The China National Photovoltaic Product Quality Inspection Center (CPVT) has released the H1 2025 report from China’s first deep-sea floating PV project in Yantai, Shandong. The study compared LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 HPBC 2.0 modules with TOPCon modules from January to June 2025. Results showed Hi-MO 9 achieved 1.94 percent higher per-watt generation and maintained a 0.98 percent gain under low-light conditions. The modules performed consistently across different irradiance levels and times of day. Their average operating temperature was 1.31 °C lower, reducing power degradation and improving lifespan. With a backside reflectivity of 6.73 percent, Hi-MO 9 achieved a combined output of 667.05 W, outperforming TOPCon’s 648.11 W. The findings highlighted HPBC 2.0 technology’s efficiency and reliability in offshore solar environments.
LONGi modules outperform TOPCon in Yantai offshore PV trials
China’s CPVT released H1 2025 data from the Yantai floating PV project showing LONGi Hi-MO 9 modules achieved higher generation efficiency and lower temperature than TOPCon units.
