LONGi has announced the signing of a framework agreement with Engie Solar to supply over 600 MW of high-efficiency PV modules for projects across the globe. Engie reported that it will work together with LONGi, a trusted and valuable partner, to solidify carbon emissions and to build a carbon-negative world. Through a stronger collaboration with Engie, LONGi aims to reinforce its presence in global markets and offer more opportunities to accelerate the global energy transition.
Earlier this month, LONGi reported that it had received an order for 190 MW of its solar modules for installation as part of projects awarded in Malaysia’s Large Scale Solar III tender. One of the contracts involves a 100-MW solar project in Kerian, Perak state, that is being developed by Engie Energie Services SA in partnership with TTL Energy.
In June 2020, LONGi officially launched its high-power module, the Hi-MO 5, which boasts a power output of 540W. This product is made of M10 silicon wafers with a conversion efficiency of more than 21 per cent. Since then, more and more ultra-high power modules have been launched, leading to manufacturers making power outputs over 500W the new industry standard.
LONGi Solar was founded in 2000 and now is a world-leading solar technology organization. The company has had a long-term, unswerving commitment to monocrystalline technology, convinced, rightly, that its general adoption would bring about significant technological change for the whole PV industry. The company has 15 manufacturing bases and more than 30 branches around the world producing monocrystalline silicon wafers and modules, delivering solutions for distributed and ground mount power station systems. In 2020, it became the first manufacturer to ship more than 20 GW of modules in a year.
