Conventional solar modules, with metallic silver busbars and blue cell surfaces, can generate intense reflection at specific angles and unintentionally cause annoying and even dangerous glare. This mirrored effect not only poses an annoyance but also threatens the visual safety of pilots, train engineers, drivers, and residents living near solar installations.
Australia’s unique landscape, with ample commercial and industrial rooftops, provides a fertile ground for adopting solar energy; yet, the challenge of glare is amplified in zones where industrial activities are directly adjacent to residential areas, including warehouses, production facilities, and small ground power stations near urban areas.
Against this backdrop, Longi Hi-MO X6 anti-glare module, with the matte black cell and sub-micron small textured surface, inherent anti-glare properties eliminating the need for front-facing metallic busbars, features Nano-scale anti-reflective coating and specially treated glass to minimise light reflection. It has passed rigorous testing by Singapore’s SAC-certified OTM lab, with a total solar reflectivity of just 0.9%, effectively preventing dazzling diffused or mirror reflections. This technology will be seamlessly integrated into Hi-MO X10.
China’s National Center of Supervision and Inspection on Solar Photovoltaic Product Quality (CPVT) has thoroughly tested the anti-glare performance of Longi’s Hi-MO X6 and conventional TOPCon modules. The tests revealed that the reflectivity of Longi’s BC technology-based Hi-MO X6 dual-glass modules was up to 74.5% lower than conventional TOPCon dual-glass modules, and the maximum brightness in the busbar area was reduced by 99.28%.
This innovation arrives at a time when Australian residents are voicing concerns over the effects of reflected sunlight, and commercial and industrial property owners are weighing the benefits of solar power installations. Longi’s Hi-MO X6 modules not only satisfy but excel in meeting these needs, offering an anti-glare solution that ensures both the performance of solar power and the preservation of local living conditions.
