On December 25, numerous government leaders and industry experts gathered at the  3.66MW photovoltaic power generation project at the Meixi Lake Water Purification Plant in Hunan Province, to jointly view new development opportunities for the advanced application mode of "Photovoltaic +". As the sole module supplier for this project, LONGi supplied 3.66MW of its modules to the Hunan Xiangxin Xiaohao New Energy Technology Company.

LONGi, the world leading solar technology company, has announced that it has exclusively supplied 200MW of its Hi-MO 5 bifacial modules to the China Energy Engineering Group’s Northwest Electric Power Test Research Institute for a solar project in Ningxia, China. The project, developed by the Ningxia Zhongke Ka New Energy Research Institute, has already entered the construction and installation stage.

With the delivery of 100MW of the Hi-MO5 bifacial module in mid-November 2020, the global cumulative shipments of LONGi bifacial modules reached 10GW. The value of the bifacial module has been widely recognized by the industry under LONGi’s leading promotion, furthermore bifacial module has become a mainstream solar product for utility-scale PV plants with an ever increasing market share. This paper will provide a detailed review of the development history and milestones for the LONGi bifacial module.

Shipments of LONGi’s high-efficiency bifacial modules have now reached 10GW, with expectations that production will reach 12GW by the end of 2020.

On November 12, a customer value focused conference entitled “Advanced PV Technology for Better LCOE - 182mm Module and System Technology”, co-sponsored by JA Solar, Jinko Solar and LONGi Green Energy, was held in Shanghai. During the conference, solar inverter and tracker manufacturers, power design institutes, EPC companies and third-party certification institutions issued a comprehensive statement on the design, production cost, supporting infrastructure, system application and product certification of 182mm modules.

The 30th International Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference (PVSEC-30) & Global Photovoltaic Conference 2020 (GPVC 2020) were held on November 8 as a joint hybrid event, based out of Jeju, South Korea. PVSEC is one of the world's top three academic conferences in the photovoltaic industry, along with EU PVSEC in Europe and IEEE PVSC in the USA. At the conference, Dennis She, SVP of LONGi Solar, shared insights into ultra-high-power modules.
