LONGi Solar, a global leader in solar technology, today announced a significant agreement with Grupotec, a prominent international solar IPP and EPC, for the supply of its high-efficiency Hi-MO 9 PV modules. This landmark collaboration encomes several utility-scale solar projects in the United Kingdom with a total of 187MW, reinforcing both companies' commitment to advancing renewable energy infrastructure. 86q1

Grupotec, renowned for its extensive global presence and recognition as one of the top players in both, the UK and Europe solar markets, has selected LONGi's Back Hi-MO 9 series for these projects. Acting as the EPC contractor for a third-party IPP, Grupotec conducted a thorough engineering analysis and determined that the Hi-MO 9 module and its underlying technology offered the optimal solution for achieving the lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) through superior yield and reduced Balance of System (BOS) costs.

Hi-MO 9: Engineered for unmatched performance

The LONGi Hi-MO 9 module stands out for its exceptional performance, offering unique selling points crucial for large-scale solar developments:

• Higher Yield: Maximum power boasts up to 670W, designed to maximize energy generation, leading to greater returns over the project lifespan.

• Lower BOS Costs: Its advanced technology allows for fewer modules per project, reducing costs associated with mounting structures, cabling, and land use.

• Ultra-High Efficiency: Module efficiency of up to 24.8%, leveraging advanced cell and module technology to convert more sunlight into electricity.

• Enhanced Reliability: Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term stable performance and durability.

• Reduced LCOE: The combination of higher yield and lower BOS directly translates into the most competitive cost of electricity.

"We are incredibly proud to deepen our partnership with Grupotec on these significant projects," said David Sanchez, General Manager of Iberia for LONGi. "The selection of our Hi-MO 9 module by a leading EPC like Grupotec underscores its superior performance and our shared vision for delivering highly efficient, cost-effective solar solutions. This agreement is a testament to the strong trust and collaborative spirit we have built together, and we look forward to achieving new milestones with Grupotec in the renewable energy sector."

"Our decision to choose LONGi's Hi-MO 9 for these crucial projects was driven by rigorous engineering analysis and our unwavering commitment to delivering the lowest LCOE for our clients’ projects," stated César Moreyra, CEO of Grupotec. "The Hi-MO 9's ability to offer higher yield and lower BOS costs aligns perfectly with our strategic objectives. The growing relationship with LONGi, built on mutual respect and shared technical excellence, has been pivotal in our success, and we are excited about the continued positive impact of this collaboration.”

The partnership between Grupotec and LONGi has flourished since its inception in 2023, consistently growing to include the supply of over 300 MW of projects annually. This robust business relationship is characterized by strong collaboration across all departments, with Grupotec representatives visiting LONGi factories annually to further strengthen trust and understanding at all levels.
