LONGi, ENGIE Deploy Hi-MO 9 With Back Contact Technology In MENA Region By Chitrika Grover/ Updated On Wed, May 7th, 2025 Highlights : This collaboration highlights the industry’s increasing recognition of back contact (BC) technology as a key solution for renewable energy installations. LONGi, ENGIE Partner to Deploy Back Contact Technology in Solar Projects LONGi, a solar technology company secured an agreement with ENGIE, to deploy its advanced Hi-MO 9 modules for major utility-scale solar projects in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This collaboration highlights the increasing recognition of back contact (BC) technology as a key solution for renewable energy installations. The high-power density of Hi-MO 9 modules optimizes land use, contributing to more sustainable development practices. LONGi and ENGIE are committed to upholding rigorous environmental protocols throughout the project lifecycle. Why Hi-MO 9 Stands Apart This partnership between LONGi and ENGIE underscores the transformative potential of Hi-MO 9 modules, powered by cutting-edge BC technology. LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 modules with its highest power of 670W, a 24.8% major efficiency and its superior bifaciality up to 80%, represent a leap forward in photovoltaic innovation. By relocating all cell electrodes to the rear of the module, this revolutionary design eliminates shading losses and maximizes light capture, resulting in industry-leading conversion efficiency. Furthermore, this design enhances temperature coefficient performance, ensuring consistent power output even in challenging environmental conditions. Combined with LONGi’s stringent quality standards, Hi-MO 9 offers developers unparalleled reliability and optimal long-term returns. LONGi And ENGIE Collaboration “ENGIE’s selection of Hi-MO 9 is a testament to the global energy sector’s recognition of BC technology as the ultimate frontier in solar innovation.” Stated Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi. “LONGi’s collaboration with ENGIE sets a new benchmark for utility-scale solar deployments worldwide. This partnership reaffirms our commitment to delivering solutions that redefine efficiency, durability, and sustainability.” “For ENGIE, this partnership with LONGi reflects our commitment to lead the global energy transition through the adoption of cutting-edge, innovative and sustainable solutions. This collaboration agreement will serve as a model for large-scale solar development in Middle-East and North-Africa, driving progress toward a carbon-neutral future,” said François-Xavier BOUL, ENGIE Managing Director MENA Renewables & Batteries.
