LONGi Officially Launches HIBC Technology and True 700W module on the SNEC2025
SHANGHAI, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- On June 11, LONGi officially released its newly developed HIBC technology and mass-produced module products at the 18th (2025) International Solar Photovoltaic Exhibition (SNEC). HIBC creates a precedent in the industry, achieving a power of over 700W for the first time based on the standard size of 2382mm×1134mm, and the efficiency of mass-produced modules is close to 26%, comprehensively leading the efficiency of photovoltaic modules into the '25%+Era'. HIBC, a Better Solution for 'High Value and Reliability' HIBC (Hybrid Interdigitated Back-Contact), high-low temperature composite passivated back contact technology, which integrates the characteristics of HJT and BC, and realizes large-scale mass production of modules for the first time in the world. Zhong Baoshen, Chairman of LONGi, said at the press conference that this is another peak climbed by LONGi in technological innovation and another major innovation by LONGi on the BC technology route. In April 2025, certified by the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) in Germany, the conversion efficiency of HIBC cells reached 27.81%, creating a new world record. Zhong Baoshen said that conversion efficiency is not only the lighthouse of photovoltaic technology but also the lifeblood of photovoltaic products. LONGi has always actively called for "improving power on the same area or standard size, that is, increasing unit yield." "Simply improving efficiency through physical stacking and area expansion brings limited customer value; at the same time, the risks of reliability and quality are obvious after the area is expanded." Zhong Baoshen said. Although LONGi's HPBC 2.0 products have formed a leading edge in the market-72-piece standard-size modules, continuing to lead TOPCon products by 30W-LONGi has not stopped technological innovation and product R&D. 259W/㎡ LONGi First Proposes 'Power Density' The HIBC technology product officially unveiled at the press conference achieves a power of over 700W with a standard size of 2382mm×1134mm, a power density of more than 259W/㎡, and a module efficiency of 25.9%. "This is currently the most efficient industrial photovoltaic product in the world. Through the improvement of efficiency, we called unit yield, the unity of high value and reliability is truly achieved." Zhong Baoshen said. Compared with other 700W modules of the same power in the industry (most of the sizes are 2384mm×1303mm), this module has an area 0.4㎡ smaller, but the power density is 34W/㎡ higher, completely breaking the previous logic that "large size brings high power." This is also the first time that LONGi has put forward the concept of "power density" in the industry. "LONGi has always adhered to technological innovation, always adhered to high-quality standards, and put customer interests first." The power density of this module is as high as 259W/㎡, which will be a more valuable choice for both the increasingly scarce land and the roof. Another great value brought by HIBC technology is to comprehensively lead the efficiency of mass-produced photovoltaic modules into the "25%+Era". As we all know, in the PERC era, the module efficiency was22%+, TOPCon brought 23%+, and the gate of 24%+ module mass production efficiency was opened by BC. Now, the 700W module released by LONGi is the result of superimposing HJT high-quality passivation technology on BC. "We have taken less than three years to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic modules to a new level, which also fully proves the high expandability of BC technology-it has a larger efficiency improvement space," Zhong Baoshen said. "Father of Solar Energy", Professor Martin Green of the University of New South Wales in Australia, also highly affirmed LONGi's innovation in BC technology at the press conference. "We recently updated the world solar cell efficiency list, and LONGi's HIBC technology topped, ranking first, which is also due to LONGi's unremitting efforts on the BC technology track." In addition, HIBC products use high-density packaging technology, and the cell screen occupation ratio is increased from 93.2% to 95.1%, which can greatly increase the light absorption area and truly achieve a balance between reliability and high efficiency. On May 7 this year, the EcoLife series, officially released by LONGi at the Intersolar exhibition, is a mass-produced product based on HIBC technology. The mass-produced cell efficiency of this module is 27.3%, and the module efficiency exceeds 25%. Starting from the End, Further Building a BC Ecosystem At this press conference, Zhong Baoshen also disclosed the achievements of the BC ecosystem construction since it officially launched in 2023. As of the end of May 2025, LONGi has cumulatively carried out technical docking with 191 global partners, reached 55 cooperation, covering 7 major fields including silicon wafers, cells, modules, system solutions, hydrogen energy, biomass, and engineering technology, and achieved initial revenue of 1.95 billion yuan. At the SNEC on May 24, 2023, LONGi officially released the STAR Innovation Ecological Collaboration Platform to the world, aiming to build a global collaborative innovation ecosystem with the "Global Zero Carbon Technology Innovation Center" as the core. On July 3, 2024, at the opening ceremony of the Global Distributed R&D Center, LONGi officially announced the operation rules for building the BC ecosystem, including three value propositions, three cooperation principles, and four modules of partner evaluation, model selection, technical empowerment, and value sharing, aiming to ensure implementation through a professional organization, full-chain process, digital system, and full-cycle monitoring. "Our original intention is still to start from the end and be committed to planting the black land that leads the healthy, benign, and sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry," Zhong Baoshen said. In the future, LONGi will further expand and deepen cooperation to improve and amplify the value of BC technology, so that it can penetrate into thousands of industries and households.

