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.

HSBC executive recognized for a career building businesses, developing talent, and widening access to wealth and financial prosperity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) will honor Racquel Oden, HSBC’s U.S. Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking and Private Banking, with the 2026 ELC Achievement Award at The ELC Recognition Gala on October 30, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

With more than 25 years of financial services experience, Oden has built a career at the intersection of business growth, client leadership, and talent development. At HSBC, she leads businesses serving affluent and globally connected clients in the United States, bringing a client-first approach to one of the world’s largest financial services organizations.

“Racquel brings a rare combination of commercial discipline and genuine investment in people,” said Michael C. Hyter, President and CEO of The Executive Leadership Council. “She understands that leadership is measured in business results, certainly, but also in the people you prepare for greater responsibility and the doors you make easier for others to open. Her career reflects the kind of enterprise leadership The ELC has championed for 40 years.”

Oden’s career spans some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Prior to HSBC, she served as a Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led Network Expansion and held leadership roles across national sales, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. She previously spent eight years at Merrill Lynch in several Managing Director roles and more than a decade at UBS in senior leadership positions. She began her Wall Street career in equity trading at Morgan Stanley.

Throughout that journey, Oden has described her leadership philosophy as one rooted in service and in helping people become the strongest versions of themselves. That philosophy also informs her work to expand access to wealth, opportunity, and financial fluency.

Her leadership extends across corporate and civic institutions. Oden serves on the corporate board of National Life Group and chairs the Board of Directors of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. She also serves on the boards of the Apollo Theater and the New York City Police Foundation.

Her honors include the National Urban League’s 2026 Women of Power award and recognition among Barron’s Most Influential Women in Finance, American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Finance and Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

Oden holds a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University and an MBA from Hampton University.

The ELC Achievement Award recognizes corporate executives whose careers reflect exceptional professional accomplishment, leadership and impact. Oden joins a distinguished group of past ELC honorees whose influence has reached across companies, industries and communities.

Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist and Entertainment Tonight co-host Kevin Frazier, the black-tie celebration will feature a special musical performance by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Chaka Khan.

The Gala is the signature fundraising event of The ELC’s 2026 Gala Week, October 28–31, which will bring together more than 3,000 members, students, senior executives and business leaders as The ELC celebrates its 40th anniversary.
