Major Chinese module manufacturer—LONGi announces new world record for HJT solar cell efficiency

China — LONGi says it achieved a new world record conversion efficiency of 26.5% for its silicon heterojunction (HJT) photovoltaic cells.

That the record has been validated in testing carried out by the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) in Hamelin, Germany.

The testing achieved on M6 (274.4cm2) full-size monocrystalline silicon wafers, would mark a new breakthrough in efficiency for large-size monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells.

Founded in 2000, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co. Ltd. or LONGi Group, formerly Xi’an Longi Silicon Materials Corporation, is a major Chinese manufacturer of photovoltaic solar modules and a developer of solar power projects.
