LONGi assists in the green energy transformation across Central Asia
Central Asian countries not only have a superior geographical location, but they also have extremely rich solar resources and minerals. In order to better develop the local economy and the environment, Central Asian countries are accelerating the transformation to green energy. As one of the world's leading solar technology company, LONGi has achieved impressive results in countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
LONGi believes that solar power generation is one of the most effective solutions to solve power shortages and promote sustainable and green energy development. And the Balkhash Solar Power Plant Phase I capable of 50 megawatts is a successful example. The company provided around 91,000 Hi-MO 5 bifacial solar panels for this solar power plant. These solar panels have significant advantages operating in the local climate as they can capture sunlight reflected by snow and help reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The daily average temperature in Kazakhstan during the winter is — 20 C, which has a considerable impact on the performance of a solar stations. Due to the high conversion efficiency of the modules and constantly improving cell technology, LONGi's Hi-MO 5 modules have assured stable and efficient operation.
Along with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan is rising as a solar energy market. By participating in Uzbekistan's national strategy for energy transformation, the company has made efforts to immediately alleviate local power shortage problems.
Since its foray into the country in 2019, LONGi has supported the development of local energy-related companies and distributors. Up till now, the company carried out several government-led commercial and industrial projects in Uzbekistan and has provided multiple rooftop photovoltaic power generation systems. It has also helped the country in achieving its carbon neutrality goal.
In addition to assisting in the construction of solar power plants, LONGi takes a long-term perspective and helps develop local talents at different levels in the solar energy industry.
The company is cooperating with Uzbek universities in the field of green energy through a series of events such as the Green Uzbekistan Seminars and the PV general training courses. Through offline and online courses and cooperation with local training institutions, the company is introducing its technical talents into the market.
In March, LONGi organized the New Energy Innovation Competition for college students in Uzbekistan with the winners receiving scholarships.
LONGi has accumulated rich experience in overseas markets via long-term efforts, and has made practical contributions to the development of renewable energy in Central Asia. Since entering the market, LONGi has won broad recognition from customers with its reliable solar modules.
Founded in 2000, LONGi said it aspires to be a compelling solar technology company by leading the world's transition to green energy.
Being committed to the mission of making the best of solar energy to build a green world and the brand image of a trusted, reliable solar company that blazes the trail for green technology, LONGi focuses on technological innovation and endeavors to build its business in five sectors, covering mono silicon wafers, cells and modules, commercial and industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment.
It has grown into a green electricity plus green hydrogen product and solution provider that supports the global zero-carbon drive.
Its business has expanded to more than 150 countries and regions worldwide, with manufacturing bases in such countries as China, Vietnam, and Malaysia and branches in the United States, Japan, Germany, India, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
As an advocate of the RE100, EP 100, and EV100 initiatives, LONGi sets its own Science-Based Targets initiative targets, or SBTi, to advance its green, sustainable development efforts and global energy reform, therefore contributing to a zero-carbon planet and a green Earth.
