The module giant's 2026 Shanghai launch stacked eight innovations spanning cells, modules, hardware and software, lifting standard module output above 690 watts, and possibly the whole sector past its ruinous price war.
Portfolio One brings LONGi‘s modules and in-house 5S storage under a single architecture, tailored to utility-scale, commercial and off-grid use, with the cloud-based Oneos platform handling control and virtual power plant functions.
The two companies have signed an MoU covering BIPV deployment at DHL sites in Europe, joint solar-plus-storage development and expanded logistics support for LONGi's growing battery storage portfolio.
Certified by ESTI in July 2026, the result is the latest in a rapid sequence of gains from LONGi's Central Research Institute, which has added more than 1.5 percentage points since mid-2024.
The 300 MWh installation, built for four-hour discharge, will help stabilise the Italian grid during non-solar peak hours, supporting the country's PNIEC goals with dispatchable clean power.
PV Guided Tours: LONGi ONE is an integrated storage platform for C&I applications, featuring intelligent energy management and a TÜV-certified early warning system at cell level. Watch the video to find out why storage is becoming a key component of modern energy infrastructure.
CEO Talk: The utility business in Europe is growing and increasingly challenging. Solar fields now come with large batteries, and suppliers must meet standards for grid compliance, safety and security. How is the business changing and what strategy will ultimately succeed? Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, shares his view.
Launched at Intersolar Europe, the LONGi ONE portfolio pairs the manufacturer's BC solar technology with storage systems built for utility-scale, commercial and off-grid deployment, backed by a growing European service network.
Covering C&I and utility-scale storage, specialised modules for constrained environments and a deployable containerised system, LONGi's Intersolar showcase reflects the broadening demands of European solar markets.
Solar Fabrik launches its first coloured module for heritage roofs, Valentin Software updates PV-Sol Premium and GeoT-Sol, Intilion unveils a modular large-scale storage platform, and Longi introduces a fire-resistant rooftop module.
Aimed at warehouses, data centres and logistics sites, the Hi-Mo X10 focuses on meeting fire safety requirements in rooftop PV installations.
Europe's C&I segment is the target of the new LONGi ONE portfolio, which debuts with the OmniCube-L233 and Hi-MO One Pro.
CEO Talk: Module technology is evolving rapidly, even amid intense price competition. All the while, customers demand more power from their systems. Back contact cells represent the current pinnacle of development, but there’s more to be achieved. Where is the industry headed? We take a closer look.
A 200-kilometre urban road test of the Innoptus Solar Team's Infinite Apollo served as final validation for Longi's high-efficiency technology before the American Solar Challenge in July.
One platform, two milestones: a 28.13 percent cell measured in Hamelin and a 26.4 percent module logged in Colorado extend the Chinese manufacturer's long-term back-contact technology route.
Longi presents a fire-resistant module for commercial rooftops, Tesvolt introduces a new C&I battery system, Fronius shows a high-voltage battery up to 32 kWh, and Gokin Solar unveils its 700 W modules.
The Ahlsell Norge AS warehouse is now powered by Longi modules with HPBC 2.0 back-contact technology, creating Norway’s largest rooftop PV installation to date.
Entry into BloombergNEF’s Tier 1 storage ranking signals growing C&I demand and stricter bankability criteria, including deployment in projects of at least 10 MW or 10 MWh over the past two years.
Longi is recruiting service partners and staff for its European storage division, while JA Solar is preparing to launch a large-scale battery storage system later this year.
Longi is entering the storage market with an all-in-one solution and a strategy to become an integrated provider of solar, storage and hydrogen. The company’s new priorities centre on technology leadership and sector integration.
Our recommendation for maximising performance: keep modules in their temperature sweet spot. Recent TÜV tests with TOPCon and advanced back contact technologies show just how much this matters.
China’s largest dual-propulsion car carrier has been equipped with over 500 solar modules, combining LNG and PV to advance clean maritime operations.
Despite intense price competition, module efficiency keeps advancing as customers demand higher power. Back contact cells mark the peak of this progress. Where is the industry headed? Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, offers his insights.
BC technology may represent the cutting edge of solar, but considerable potential remains to enhance performance even further, particularly as the race for higher efficiency continues.
Longi’s Hi-MO X10 drops busbars, Heckert goes white grid, IBC adapts for larger flat-roof modules, and K2 adds 15° and 20° tilts – these are pv Europe’s top product picks this week.
