LONGi Hi-MO X10 Modules Power Djibouti’s First Off-Grid Solar Project

LONGi Solar, in collaboration with its authorized partner Proxy Group, has launched Djibouti’s first off-grid solar power project in Adailou Village, Tadjourah region. This milestone deployment features LONGi’s latest Hi-MO X10 modules, delivering reliable energy access to a rural community long underserved by conventional power infrastructure.

Tackling Energy Poverty in Remote Communities

Adailou, a remote village, faced prolonged darkness and limited development opportunities due to energy poverty. The new 165 kW solar power plant with a 500 kWh energy storage system directly addresses these challenges, ensuring electricity for homes, schools, healthcare centers, and small businesses.

Operational Details: Hi-MO X10 Advantages

The project integrates LONGi’s HPBC 2.0-based Hi-MO X10 modules, offering:

• Power density up to 670 W per module

• Superior temperature coefficient (-0.26%/°C)

• Anti-shading performance reducing power loss by 70%

• Low degradation rates (1% in year one, 0.35% annually thereafter)

Huawei’s Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) complements the solar modules, ensuring uninterrupted supply and efficient energy distribution.

Economic Impact: Sustainability and Development

Reliable electricity translates into improved quality of life for Adailou residents, enabling education, healthcare, and small businesses to thrive. With minimal maintenance needs, the system ensures long-term sustainability and reduced reliance on fossil fuels, cutting operational costs for remote microgrids.

Strategic Significance: LONGi’s “Light Up Africa” Mission

The project aligns with LONGi’s “Light Up Africa” initiative, demonstrating how solar technology can drive equitable energy access. By pioneering off-grid solutions in Djibouti, LONGi reinforces its role in supporting Africa’s sustainable development while showcasing the durability and efficiency of the Hi-MO X10 in harsh environments.
