LONGi claims new HJT solar cell efficiency record

• Solar supplier LONGi has set a world record conversion effectiveness of 26.5% for silicon heterojunction (HJT) PV cells.

Validated by the Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin, Germany, the record was accomplished on M6 (274.4 cm2) full-size monocrystalline silicon wafers.

The turning point follows LONGi reached a 26.3% HJT cell performance last October, simply days after setting a previous record of 25.82%.

The business has actually considering that established a 25.47% cell effectiveness record for a gallium-doped p-type HJT cell, achieved using an automation procedure on M6 (274.3 cm ²) monocrystalline silicon wafers.

Reporting its Q1 results last month, LONGi exposed it gets on track to ship 50-- 60GW of components in 2022 and end the year with 85GW of component manufacturing capacity.
