Longi: What solar efficiency records mean for homeowners - A glance at the future of solar with Back Contact and Tandem technology
Frankfurt am Main
Solar panels are no longer just a tool for cutting electricity bills. They are becoming a long-term investment in home energy independence. And with every jump in solar cell efficiency, that investment becomes more powerful, compact, and future-ready. This spring, solar technology leader Longi announced not one, but two new world records in solar efficiency. These achievements offer a glimpse of what homeowners might soon see on their rooftops.
Look out for Back Contact Technology and Tandem - two new efficiency milestones achieved
In May, Longi reached 27.81% efficiency in a solar cell using heterojunction interdigitated back contact (HIBC) technology. Independently verified by Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin (ISFH), this result now stands as the world’s highest efficiency for monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells.
At the same time, Longi also set a new world record with its Tandem solar technology, combining silicon and perovskite layers to achieve a confirmed 34.85% cell efficiency.
These developments are also signs of where the solar market is headed: more electricity from smaller surfaces, improved aesthetics with no visible front-side wiring, and better performance in varying light conditions.
Why Back Contact technology means more power for your home and Tandem Technology could be the next big thing...

Germany’s pharmacies under pressure: Statistical Yearbook 2025 now available16.7.2025 12:00:23 CEST | Press release
(Berlin, Germany) – ABDA – Federal Union of German Associations of Pharmacists has released the Statistical Yearbook “German Pharmacies: Figures, Data, Facts 2025”. The publication offers a comprehensive overview of the latest trends in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors in Germany and beyond. It shows that the number of pharmacies has decreased again. At the end of 2024 there were 17.041 pharmacies in Germany, which is the lowest number since the end of the 1970s. One of the main reasons for the increasing number of pharmacy closures is the economic difficulties many pharmacies are facing. Since the pharmacy remuneration has not been elevated in the past 12 years, around 25 percent of German pharmacies have earnings below 75.000 Euros a year. Around 7 percent of German pharmacies made losses in 2024. Those and other relevant facts and figures are shown on more than 130 pages in a revamped design of the new Statistical Yearbook – with several features that make the content easie
