Great Talents Gather
The bifi PV Workshop is a top-notch global academic summit in the photovoltaic industry. For the first time in 2024, it was held in China, especially in Zhuhai, where is the location of the world’s first 10GW-scale BC cell and module production base, to open a new chapter in bifacial BC technology. This is also the first important ecological meeting in the global photovoltaic industry focusing on the BC technology route. Chinese photovoltaic enterprises continue to lead the global industrial landscape and lead scientific and technological innovation.

BC Leaders Dialogue
Gang Chen, Chairman of Aiko, Baoshen Zhong, Chairman of LONGi Green Energy, Wenzhong Shen, Director
of the Solar Energy Research Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Fang Lyu, Secretary-General of the Photovoltaic Special
Committee of the China Green Supply Chain Alliance, gathered together to discuss BC technology. They discussed the value, advantages, and future prospects of BC technology, and they agreed that BC is currently
the most cost-effective and competitive technology route for crystalline silicon, and BC is a must-have technology for crystalline silicon.
The significant impact of BC technology on the future of the photovoltaic industry
Round Table Forum
Dr. Yongqian Wang, Chief Scientist of Aiko, Dr. Xixiang Xu, Chief Scientist of Longi, Dr. Guangqi Xu, Chief Engineer of Maxeon, Dr. Radovan Kopecek, Co-founder of Konstanz They jointly discussed the significant impact of BC technology on the future of the photovoltaic industry. Min Ge, co-founder of TaiyangNews, presided over the roundtable discussion.

Dr. Xixiang Xu
Chief Scientist of Longi
Leading the Future of Bifacial Technology
At LONGi, we initiated BC projects with a vision for high conversion efficiency, resulting in significant advancements in both p-type and n-type technologies. We are committed to leading this charge.
Dr. Guangqi Xu
Principle Engineer of Maxeon
Setting New Standards in Bifacial Cell Efficiency
Maxeon has pioneered BC development for nearly 40 years, achieving major milestones like the first commercially available BC cells at 20% efficiency. By choosing the right metallization methods, BC technology can deliver 1% to 1.5% higher efficiency over TOPCon.
