LONGi, a global technology enterprise specializing in solar products, has entered into a long-term silicon supply agreement with Ferroglobe PLC, a leading producer of Silicon Metal and Ferroalloys. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen collaboration in the solar industry and enhance the supply chain traceability from quartzite to solar panels.
Under the agreement, Ferroglobe will supply high-quality quartzite and metallurgical grade silicon to LONGi, supporting the company’s strategy to increase purchases from Western silicon material suppliers. This move is significant in light of the increasing scrutiny on solar module components’ supply chain and country of origin in the United States.
Tian Ye, Vice President of LONGi, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing LONGi’s commitment to providing dependable, high-efficiency, and eco-friendly solar products worldwide. With manufacturing facilities and sales offices in over 150 countries, LONGi aims to establish long-term cooperative relationships with more overseas enterprises in the future.
In addition to the silicon supply agreement, LONGi showcased its latest innovations in solar modules at the 19th China International Solar Energy Utilization Conference. The Hi-MO X6 Bifacial Dual-Glass modules cater to various PV application scenarios, including distributed roofs, PV carports, and winter gardens. The company also introduced the Hi-MO 5 Anti-Dust solar panels, designed to optimize performance in high temperature and high humidity environments.
As LONGi continues to drive innovation in the solar industry, the collaboration with Ferroglobe marks a significant milestone in advancing sustainable and efficient solar solutions for a global market.
