Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore has chosen LONGi Hi-MO X10 modules for a 1 MW solar installation to support its terminal expansion, with work planned to begin within the next two to three months. This marks the first deployment of solar modules at a major Pakistani airport and aligns the facility with national sustainability priorities while preserving operational safety and visual integrity.
The decision to install Hi-MO X10 panels reflects a strict requirement for airport-grade fire resistance and long-term dependability. Project stakeholders prioritized a solution that combines certified safety standards with aesthetic harmony, and the Hi-MO X10’s pure all-black appearance and anti-glare surface were decisive factors in meeting those needs. The modules are presented as delivering 30-year extreme reliability, a critical consideration for infrastructure expected to operate consistently over decades.
Built on Back Contact technology, the Hi-MO X10 modules offer superior energy performance and enhanced anti-shading capability, allowing higher output in the partial shading conditions common around airport buildings and equipment. The panels also reduce reflective glare, supporting flight operations and sightlines while maximizing generation from the initial 1 MW installation.
The 1 MW phase is designed with future expansion in mind, enabling additional capacity to be added as operational needs and system performance warrant. By deploying Hi-MO X10 modules now, the airport is positioning solar energy as a scalable pillar of its long-term sustainability strategy and aiming to lower lifecycle costs for public infrastructure through reliable, high-efficiency technology.
This project underscores a growing trend in Pakistan toward integrating advanced renewable solutions into critical public facilities. The Allama Iqbal International Airport’s adoption of Hi-MO X10 modules sets a practical example for other infrastructure projects seeking to combine safety, aesthetics and sustained energy performance while reducing carbon footprint.
