SEVILLE, Spain, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global technical engineering consultancy Enertis Applus+ has released a comprehensive analysis of a 47MW single-axis tracker PV project in Seville, Spain, comparing the commercial performance of back-contact (BC) and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technologies. Energy Yield Assessments (EYA) were conducted based on module data provided by LONGi. The results confirm that LONGi’s HPBC2.0 modules Hi-MO 9 significantly outperform TOPCon alternatives in power generation efficiency, cost control, and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), providing robust technical validation for utility-scale solar deployments worldwide. 

Key Findings:

• 3.4% Higher Energy Yield per Watt: Hi-MO 9 generated 2,209 hours of first-year operation – 2.4%-3.4% more than TOPCon equivalents, directly increasing project revenue. 
• Cost Parity Despite Premium Pricing: With Hi-MO 9 priced just 0.7¢/W higher than TOPCon, total CAPEX remained comparable through optimized system design and cost structures. 

 

 

• Industry-Leading LCOE Reduction: Hi-MO 9 achieved an LCOE of €0.02706/kWh – 3.92-4.47% lower than TOPCon modules. Cost advantages stem from: Reduced fixed cost allocation per unit energy via higher yield; Variable cost compression through enhanced tracker compatibility and reduced electrical losses. 

 

The study confirms BC technology’s unique capacity to maximize lifetime return on investment through synergistic “efficiency gains + cost control” effects. By significantly lowering electricity production costs, Hi-MO 9 enables solar assets to compete more effectively in global energy markets while accelerating decarbonization efforts.

GUANGZHOU, China, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Heungkong Group, Panasonic Electric, and Tantron Technology have announced the mid-stage outcomes of their collaborative innovation, the “8 Constants+ Forest Environment System,” on World Environment Day, June 5, 2025. This pioneering solution signifies a significant advancement at the intersection of smart environmental control, ecological science, and human well-being, setting a new benchmark for sustainable development.

As the world’s first intelligent indoor regulation system modeled on forest ecosystem dynamics, the 8 Constants + Forest Environment System applies the principles of environmental bionics to recreate a forest-like indoor environment. The system operates through eight core elements: constant temperature, humidity, oxygen level, cleanliness, quietness, airflow, intelligence, and control.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and former European Council President and ex-Prime Minister of Sweden, John Fredrik Reinfeldt, delivered congratulatory video messages for the occasion. Mr. Hatoyama said, “Environmental challenges have become a critical global issue and we are making every effort to address it. This collaboration harnesses the technical strengths of China and Japan to create a new-generation atmospheric platform—a powerful example of bilateral innovation. We are confident that this advancement will support smarter, healthier, and more comfortable living environments for people in the two countries and beyond.”

Mr. Reinfeldt commended the milestone, stating that healthy indoor environments are a global priority and that the system sets an exemplary standard for indoor environmental enhancement worldwide.

Experts in green technology, environmental systems, and health-focused architecture also commended the platform for its technical achievements.

All-China Environment Federation chairman Wang Xiufeng commented, “The 8 Constants + Forest Environment System provides an intelligent ecological solution to address human health challenges. It demonstrates how advanced technologies can drive the shift toward sustainable living, while reinforcing the role of enterprises in promoting ecological stewardship and global climate action.” Xing Lei, Secretary-General of the World Green Design Organization, added that the system delivers a novel model for sustainable and healthy living spaces.

Heungkong Group chairwoman Mei Hing Chak said, “Technological innovation is the engine of our business strategy. By working closely with world-class scientific institutions and industrial partners, Heungkong has merged Panasonic’s global leadership in environmental sensing, Tantron’s proprietary algorithmic intelligence, and the practical ecosystem of our Heungkong-1 flagship residential project. The result is a new standard for indoor environmental science. In the years ahead, we will expand our innovation framework and deepen international partnerships to accelerate deployment and scalable impact.”

Matsui Jun, Head of Panasonic China & Northeast Asia’s HVAC Division, described the joint project as a testament to China–Japan technical synergy, “This system will set new industry benchmarks for healthy living environments, delivering tangible benefits to communities and consumers.”

Tantron founder Yao Minghai noted, “The 8 Constants + Forest Environment System delivers multiple world-first innovations, most notably its self-learning natural language interface. Unlike conventional systems requiring precise commands, the system, for instance, interprets casual expressions like ‘I’m sleepy’ to automatically dim lights, adjust ambiance and optimize sleep temperature. This isn’t just automation – it’s an adaptive living system that anticipates needs and personalizes experiences.”

The ‘8 Constants+ Forest Environment System’ brings together the core strengths of all three partners in a strategic collaboration: Panasonic provides the hardware platform, integrating its industry-leading precision sensors and HVAC technologies; Tantron drives innovation through proprietary AI algorithms and adaptive interaction architecture; and Heungkong Group leads scenario-based application and market enablement, drawing on its real-world project expertise to ensure scalable, ready-for-deployment solutions.
