Longi Green Energy Sets World Record for Solar Module Efficiency at 25.4%

Date:2024-10-25

China’s Longi Green Energy has set a new world record for crystalline silicon solar module efficiency with its independently developed hybrid passivated back contact (HPBC) 2.0 module, achieving a conversion efficiency of 25.4%, according to a certification report from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE).
 
 
The new efficiency of 25.4% surpasses the previous record of 24.9%, set by Maxeon in January with its interdigitated back contact (IBC) module. This half-percentage point increase represents a significant leap in a field where efficiency gains have typically been incremental. This breakthrough also pushes crystalline silicon module efficiency past the 25% threshold.
 
Longi told pv magazine that while the new record is an R&D breakthrough, it continues to try to improve the efficiency of its mass-produced panels. Currently, Longi's HPBC 2.0 modules for commercial shipment have now reached an efficiency of 24.8%.
