Longi Officially Launches a 540-Watt Hi-MO5 Module

Chinese solar wafer and solar panel manufacturer Longi Solar today launched its latest ultra-high power product: the Hi-MO5 PV solar panel.

The solar company has opted to base the product on the 182mm² M10 solar wafer which it aims to make the industry standard.

There are two solar panels of the new bifacial panel, with Longi claiming power output of 540 W from the 72-cell solar panel and 495 W from the 66-cell solar panel offering.

The solar panel manufacturer said the solar panels were made with its innovative ‘smart welding’ technique to secure interconnection between cells, improving efficiency 0.3% compared to standard multiple-busbar products and reducing solar cell tensile force 20%.

The double-glass, framed Hi-MO5 is strong enough for any terrain and climate, according to Longi, and the product uses a 13 A working current, keeping it within the range of new-generation solar inverters, the company added.

Longi said the Hi-MO5 measures 2,256 x 1,133mm, making it compatible with 1P and 2P trackers.

The monocrystalline manufacturer said it will have 12 GW of production capacity by the final three months of this year, with further production facilities due to come online in the following quarter.

The technical manual for the Hi-MO5 has been made available by the solar company for download.
