About LONGi
| Origin | China |
|---|---|
| Headquarters | Xi'an, Shaanxi, China |
| Founded | 2000 |
LONGi's predecessor was created in Xi'an in February 2000. The company started in semiconductor materials and moved into monocrystalline silicon ingots and wafers before entering cells, modules and solar projects.
This integration explains the brand's association with the rise of monocrystalline silicon in photovoltaics. The company listed in Shanghai in 2012 and extended its industrial and commercial presence to many countries.
Focus and technology
LONGi focuses on high-efficiency monocrystalline technology for distributed generation and solar farms.
- Monocrystalline silicon: LONGi's historical specialisation, from ingots and wafers upwards
- HPBC / back contact: an architecture that moves the contacts to the rear in high-efficiency families
- Bifacial: lines for projects where reflected irradiance can be converted by the rear side
Strengths
- a strong research record in monocrystalline silicon
- families aimed at high efficiency per area
- technical documentation and global presence
What to check before buying
HPBC, TOPCon and PERC should not be compared by technology name alone. Use efficiency, temperature coefficient, degradation, warranty and total system cost.
