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.
Hi-MO
5 series modules are mass-produced in LONGi’s bases at Xianyang in Shaanxi
Province and Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province, which respectively has a capacity of
5GW and 7GW. The new-generation product, based on M10 (182mm) standard gallium-doped
monocrystalline wafers, has quickly entered the stage of delivery and has gradually begun to be widely
deployed at numerous PV projects.
Because
of the relief of Ningxia, each rack
is only able to carry a limited number of modules (2P fixed rack, 13×2). In this way, the 15m rack
ensures the construction convenience as well as the decrease of rack and pile foundation
costs.
Moreover,
the tilt angle, the height of the module from the ground and the system capacity
ratio have a significant impact on the power output of the module. The Ningxia project
adopts a 15° tilt design and 535W Hi-MO 5 bifacial modules with an efficiency
of 20.9% to maximize installation capacity.
The EPC
company reported that, in spite of the certain size and weight of a
Hi-MO 5 module, it can be installed smoothly and efficiently,
ensuring on schedule connection to the grid. In terms of electricity, the Sungrow’s
225kW string inverter with a maximum input current of 15A is applied in the
project, which is perfectly adapted to the 182mm-size bifacial module and can
save costs on cables and inverters.
Based
on the larger cell (182mm) and innovative “Smart Soldering” technology, the
LONGi Hi-MO 5 module made its debut in June 2020. After a
short ramp up in production capacity, cell efficiency and production yield
achieved excellent levels comparable to Hi-MO 4. At present, the capacity
expansion of Hi-MO 5 modules is progressing steadily and expected to reach
13.5GW in Q1 2021.
The design
of the Hi-MO 5 takes into account every parameter in each link to the
industrial chain. During the module delivery process, overall installation
efficiency is significantly improved. For instance, it takes LONGi team no more
than three months to achieve fast and high-quality delivery.