Canada risks missing out on billions in critical mineral investment without swift policy changes: report
Governments can attract investment, accelerate development, and capture opportunities arising from the global energy transition by sharing financial risks while upholding Indigenous rights and environmental protections OTTAWA, ON, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ - New research from the Canadian Climate Institute finds governments should act swiftly to de-risk critical minerals investment and accelerate project timelines—without cutting corners on Indigenous rights and environmental protections—to avoid missing out on a multi-billion dollar economic opportunity. Six priority critical minerals—copper, nickel, lithium, graphite, cobalt, and rare earth elements—form the building blocks of clean technologies like renewable energy and electric vehicles, among others. Canada's current production levels have barely scratched the surface of existing reserves, and demand is growing for these minerals that are essential to enhancing Canada's energy security and enabling the global transition to clean technologies. A report published today by the Canadian Climate Institute, Critical Path: Securing Canada's place in the global critical minerals race, finds that investment in these six priority critical minerals in Canada would have to grow substantially to keep pace with domestic and global demand. In fact, by 2040, Canada risks losing out on $12 billion a year in critical minerals production unless mining ramps up to meet demand from domestic industry alone. Amid increased competition for critical minerals, geopolitical turmoil, and rapidly evolving trade relationships, new investment of $30 billion would have to flow into Canada over the next 15 years to fully meet domestic critical minerals potential. To meet the growth in global demand—which is expected to double by 2040—investment in Canadian critical minerals would have to increase to $65 billion in that time frame. Yet investment into critical mineral projects hinges on expectations about future market prices—some of which are extremely volatile and can be overly affected by the actions of a few powerful players. To give investors more certainty, governments should act swiftly to share risks through targeted policies and programs, such as equity investments, offtake agreements, or contracts for difference. The report underscores that successful critical mineral projects require strong partnerships with Indigenous nations and communities, ongoing respect and recognition of Indigenous rights and self-determination, and robust environmental protections. It recommends governments streamline and accelerate project review processes by reducing inefficiencies, but warns that cutting corners when it comes to Indigenous rights and protecting the environment has been proven to backfire and lead to further delays. Specifically, the report recommends the federal, provincial, and territorial governments de-risk critical mineral mining projects by: Developing agreements between government and private companies to share the financial risk of investment in critical mineral projects. Providing more funding for Indigenous communities to participate and partner on mining projects and enhance access to capital for ownership opportunities. Strengthening mining regulations to reduce environmental risks and liabilities for communities that build on existing voluntary standards. Improving the efficiency of project reviews and decision making processes across multiple jurisdictions, without cutting back environmental safeguards or Indigenous consultation. The Climate Institute also commissioned three companion papers exploring related topics, including: Indigenous participation in the critical minerals sector, the emissions impact of ramping up critical minerals mining in Canada, and measures to reduce the environmental risks of increased mining activities. QUOTES "Critical minerals represent a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Canada in a global energy transition that continues to pick up pace. But Canada's critical minerals sector is struggling to attract enough investment to keep up with demand. As competition heats up and trade relationships evolve, Canadian governments should make haste to adopt policies to unlock private investment and bring resources to market faster—all while forming respectful partnerships with Indigenous communities and reducing environmental risks." — Rick Smith, President, Canadian Climate Institute "Securing Canada's place in the global critical minerals race requires swift action to unlock public and private investment that can power Canada's energy transition with the building blocks of clean technologies. Our Critical Path report offers a clear blueprint for the steps governments can take to seize this opportunity." — Marisa Beck, Director, Clean Growth, Canadian Climate Institute "All clean growth projects will be built on treaty lands, land claim areas, traditional territories, or within close proximity to an Indigenous community. This unique moment in time can affirm Indigenous rights to land and self-determination and encourage meaningful partnership between Indigenous nations, industry, and government. The Canadian Climate Institute's report provides a clear path on how Canada can grow its critical minerals sector in full partnership with Indigenous Peoples." — JP Gladu, Founder and Principal, Mokwateh "Canada has an opportunity to lead the transition to cleaner energy sources, but seizing that opportunity requires accelerating the development of a secure and circular domestic value chain for Canada's battery industry, from mine to market to recovery. Investing in Canadian critical minerals mining and processing will create jobs, grow the economy, and ensure Canada secures its place as a global leader in the battery value chain." — Sean de Vries, Executive Director, Battery Metals Association of Canada "Canada has a significant opportunity at hand to develop our critical mineral reserves, which among other imperatives are critical for a lower-emissions economy. This report clearly demonstrates the importance of making it easier for mining projects to secure financing to make this happen. By deploying loan guarantees and other financial risk-sharing instruments to de-risk projects, federal and provincial governments in Canada can crowd-in private capital, and keep projects on track despite market uncertainty." — , Senior Vice President, Office of the CEO, Royal Bank of Canada CONTACTS Claudine Brulé (Eastern Time) Lead, Communications and External Affairs Canadian Climate Institute (226) 212-9883 Krystal Northey (Pacific Time) Public Affairs Lead Canadian Climate Institute (226) 212-9883 About the Canadian Climate Institute The Canadian Climate Institute is Canada's leading climate change policy research organization. The Institute produces rigorous analysis, economic modelling, and in-depth research focused on incentivizing clean economic growth and low-carbon competitiveness, reducing emissions and accelerating Canada's net zero energy transition, and making our economy and infrastructure more resilient to a warming climate.
