Key Differences

Efficiency Edge: LONGi

The Hi-MO 7 models we list state module efficiencies from 21.6% to 23.6%, on what their records call HPDC cell technology. The top of that range is 1.2 points above the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro's 22.4% and the bottom of it is below, so compare model against model.

Manufacturing Scale: LONGi

LONGi is the world's largest solar panel manufacturer with over 100 GW of annual production capacity, providing greater supply security and economies of scale.

Price: Close

Both brands are competitively priced. JA Solar panels may be marginally cheaper in some markets, while a higher-efficiency Hi-MO 7 model produces more energy from the same roof area.

Which Should You Choose?

  • Choose LONGi Hi-MO 7 if you want module efficiency of up to 23.6%, proven performance in major UAE projects, and the industry's largest manufacturer backing your warranty.
  • Choose JA Solar DeepBlue 4.0 if local pricing is significantly lower and its 22.4% efficiency is enough for your project economics.

Before deciding, read the LONGi figures at their source: Hi-MO 5 against Hi-MO 7 sets a PERC record and a TOPCon record side by side, and the ready-made systems show the panel count each kind of building needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LONGi better than JA Solar?

It depends on the model. The Hi-MO 7 panels we list state 21.6–23.6% module efficiency against the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro's 22.4%, and a −0.28%/°C temperature coefficient against −0.29%/°C. LONGi has the larger manufacturing scale; JA Solar is a strong competitor with similar degradation rates.

Are both available in the UAE?

Yes. Both have strong distribution in the UAE and are approved for DEWA installations.

Which has better hot-climate performance?

The two are very close: the Hi-MO 7 states −0.28%/°C and the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro −0.29%/°C, so the Hi-MO 7 loses slightly less power as the panel heats.
