  • LONGi's Hi-MO 5 Ice-Shield module: built to withstand hail and windstorms, with a 12-year product and 30-year power warranty. Protect your investment with LONGi.

LONGi has introduced a new solar panel, the Hi-MO 5 Ice-Shield module, designed to withstand hail and windstorms with its thicker top-glass. The module uses toughened safety glass technology with a 3.2-mm integrated top layer of tempered glass, allowing it to withstand up to 55-mm hailstones at high speeds.

The Ice-Shield module is reinforced with high-strength aluminum alloy material to withstand wind loads up to 3,600-Pa, equivalent to 171.33 mph winds. LONGi is offering a 12-year product and 30-year power warranty for the new module, which also maintains the Hi-MO 5 module advantages of increased power generation and reduced BOS costs. The company aims to protect grid stability and asset value in the face of extreme weather events.
