LONGi Hi-MO 9 Module Achieves CGC Carbon Footprint Certification

LONGi, a global leader in solar technology, has once again raised the bar for the photovoltaic industry. Its flagship Hi-MO 9 module, powered by HPBC 2.0 technology, has officially received the Product Carbon Footprint Label Certification from the China General Certification Center (CGC).

This achievement not only fills a critical gap in China’s newly implemented standard SJ/T 11926-2024, but also sets a benchmark for localized carbon footprint evaluation within the PV sector. By establishing a credible framework for data-based carbon assessments, LONGi is helping to guide the industry toward transparent and verifiable sustainability practices.

Designed for Utility-Scale Solar

The Hi-MO 9 is engineered for utility-scale applications, combining up to 24.8% conversion efficiency with a maximum output of 670W. These technical advances make it one of the most powerful and efficient modules available today, delivering greater energy yields and improved project economics for large-scale solar plants.

Certification Highlights

The CGC Product Carbon Footprint Certification highlights several industry-first breakthroughs:

• Full life-cycle coverage – The evaluation spans the module’s entire 25-year lifecycle, providing a comprehensive carbon accounting model.

• Localized database application – For the first time, a China-specific electricity emission factor was applied, ensuring accurate assessments that reflect the national energy mix.

• Deep decarbonization at source – LONGi incorporated green electricity in production and introduced low-carbon bill of materials (BOM), including low-energy raw materials and optimized carbon pathways across the supply chain.

Together, these measures substantially reduce the module’s overall carbon footprint.

A Benchmark for Low-Carbon Manufacturing

By achieving this milestone, LONGi demonstrates its commitment to green manufacturing and low-carbon innovation. The Hi-MO 9’s certification creates a replicable pathway for other solar manufacturers to follow, accelerating the decarbonization of China’s PV industry and setting a global example for carbon accountability.

Solar&Solar’s Perspective

At Solar&Solar, we welcome this achievement as proof of how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. The LONGi Hi-MO 9 module not only delivers unmatched power and efficiency for utility-scale projects but also represents a major step forward in the low-carbon transformation of the PV industry.

For developers, EPCs, and investors, it offers the best of both worlds: cutting-edge performance and verifiable sustainability credentials.
