigorous dynamic load testing (DML) on the bifacial Hi-MO 5 at the China General Certification (CGC) laboratory.

As of early November, LONGi’s Hi-MO 5 (72C) modules had been supplied to some 600 clients in 57 countries, with cumulative shipments now exceeding 10GW.

LONGi Solar Australia announced today the signing of a 300MW supply agreement with OSW, its distribution partner in Australia, that will offer Australians the latest in solar technology and advance the growth and development of the Australian solar market.

LONGi founder and president Li Zhenguo has participated in a special company activity at COP26 in Glasgow via online video, outlining LONGi’s “Commitment and Action to Address Climate Change” and releasing the company’s first White Paper on Climate Action at the China Corporate Pavilion.

In order to compare the power generation performance of bifacial PERC and monofacial modules installed using different methods, LONGi and the CGC conducted a one-year pilot project test in Togtoh county between December 2019 and December 2020. The results showed that, under conditions of saline soil and high temperature irradiation, the first-year power degradation of both modules was less than 2.0%. Compared with their monofacial equivalents, however, the bifacial modules produced a 10.0% higher level of power generation. The modules were able to deliver a significant energy yield gain when installed with a single-axis tracker (SAT).
