Based on the M10 (182mm) standard gallium doped monocrystalline wafers, this high-performance module with conversion efficiency over 21%, has been developed to deliver class leading value to utility scale applications. Hi-MO 5 will bring optimal LCOE to ultra large-scale PV projects.

Prior to the signing of the 20-MW Hi-MO 5 contract with ACPL, LONGi successfully shipped 325 kW of its Hi-MO5 series modules to Bright Brothers in Pakistan for their upcoming solar power project. The orders highlight LONGi’s rapidly growing traction in Pakistan’s solar power sector.
