Longi has actually revealed it will move from a 15 to 25 year item service warranty on its roof Hi-MO 5m modules in Australia. The relocation brings its item and efficiency service warranties into line at 25 years and follows a much more comprehensive pattern of ballooning solar service warranties.

The item service warranty boost uses to the Longi module types:

• LR5-54HPH-xxxM (54-cell Series)
• LR5-54HPB-xxxM (54-cell Series)

This series was created generally for property and C&I roof systems, producing an optimal power output of 415 Watts with a performance of 21.25%. The modules utilize P-type innovation, which Longi stays devoted to amidst a migration towards N-type innovation amongst its peers.

Brett Robinson, nationwide sales supervisor at Longi Solar Australia, informed pv publication Australia throughout the 2022 All-Energy conference in Melbourne that Longi has actually picked to wait P-type as it thinks this course holds more supreme worth for the consumer.

That is, while N-type is thought about to have a supremacies in regards to its wafer, the cells are more difficult to produce and those advantages are exceeded by the included expenses.

Robinson stated of the service warranty increase: “We wish to ensure that our items and our service warranties are clear proof of the strong R&D assistance our operation has.”

Growing solar service warranties hold an anxious position in the minds of some installers though, who declare they are a marketing function for producers and it is eventually them– the installers– who take the fall when items have issues.
