LONGi 490W Hi-MO X10 Explorer Monoglass Monofacial HPBC 54 Cell Black Frame MC4-EVO2 Solar Panel
The LONGi Hi-MO X10 is a Back-contact (BC) cell on an N-type TaiRay wafer solar panel. It delivers 24.0 % module efficiency from a 1,800 × 1,134 mm frame.
About the LONGi Hi-MO X10 range
Hi-MO X10 is LONGi's high-end residential platform. LONGi rates the HPBC 2.0 cell for higher generation from the same area, a gridline-free low-glare face, and an anti-shading function that limits localised overheating where part of the array is shaded.
At 1,800 × 1,134 mm it is a residential-format module, sized to fit the rafter spans and roof planes of a standard UK house.
Why installers specify this panel
- Hail tested to 25 mm at 23 m/s — relevant for exposed and upland UK sites.
- All-black appearance — a black anodised frame and dark cells, for domestic roofs where the array has to be discreet.
- Long-dated warranty — 15-year warranty for materials and processing and a 30-year linear power output warranty; first-year degradation under 1 %, 0.35 % per year from year 2 to 30.
