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.

York village takeaway shortlisted for consecutive year in best chippy award
A DECADES-OLD York village chippy is among ten contenders for an award, and votes have put it in the shortlist for a consecutive year. Osbaldwick Fisheries is nominated along with nine other chippies in York by readers of The Press as one of their favourites in one of the title's most popular competitions. Readers of the newspaper have the chance to select their overall favourite by posting off a voting slip that features on a page every day until June 14. Recommended reading: Press readers list York's top ten chippies as finalists in competition York takeaway rewarded for its consistency from customers gets award nomination Family-run chippy in York suburb shortlisted for award The winner is set to be announced in the week commencing June 23 and each copy of The Press in the coming days until the voting closes features a short profile on each chippy to whet the appetite and help readers decide which deserves to be the number one in York. Osbaldwick Fisheries in Osbaldwick Lane was also shortlisted in 2024 and is the recipient of repeated nominations in past competitions where the favourite chippies have been nominated by readers. Owners Mark and Karen Atkinson said they were 'humbled yet again by you, our customers, for continuously nominating us into the top ten finalists.' The chippy opens three days a week – Thursdays from 4.30pm to 9pm, Friday from 11.30am to 1pm then 4.30pm to 9pm and on Saturdays from 11.30am to 1.30pm and 5pm to 8pm. The establishment first opened on a Thursday night in 1997 with 190 kilogrammes of fish. It was chosen to last the weekend and 90 per cent of it had been bought by customers at the end of the first night. Mark said he's had previous experience as a chef and only came into the chippy trade by supporting a friend by helping out at their own takeaway at a Stamford Bridge shop. Three years later he'd set up in business on his own. Having used the same merchants for almost 30 years, Mark said Osbaldwick Fisheries prides itself on its high-quality produce with chips rumbled and chipped in house and bought from local suppliers. He said: "We ensure that the fish is the highest quality offering from Iceland, where the colder waters breed stockier fish the ethical standards ensure that they don't overfish." One reviewer on Tripadvisor gave Osbaldwick Fisheries 'excellent' scores for value, for food and for service, saying: 'Been getting our fish and chips from this shop for almost twenty years! 'Best in York. It is spotlessly clean. 'The food is fresh and delicious. 'And the owners and staff are friendly and efficient.' To celebrate National Fish and Chip Day on Friday, June 6, the tenth anniversary of the commemoration, Osbaldwick Fisheries opened a customer competition to win vouchers to purchase takeaway food from the chippy.
