LONGi Wins Three Awards from TÜV Rheinland, Marking the Eighth Consecutive Year of winning the AQM Award in the PV Modules category

Published

on

The 10th All Quality Matters (AQM) Solar & ESS Congress, organized by the TÜV Rheinland Group, took place in Shanghai on September 3, 2024. The congress featured 25 AQM Award groups in three categories: PV Modules, Solar Energy Storage Systems, and PV Power Plants. 

SHANGHAI, Sept. 6, 2024 /CNW/ — In recent developments, LONGi has been conferred with the AQM Award for both PV Module Energy Yield Simulation and PV Module Reliability. This distinction was awarded in recognition of the exceptional power generation performance and proven reliability of the innovative Hi-MO 9 module, which was underpinned by the advanced second-generation back-contact (BC 2.0) cell technology. Hi-MO X6, proven in a variety of outdoor empirical tests, received the PV Module Outdoor Energy Yield AQM Award in the Monofacial Group. These achievements solidify LONGi’s position as a leader in module efficiency and quality. They also mark the company’s eighth consecutive year of winning the AQM Award in the PV Modules category since receiving its first award in 2017.

Given the increasingly severe climate issues, prioritizing quality and reliability in PV modules is crucial. With the potential for extreme weather conditions like hurricanes, hailstorms, and rainstorms, module products must withstand the impact and risks over a lifespan of 25 years or more to ensure stable long-term benefits for power plants. Therefore, in the PV Modules category, a new PV Module Reliability Award was introduced, complementing the conventional PV Module Energy Yield Simulation Award.

Against this backdrop, LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 module underwent rigorous sampling and specialized testing according to TÜV Rheinland’s evaluation standards. These tests aimed to simulate the module’s power generation performance in different geographical and weather conditions, as well as assess its long-term stability and reliability when exposed to extreme weather during real-life operations. The Hi-MO 9 module features HPBC 2.0 cell technology, LONGi’s high-quality Tairay silicon wafers, and composite passivation technology. These advancements significantly enhance the cells’ light absorption, photovoltaic conversion, and current transmission capabilities. Empowered by this new-generation high-efficiency power generation technology, the Hi-MO 9 module can efficiently generate electricity even in harsh outdoor environments characterized by uneven light irradiation, high temperatures, and humidity. Following authoritative evaluation and rounds of testing by TÜV Rheinland, the Hi-MO 9 module stood out for its exceptional performance, earning LONGi the PV Module Energy Yield Simulation Award and the PV Module Reliability Award.

Additionally, the Hi-MO X6 module, the PV Module Outdoor Energy Yield AQM Award winner in the Monofacial Group, has showed a notable performance boost compared to standard modules. The Hi-MO X6 (Anti-dust) module, in particular, tested over a seven-month period by the National Center of Quality Supervision and Inspection for Photovoltaic Products (CPVT). It delivered an average monthly power generation increase of 2.84%, peaking at 5.4% in January. It also operated at temperatures 4.01% lower than conventional modules, significantly reducing power loss and improving overall reliability.

Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi, was invited to attend the Leaders Forum as part of the Congress. He emphasized the need for continuous innovation among photovoltaic enterprises in response to industry fluctuations and challenges amid the global economic pressure and fierce market competition. He expressed confidence that LONGi’s BC cell technology, known for its ultra-high efficiency and reliability, will bring a new leap in commercial value to the end market. At the end, Dennis proclaimed that the BC era represented by the Hi-MO 9 has arrived.

As the solar PV industry enters the BC era, LONGi’s cutting-edge BC cell technology and products will provide greater impetus for the global endeavor to reduce carbon emissions and pursue sustainable development.

The Authority™ Introduces Industry’s First Universal Public Grading Standard for Collectibles

Published

By

For the First Time, Collectors Can Validate If Their Collectible Was Graded Correctly with the
World’s First Public Grading Standard 

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dynamics Inc., the leader in security and collectible technologies, today announced the publication of the Universal Public Grading Standard™, the industry’s first public collectible grading standard. For the first time, collectors can enjoy consistency in grading with the ability to confirm for themselves that an item was graded correctly.

Starting today, collectors can view the Universal Public Grading Standard™ on www.TheAuthority.com.

