This refers to how much power a solar panel loses for every \u00b0C above 25\u00b0C (panel temperature, not ambient air temperature).<\/p>\n<p>Longi says the panels are low-LID (Light Induced Degradation), but makes no mention of Light &amp; elevated Temperature Induced Degradation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/perc-solar-panels-letid\/\">LeTID<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The 72-cell panel weighs in at 23kg and measures 2006 x 994 x 35mm. The 60-cell Hi-MO X weighs 19kg and has dimensions of 1762 x 9994 x 35mm. On a related note, if you&#8217;re considering installing 72-cell panels on your home, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/72-cell-solar-panels\/\">check out this article from Ronald<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Longi Hi-MO X Datasheets:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.longi-solar.com\/uploads\/attach\/20190812\/5d50c2b57a240.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hi-MO X LR6-72OPH 385-405W<\/a> (72-cell)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.longi-solar.com\/uploads\/attach\/20190812\/5d50c2c76a2b2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hi-MO X LR6-60OPH 335-355W<\/a> (60-cell)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Longi says the Hi-MO X has also pre-qualified for two new categories that will be added to the Clean Energy Council&#8217;s approved PV modules list &#8211; JCU Cyclonic Testing and MAST Backsheet Durability.

The company also has big plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/longi-jinko-solar-manufacturing-mb1038\/\">boosting cell and solar panel production<\/a> capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Also last week, Longi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.ca\/news-releases\/longi-reaches-record-bankability-rating-in-latest-bloomberg-nef-results-835641668.html\">said<\/a> it had recorded its highest-ever bankability rating (91%) in the recently released Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) Solar Module &amp; Inverter Bankability 2019 report. &#8220;Bankability&#8221; refers to how financially stable a solar panel manufacturer appears to be.
