At 26.81%, LONGi sets a new world record efficiency for silicon solar cells
"Improving the efficiency and reducing the LCOE (levelized cost of energy) is the eternal theme of the development of photovoltaic industry. Solar cell efficiency is the beacon of photovoltaic technology innovation. Every 0.01% improvement in solar cell conversion efficiency requires enormous efforts. In particular, crystalline silicon solar cells account for nearly 95% of the current photovoltaic market, so the ultimate efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells also shows the development potential and direction of the photovoltaic industry, which is of great significance in the entire photovoltaic industry," said Li Zhenguo, Founder and President of LONGi, while speaking at the event.
Dr.Xu Xixiang, Vice President of LONGi Central R&D Institute, said that breaking the world record was a milestone in the history of China's photovoltaic industry, which not only fully demonstrated the scientific and technological strength of China's photovoltaic enterprises in silicon solar cell manufacturing, but also strongly boosted China's confidence and determination to become a major player in the world in more scientific and technological fields.
Since June 2021 , LONGi's R&D team has continuously broken the world record of HJT solar cell conversion efficiency, increasing it from 25.26% to 26.81%, realizing the miracle of 1.55% increase in one year and four months. In particular, in just over a month, LONGi broke a new world record for silicon solar cell conversion efficiency with 26.74%, 26.78% and 26.81% respectively, which further affirmed LONGi's determination to continuously focus on R&D investment and promote industrial progress. This mature technology and the world record of large-size silicon wafers are also very rare in the entire history of photovoltaic technology.
LONGi's new world record in silicon solar cell conversion efficiency has received attention from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Energy Transformation Commission (ETC), World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and industry associations like Smart Energy Council (SEC) in Australia , Renewables in
Africa and Association of Chile Energy Solar. The approach and enthusiasm of LONGi and Chinese solar enterprises to continuously focus on and push the boundaries have also been completely acknowledged by the world stage.
Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world's leading solar technology company, focusing on customer-driven value creation for full scenario energy transformation.
Under its mission of 'making the best of solar energy to build a green world', LONGi has dedicated itself to technology innovation and established five business sectors, covering mono silicon wafers cells and modules, commercial & industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment. The company has honed its capabilities to provide green energy and has more recently, also embraced green hydrogen products and solutions to support global zero carbon development. www.longi.com
