IPVF Confirms: LONGi's BC Modules Hi-MO 9 Outperform TOPCon in Power Gen & LCOE
Data reveals that LONGi's Hi-MO 9 BC modules demonstrate significant advantages over TOPCon products in per-watt power yield, system costs, and particularly levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), delivering higher lifetime returns for large-scale centralized power plants. Multiple globally authoritative institutions including Enertis Applus+ have previously analyzed the field performance of BC versus TOPCon technologies, with all test results consistently favoring BC products. LONGi's BC technology is now driving a new wave of technological transformation and large-scale adoption worldwide through its superior return-on-investment value.
• Superior Efficiency: Hi-MO 9 Delivers 1.84% Higher Per-Watt Generation Than TOPCon
IPVF's analysis shows Hi-MO 9's exceptional low-light performance resulted in 1,210 and 1,639 hours of first-year generation in the French projects, surpassing TOPCon modules (1,187 and 1,611 hours). Similarly, in the Danish project, Hi-MO 9 outperformed TOPCon by 21 and 20 equivalent generation hours respectively, demonstrating robust power yield advantages.
Since its launch last year, Hi-MO 9 has gained industry recognition through multiple outdoor demonstration projects. Integrating LONGi's proprietary HPBC 2.0 technology featuring grid lines-free front side, the module significantly enhances power output and conversion efficiency—particularly maintaining high performance under low-light conditions. Combined with its high-temperature and humidity resistance in complex environments, Hi-MO 9 has become a globally sought-after BC product.
IPVF's consolidated data confirms that across all four power plants analyzed, Hi-MO 9 delivers 1.84% higher per-watt generation than TOPCon modules on average. This translates to greater lifetime energy output and higher commercial returns for BC-equipped power plants.
• Cost Leadership: Hi-MO 9's Superior LCOE Secures Competitive Edge
LCOE remains the critical metric for power plant economics, where module selection directly impacts project viability. IPVF's analysis confirms that Hi-MO 9 not only increases energy yield but also optimizes project cost structures, establishing a solid foundation for maximizing lifetime plant returns. Crucially, Hi-MO 9 achieves an average 3.32% lower LCOE than TOPCon modules across the evaluated projects.
Notably, this advantage was calculated with Hi-MO 9 priced 1¢/W higher than TOPCon. As HPBC technology rapidly evolves, the LCOE benefits of Hi-MO 9 will further expand, substantially boosting end-customer returns. With accelerating global deployment, LONGi's high-efficiency BC solutions will elevate ROI for worldwide customers and propel the PV industry toward new value growth horizons.
From pioneering monocrystalline technology to industrializing BC solutions, LONGi consistently applies "first principles" to reduce LCOE through technological innovation. Moving forward, LONGi will collaborate with global partners through dual drivers—collaborative innovation and ecosystem development—delivering advanced, reliable, and economically superior BC solutions, empowering the BC era with collective wisdom.

FIFA hit with $76M claim by Lassana Diarra in decade-long soccer transfer rules case
Article content GENEVA — Lawyers for former France international Lassana Diarra said Monday he is claiming 65 million euros ($76 million) from FIFA and the Belgian soccer federation after a landmark legal win about transfer rules. Article content Diarra's decade-long challenge to FIFA after a breakdown in relations with his former club Lokomotiv Moscow led to a ruling at the European Court of Justice last October that some aspects of soccer's transfer rules do not comply with the 27-nation European Union's labor and competition laws. Article content Article content Lawyers for the 40-year-old former Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid midfielder cited 'unsuccessful settlement negotiations with FIFA' for the financial claim for damages throughout his career. Article content Article content Soccer's governing body said in a statement it 'has been working with its stakeholders to amend its regulations following the guidance offered by the ECJ.' Article content Diarra's case, which is back in court in Belgium, is supported by the global players' union FIFPRO, its European division and their national member union in France. Article content The legal case started in the home country of Charleroi, the Belgian club that wanted to sign Diarra after his contract in Moscow was terminated. Article content Article content FIFA transfer rules at the time made the player and the potential signing club liable for paying the former club when a contract was ruled to have been broken without 'just cause.' The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld FIFA's ruling in favor of Lokomotiv. Article content The case was sent to the European court in Luxembourg which said some aspects of the FIFA rules 'hinder the free movement of players and competition between clubs.' Article content Diarra's dispute with Lokomotiv and FIFA forced him to miss the 2014-15 season. He then signed for Marseille and ended his career at Paris Saint-Germain six years ago. Article content 'I am doing this for myself,' Diarra said in a statement Monday published by his lawyers. 'And if I have been able to hold out against the FIFA steamroller, it is because I had a good career.' Article content 'But I have also done it for all the up and coming, lesser known players who do not have the financial and psychological means to challenge FIFA before real judges,' he said.
