These modules are based on **monocrystalline PERC solar cells doped with gallium**, effectively reducing light-induced degradation (LID) and helping maintain stable performance over the long term. In practice, this means less disappointment in subsequent seasons and more predictable savings. What stands out in this series is **Smart Soldering - segmented soldering tapes**, which better manages stresses in the cells and improves reliability during daily temperature fluctuations. Additionally, **optimized electrical parameters** simplify equipment selection-modules work well with popular inverters and MLPE devices (e.g., optimizers, string inverters). The Hi-MO 5m (G2) is a good choice for homes, micro-installations, and smaller C&I roofs, especially when a **compact format** and **aesthetic appearance (including all-black variants)** are important, while simultaneously expecting high performance in weaker morning, evening, and less-than-ideal light incidence angles. ## Notable figures - 21.8% module efficiency - 1.2pp better than the \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median of 20.6% - Power density of 217.6 W/m² packs 11.4 W/m² more into the same footprint vs \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median (206.2 W/m²) - At -0.34%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* panels - At 20.8 kg, this panel is 1.2 kg lighter than \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median (22.0 kg) - easier handling during installation - In the top 50% for efficiency among all PERC panels ## Questions ### What is the warranty on Longi Solar Hi-MO 5m (G2) panels? Longi Solar provides a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power output warranty for the Hi-MO 5m (G2) series. The power warranty guarantees that the panels retain a specified percentage of their rated output over the full 25-year period — a standard offering from a Tier 1 manufacturer of this caliber. Keep all warranty documents together with the installer invoice. ### Are Longi Hi-MO 5m (G2) panels suitable for a pitched residential roof? Yes, the Hi-MO 5m (G2) series was designed with rooftop installations in mind. The compact module format simplifies mounting on standard racking systems, and the all-black variant blends seamlessly with dark roof tiles. The 144 half-cut cell layout improves shading tolerance, which matters on roofs with chimneys, dormers, or other obstructions that cause partial shading. ### What is Smart Soldering technology in the Hi-MO 5m (G2) and why does it matter? Smart Soldering refers to the segmented soldering ribbons used in the Hi-MO 5m (G2) series. They distribute mechanical stress that builds up during daily thermal cycling — the module heating up and cooling down. This reduces the risk of microcracks in the cells, resulting in higher long-term reliability, especially in climates with wide temperature swings between seasons. ### What is the maximum power of the Longi Hi-MO 5m (G2) and is an all-black version available? The top power rating in the Hi-MO 5m (G2) series is 565 Wp. The series also includes all-black variants with a black frame and black backsheet, significantly improving the visual appearance of installations on dark roof coverings. Check with your local distributor for current availability of specific color variants, as lead times may differ. ### Why are Hi-MO 5m (G2) cells gallium-doped and how does it affect long-term degradation? Gallium doping in the PERC cells of the Hi-MO 5m (G2) series effectively suppresses LID (Light-Induced Degradation), a phenomenon that causes power loss in conventional boron-doped cells within the first weeks of operation. In practice, the panel stabilizes at its rated output faster and loses less energy over its entire service life, improving the overall LCOE of the installation. ### Are Longi Hi-MO 5m (G2) panels compatible with power optimizers and microinverters? Yes, the optimized electrical parameters of the Hi-MO 5m (G2) series make it straightforward to pair with MLPE devices such as power optimizers and microinverters from major manufacturers. The modules also work well with standard string inverters. Before purchasing, verify that your chosen inverter's MPPT voltage range matches the specifications listed in the datasheet for your specific wattage variant. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Hi-MO-5m-L-Gi-LE-PM-T-PMD-059-F116-LR-5-54-HPH-405-425-M-G2-1ffcd37fdaf9.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-475) | 475 W | Cooler, +2.2 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Just Solar JST-EDMH-(445-465)W-TD (465W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/just-solar-jst-edmh-445-465-w-td-465w-class) | 465 W | Cooler, +2.0 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [JA Solar JAT54S40-475/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat54s40-475-lr) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Tongwei TWMNH-48HW475](https://comparepv.com/panel/tongwei-solar-twmnh-48hw475) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Astronergy CHSM48RN(DG)/F-BH-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm48rn-dg-f-bh-475) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A475-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a475-mce54mw) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A475-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a475-mah54mw) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HIB-390M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hib-390m) | 390 W | -35 W, -1.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HIB-395M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hib-395m) | 395 W | -30 W, -1.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HPB-400M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hpb-400m) | 400 W | -25 W, -1.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HPH-405M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hph-405m) | 405 W | -20 W, -1.1 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HPH-410M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hph-410m) | 410 W | -15 W, -0.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +85 W, cooler, +3.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +70 W, cooler, +3.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +80 W, cooler, +2.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hph-425m Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
