On August 12th, 2019, LONGi's breakthrough shingled module technology, is 
launched and now being produced in volume manufacturing.

LONGi's new Hi-MO X debuted in Melbourne, Australia on August 12, gaining the 
attention of Australia's solar industry for its advanced features, high density 
power and sleek appearance.

Hi-MO X is a high-efficiency module using mono PERC technology and a shingled 
layout to achieve a leading front-side module conversion efficiency of 20%. 
Suitable for all roof-top installations it is available in 400W (72-cell) and 
350W (60-cell) peak power variants.

An innovative design eliminates power losses caused by solder strip shading and 
a novel cell series-parallel circuit design significantly increases power 
generation performance in shaded conditions.

Additional benefits come from a low working current brought about by a cell 
string circuit design that reduces hot spots and effectively reduces hot spot 
temperatures.

Hi-MO X brings new technology to roof-top solar that generates more power, 
which is safer and more reliable in a sleek appearance.

At the launch, CEC Product Specialist Mr. Sandy Pulsford presented the new 
solar module enhanced listings from the Clean Energy Council of Australia. 
Hi-MO X is one of the first modules to pre-qualify for the CEC's new standards 
designed to encourage quality product choices made by distributors and 
installers in the Australian solar market.

LONGi's focus on quality and reliability led them to select only the best 
materials for the Hi MO X, including the highly reliable Tedlar backsheet 
material bu DuPont. This high quality material specification automatically 
pre-qualifies Hi-MO X in CEC's stringent MAST certification. 

Associate Professor Alison Lennon from the University of New South Wales 
presented information about the collaboration between LONGi and UNSW, 
developing best in class solar technology. This technology is being developed 
to continuously improve module quality and energy yield.

At present, LONGi has 50 shingle patents granted and more than 72 pending. 
Hi-MO X is not only an exploration into the photovoltaic technology of the 
future, but also a breakthrough innovation of existing technology. The full 
square monocrystalline cells are shingled seamlessly, with clearly defined and 
smooth lines that give a sleek and elegant appearance.

At the launch LONGi welcomed three leading Australian distributors, BayWa 
Australia, SolarJuice and SolarGain, who were appointed as official 
distributors for Hi-MO X in Australia and have immediate access to the new 
product.
