As the Japanese market pivots towards C&I and Residential applications of 
photovoltaic generation, Hi-MO X is well suited in Japan. Yoh Yasuda, Visiting 
Professor of Renewable Energy, Kyoto University pointed out that renewable 
energy is one of the resources with the best cost-performance ratio and highest 
return on investment. 

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 rooftop installations, it is available in 400W (72-cell) and 
350W (60-cell) peak power variants. 

The full square monocrystalline cells are shingled seamlessly, with clearly 
defined and smooth lines that give a sleek and elegant appearance. An 
innovative design eliminates power losses caused by solder strip shading and a 
new 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. 

At the seminar, Mr. Shimanaga, Editor-in-Chief of Solar Journal, a well-known 
industry media, and Mr. Gojo from Sumitomo Banking Corporation, discussed the 
financing and the return on investment of PV power stations in Japan. Mr. Gojo 
stressed that the power plants utilizing modules with better performance have 
higher bankability and may provide higher rates of investment returns.

Mr. Qin Chao, President of LONGi Solar Technology K.K., said, "Since the 
establishment of the LONGi Japan Company, our brand, products and services have 
been recognized by our Japanese customers and partners. We thank them for their 
trust and support and will continue to bring more high-efficiency products that 
creates higher investment value for our customers."

LONGi Solar Technology K.K. was founded in 2016 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd, one of China's leading solar 
manufacturers and the most valuable solar technology company in the world.
