LONGi exposed today that its Cell R&D Center had actually attained a brand-new record cell efficiency of a p-type monocrystalline bifacial TOPCon solar cell of 25.02%, the first time a p-type cell had recorded a conversion effectiveness over of 25%.

The record was verified by the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) in Hamelin, Germany, which also verified LONGi's record for its commercial-sized monocrystalline HJ solar cell created by LONGi's New Technology R&D Center.

The HJ solar cell got to a conversion effectiveness of 25.26% throughout testing, a performance which LONGi stated placed it "at the leading edge of HJT-related technology".

At the same time the solar cell and also component supplier likewise commemorated sizeable gains in the conversion effectiveness of its n-type TOPCon solar cell, which rose from the 25.09% recorded in April to 25.21%. It does, nonetheless, drop just except the 25.25% conversion performance recorded by JinkoSolar and disclosed yesterday.

"With the ambitious objectives we have actually set for ourselves, our technique is to stay near the significance of technology by choosing the best technological course, taking full advantage of item efficiency potential as well as proactively ushering in the changes needed to accomplish the technical change," Li Hua, vice president and head of LONGi's Cell R&D Center, stated.
