On the final day of Intersolar Europe, LONGi Europe, the regional hub of the world’s largest solar technology innovator, announced a significant milestone in its efforts to transform Europe’s renewable energy landscape. With over 10GW of its back contact (BC) modules now installed across the continent, Europe has become the global center for high-efficiency solar adoption. Backed by a solid 20GW order reserve pipeline, this achievement highlights LONGi’s crucial role in promoting BC technology as the leading solution for utility-scale, commercial, and industrial solar projects.
Europe’s BC Leadership: A Catalyst for Global Change
Since its launch in Europe, LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 module has transformed the region’s solar market, offering 24.8% module efficiency and a power output of 670W to provide exceptional energy yields across various climates—from the sun-drenched Mediterranean to Northern Europe’s unpredictable weather.
The continent’s swift adoption of BC technology has bolstered LONGi’s global leadership, contributing to over 40GW in worldwide BC order reserves and enhancing Europe’s status as a pioneer in sustainable energy innovation. The region’s 10GW deployment milestone corresponds with rising global demand, including 17GW of BC modules shipped in 2024 and 4.32GW delivered in the first quarter of 2025. Europe’s success is rooted in Hi-MO 9’s capacity to outperform traditional technologies, achieving energy yields that are 8-10% higher while reducing land use—a vital benefit for countries striving to balance ecological preservation with decarbonization objectives.
The back contact design of Hi-MO 9 eliminates front-grid shading losses, allowing for nearly limitless light absorption and establishing a new standard for real-world performance. Its future-proof design guarantees compatibility with Europe’s evolving energy infrastructure, from hybrid systems to smart grids, while the 30-year linear power warranty and industry-leading temperature coefficient (-0.29%/°C) offer developers unmatched bankability.
Post-Intersolar Momentum: Europe’s Renewable Horizon
Building on its presence at Intersolar Europe 2025, LONGi is propelling the continent’s BC revolution. The event showcased Hi-MO 9’s significance in addressing grid modernization and land scarcity—key challenges in Europe’s net-zero goals. With 20GW in order reserves, LONGi Europe is enhancing production and logistics to meet demand, ensuring timely delivery for projects ranging from solar farms in Iberia to industrial centers in Eastern Europe.
Looking Ahead: Innovation Without Compromise
LONGi Europe is dedicated to pioneering advancements that establish solar as the cornerstone of the continent’s energy mix. Future initiatives include AI-driven optimization tools for BC systems and collaborations to promote circular-economy practices, ensuring that every watt generated aligns with Europe’s vision for a sustainable and equitable future.
