102MW! LONGi signs supply agreement with Finnish energy company for Hi-MO X10 back contact modules
HELSINKI, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi Solar has entered a strategic partnership with a leading Finnish energy enterprise to supply 102MW of Hi-MO X10 back contact modules. This agreement is a significant milestone for LONGi in expanding its presence in the Nordic market and will contribute to advancing sustainable energy solutions in the region.
The collaboration spans sectors including hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and warehouses with the aim of reducing electricity costs for public infrastructure. The project is expected to lower annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 105,672 to 163,200 tons, contributing to both economic efficiency and environmental goals.
By the end of 2024, Finland had increased its cumulative solar photovoltaic capacity to approximately 1.2 GW, up from 1.0 GW in 2023. Back contact modules are well suited to the Finnish market due to their strong performance in low-light conditions and their structural reliability under high snow loads. Their design also supports off-grid applications and provides a consistent aesthetic that aligns with regional expectations for building integration.
Han Ziwei, General Manager of LONGi Nordic, said: " This cooperation marks the first delivery of Hi-MO X10 modules in one of the highest latitude regions, representing a key milestone in the global deployment of back contact technology. The project underscores the potential of the Hi-MO X10 to perform reliably across a range of application scenarios and climatic conditions, supporting the development of a more diversified renewable energy mix in the Nordic region and beyond.'
Technology empowerment to assist Finland's green development
The Hi-MO X10 solar module uses advanced Back Contact (BC) technology, enabling a mass-produced module efficiency of up to 24.8%. In Finland, where winter conditions and lower solar irradiation pose challenges, high-efficiency modules can help optimize power generation on rooftops and other limited-use areas, contributing to reliable energy supply and long-term cost-effectiveness.
Finland's long and cold winters require solar modules with strong low-light performance and high mechanical resilience. The Hi-MO X10 meets these requirements through its back contact architecture and load-bearing design. The module is designed to operate reliably in extreme low temperatures and under long-term snow accumulation.
It also reduces hot-spot temperatures in shaded conditions, minimizing the risk of localized overheating and supporting stable, long-term system performance. The module is also outstanding in weak light environments. The advanced back contact technology increases responsiveness in low-light conditions and extends daily power generation hours, contributing to higher overall energy yield. In addition, the design of the Hi-MO X10 aligns with the Nordic architectural style, offering a uniform appearance that integrates well into the built environment while maintaining practical performance standards.
Since 2018, LONGi has actively participated in the development of Finland's green energy market. Finland plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 and is fully promoting the transformation of its energy structure. With growing demand for clean energy, the Finnish market is placing increased emphasis on integrated solutions that combine solar, wind, and hydropower. The involvement of LONGi supports this development by contributing advanced solar technology to the country's evolving renewable energy landscape.

EthicAI Advisory Limited: Cambridge spinout launches new tool to boost confidence in AI
LONDON, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EthicAI Advisory Limited ("EthicAI"), a University of Cambridge spinout and global leader in the ethical and responsible assurance of artificial intelligence, has launched a cloud-based AI assurance SaaS platform to address ethical and trust issues around the adoption of AI, unlocking the technology's economic potential. AI models can create problems across a number of areas: Fairness and bias — AI systems can discriminate against certain groups including through hidden bias in training data Transparency — automating workflows can create 'black box' issues where algorithmic decision-making is opaque and consequently hard to understand and challenge Employee impacts — automation may unintentionally disempower, not augment, human workers if not designed carefully. The adoption of AI without enablement and literacy programmes can also erode company culture and employee motivation BeehAIve® scrutinises models and datasets against 15 ethical dimensions, assessing evidence across thousands of measurement points. The platform allows organisations to design, deploy and monitor autonomous systems that are optimised for success. BeehAIve® allows for technical stress-testing of model performance to improve reliability, robustness and security, while also recommending ways to reduce energy usage from AI. The platform enables assessment of models and systems against regional and national legislation including the EU AI Act, GDPR, the Korean AI Act, as well as industry-specific regulations and globally recognised AI standards. BeehAIve® then recommends how gaps can be filled, preparing for cross-border compliance while building stakeholder trust. The platform offers organisations a secure hub for their AI data, ensuring information remains safe and encrypted at all times. Tanya Goodin, Founder & CEO of EthicAI says: "BeehAIve® is a unique platform that enables organisations and their stakeholders to adopt AI with increased trust and confidence. Research shows that consumer confidence in AI has fallen by 8% globally over the past five years due to concerns about how AI is designed and built. BeehAIve® looks under the hood of organisations' AI models and systems — both in development and post deployment — to identify blind spots and weaknesses and provides actionable insights on how to mitigate and manage risks." For further information, contact: tanya@ or tim@ EthicAI Advisory Ltd EthicAI was formed in 2022 to build trust in AI by assuring models and systems to the highest ethical and responsible standards. EthicAI spun out of the University of Cambridge's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, with all the founding team previously engaged in cutting-edge AI ethics research at the university. The founders' leadership experience spans organisations including the BBC, Fidelity Investments, Barclays, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and UBS. Read more about the team here. EthicAI's cloud-based platform BeehAIve® will allow the company to scale its offer, and bring solutions to more organisations, more rapidly. It sits at the heart of the company's mission to ensure the ethical and responsible adoption of state-of-the-art AI systems — powering their success and helping to strengthen the UK's position as a leader in artificial intelligence.