The first Universal Public Grading Standard introduced is the Universal Public Grading Standard for Comic Books.

“Without a public grading standard, the hobby is plagued by inconsistency, confusion, fraud, and mistrust. The dark ages of grading are coming to an end,” said Jeffrey Mullen, CEO of Dynamics Inc. “Today, The Authority introduces the industry’s first public grading standard. For the first time, everyone has access to a common standard for grading collectibles. Collectors can now independently determine, understand, and validate a collectible’s grade using a transparent and repeatable process. Confidence in grading should not depend on simply trusting someone else’s opinion. True consistency and trust can only exist when the grading standards and processes are open for everyone to see.”

The Universal Public Grading Standard is broken into three steps:

Identify the Components of the Collectible: Define the exact boundaries of each component on a collectible so each component can be independently evaluated. For the first time, collectors can understand where the spine of a comic book starts and the front cover of a comic book ends. Identify Damage and Determine Component Grade™ with Damage Tables: Different components may have different types of damage, each with their own method of quantification. Identify the damage type and use the associated damage table(s) to determine the Component Grade.Final Grade Matrix™: Once all of the Component Grades have been determined for a collectible, the final grade is found using the Final Grade Matrix. This matrix provides the final grade for each possible component combination to ensure a precise, consistent grade for each collectible.

“A comic book is historically a very difficult item to grade because of its complex, multi-material construction,” said Jeffrey Mullen. “Our goal in developing the Universal Public Grading Standard was not simply to teach a few hundred experts how to grade a collectible; it was to create a universal standard that anyone could read, understand, and apply to consistently arrive at the correct grade. We believe we have accomplished that goal.”

The Comic Book grading standard is released today as part of the Universal Public Grading Standard for Trade Paperbacks and Periodicals (Comics, Magazines, Treasuries).

Dynamics manages The Authority™, the world’s first real-time, vertically integrated, multi-category collectible e-commerce platform. The Authority™ enables users to instantly vault, purchase, encapsulate, authenticate, grade, sell, and fulfill a collectible within minutes.

New Days on the Roof of the World: Four Elders on 75 Years of Change in Xizang

Published

on

By

RIKAZE, China, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily.

Only those who have borne the bitter cold can savour spring’s gentle warmth.

Puciren was born in 1944 in Rikaze, Xizang, and spent his boyhood under a serf owner’s roof. After the peaceful liberation of Xizang in 1951, he went to school for the first time, with a satchel on his back, and learned his first Chinese character: ren, meaning “person.” His teacher told him that its two strokes support each other—only then can a person stand upright. Now 82, he volunteers as a guide at the Memorial Hall of the Emancipation of One Million Serfs in Xizang, and serves as an off-campus moral education tutor at the primary school attached to Lasa Normal University. He shares what he lived through with children to help them better know the road that brought them here.

Qiongjie County in Shannan is home to the Jiuhe Zhuo dance. In his younger years, Nima Wangjiu was a serf, and he danced only to pay taxes. After democratic reform of Xizang in 1959, he earned his first-ever income through this dance. It dawned on him that dancing could be a dignified and joyful pursuit. Now a national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Jiuhe Zhuo Dance, the octogenarian has trained more than 80 young successors, bringing the millennia-old dance out of the remote mountains and onto stages across China.

In Sangba Village, Bailang County, Rikaze, the weaving craft in Baima’s family has been passed down for three generations. In the old days, she labored from dawn to dusk alongside her mother, only receiving a small bowl of thin tsampa in return. After the peaceful liberation of Xizang, every inch the family wove belonged to them. Pulu weaving has since grown into a thriving local industry. The craft is now carried forward by Baiyang, the family’s third‑generation inheritor, who is determined to take it out of Rikaze, out of the plateau, and into the global stage.

In a nursing home in Sangri County, Shannan, 82-year-old Cideji ran her fingers over her resident ID card and hummed a folk song. Orphaned at a young age, she once had nowhere to go and huddled in a cattle pen to get through the cold nights. Now she has a home, enjoying a secure old age with guaranteed care and medical treatment. “This ID card is my certificate of happiness.” she said.

From education to food security, from employment to medical services, livelihood benefits are finding their way into the daily lives of plateau families. This warmth of spring unfurls slowly, stretching across the high plateau.
