LONGi announced a ground-breaking achievement at its Wuhu base in Anhui Province, where its Hybrid Interdigitated-Back-Contact (HIBC) crystalline silicon solar cell reached an astonishing photoelectric conversion efficiency of 27.81%. The milestone was certified by the authoritative Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) in Germany, setting a new world record in the field of monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells.
A Continuous Journey of Record-Breaking Progress
LONGi has been consistently pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency. In November 2022, the company set a world record for crystalline silicon cell conversion efficiency at 26.81%. By May 2024, this achievement was already surpassed, with efficiencies of 27.3%, followed by 27.4%, 27.52%, and finally, 27.81%.
Innovation Drives the Breakthrough
The HIBC cell represents a true innovation, developed by LONGi’s Central Research Institute. It achieves dual breakthroughs in optical management and carrier transport efficiency. A reconfiguration of the cell’s structure and material systems made this possible, enhancing the power density of photovoltaic modules and opening up new avenues for future advancements.
