Earth’s temperature is only getting warmer, and LONGi is testing its modules’ capacity to withstand extreme temperatures during product design and thresher verification phases.

The standard operating temperature of a PV module is higher than the ambient temperature. Under continuous exposure to extreme high temperatures, the temperature of a module at a solar power plant can reach 75°C or more, and the working temperature of its internal cells may be even higher.

Existing base testing parameters commonly set the maximum temperature for a PV module at 85°C, however, in some extreme conditions, its working temperature may exceed this level.

LONGi’s Hi-MO 5 module passed the stringent thresher thermal cycling testing and is the first to receive the associated IEC 62892 certification. LONGi high-efficiency modules have also completed IEC TS 63126:2020 testing.

We have a ton video interviews and additional content on our YouTube page. Recently we debuted Power Forward! -- a collaboration with BayWa r.e. to discuss higher level industry topics as well as best practices / trends for running a solar business today. Our longer running side project is The Pitch -- in which we have awkward discussions with solar manufacturers and suppliers about their new technology and ideas so that you don't have to. We've discusses everything from residential rail-less deck attaching and home solar financing to large-scale energy storage value stacking and utility-driven new home solar + storage microgrids. We also post our Project of the Year announcements there! Interviews with this year's winners will be up starting the week of Nov. 8. Head there and subscribe today to stay on top of all this extra stuff.
