In November 2022, LONGi set a world record for the conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon cells at 26. . On April 11th, LONGi announced at its Wuhu base in Anhui Province, China: Through the authoritative certification of the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) in Germany, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of its independently developed Hybrid Interdigitated-Back-Contact (HIBC). . Longi said it has achieved a 27. Chinese PV module maker Longi has revealed that its proprietary hybrid interdigitated back contact (HIBC) crystalline silicon. . NLR maintains a chart of the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for research cells for a range of photovoltaic technologies, plotted from 1976 to the present. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) confirmed the efficiency.
