The Smarter E trade fair has finally announced the shortlist of finalists for this year's Energy Transition Awards, which will be presented in five categories: Photovoltaics, Energy Storage, E-mobility, Intelligent Integrated Energy and Special Projects.
LONGi is a finalist in the Photovoltaics category with its newly launched Hi-MO X10 back contact module, which features the company's proprietary second generation Hybrid Passivated Back Contact technology - HPBC 2.0.
In Europe, the module was first launched in November 2024 and is already experiencing good market traction and increasing demand. One of the biggest advances made by LONGi's R&D department between HPBC 1.0 and 2.0 is the 1% increase in absolute cell efficiency in just 2 years of development from 2022 to 2024.
According to E Smarter, the finalists in the Photovoltaics category reflect current trends and challenges. While PV modules have become more powerful and efficient, a wider range of installation options, including vertical installations, was also a deciding factor in the finalists' selection, given the limited space available.
The winners will receive their awards on the evening of The smarter E Europe on May 6, one day before the start of Intersolar.
