The 10th All Quality Matters (AQM) Solar & ESS Congress, organized by the TÜV Rheinland Group, took place in Shanghai on September 3, 2024. The congress featured 25 AQM Award groups in three categories: PV Modules, Solar Energy Storage Systems, and PV Power Plants.
In recent developments, LONGi has been conferred with the AQM Award for both PV Module Energy Yield Simulation and PV Module Reliability. This distinction was awarded in recognition of the exceptional power generation performance and proven reliability of the innovative Hi-MO 9 module, which underpinned by the advanced second-generation back-contact (BC2.0) cell technology. Hi-MO X6, proven in a variety of outdoor empirical tests, received the PV Module Outdoor Energy Yield AQM Award in the Monofacial Group. These achievements solidify LONGi’s position as a leader in module efficiency and quality. They also mark the company’s eighth consecutive year of winning the AQM Award in the PV Modules category since receiving its first award in 2017.
Given the increasingly severe climate issues, prioritizing quality and reliability in PV modules is crucial. With the potential for extreme weather conditions like hurricanes, hailstorms, and rainstorms, module products must withstand the impact and risks over a lifespan of 25 years or more to ensure stable long-term benefits for power plants. Therefore, in the PV Modules category, a new PV Module Reliability Award was introduced, complementing the conventional PV Module Energy Yield Simulation Award.
