LONGi Enters the Energy Storage Sector with Groundbreaking Innovations to Ensure Safety

LONGi Energizes the Energy Storage Market

In a significant move, LONGi has officially announced its entry into the energy storage sector with the roll-out of the LONGi Energy Storage One-Stop Solution. This strategic transition aligns LONGi’s position as a leader in photovoltaic technology while evolving into a comprehensive provider of integrated "Solar-Storage-Hydrogen" solutions, setting new industry standards.

Expanding the Energy Framework

LONGi's Vice President, Dennis She, highlighted during the launch the concept of the "Stability Triangle" energy framework, which is anchored on three pivotal components—solar energy, energy storage, and hydrogen energy. "Solar acts as the source of clean energy, energy storage stabilizes the power supply, and hydrogen plays a crucial role in regulation," noted Mr. She. The integration of these three elements aims to forge a broad-reaching, resilient, and cost-effective zero-carbon energy ecosystem.

LONGi’s advances into energy storage represent a significant enhancement in its strategic approach, fortifying its integrated value chain across the full spectrum of energy solutions from solar to hydrogen.

Addressing Safety in Energy Storage

Elaborating on the competition within the energy storage industry, Mr. She compared the current landscape to the nascent stages of solar development—marked by rapid growth driven by confidence yet plagued by chaotic competition. He emphasized that as the market evolves, the criteria for competition have shifted from mere technology possession to ensuring value reliability.

"The future competition in energy storage will hinge on safety, reliability, and stability. These factors will determine the long-term trust we build with our customers and the market at large," Mr. She asserted. To support its commitment to "Ultimate Safety," LONGi partnered with PotisEdge, an authority in energy storage safety. Together, they focus on a robust technical framework based on intrinsic safety principles, active defensive measures, and intelligent early warning systems. Their collaboration is underpinned by a fully self-developed "5S" energy storage system, which boasts a unique Battery Management System (BMS) and Intelligent Condition Control System (iCCS). Noteworthy is PotisEdge's impeccable safety track record, maintaining zero thermal runaway incidents over 12 GWh of cumulative energy storage.

Establishing a Presence in Europe

In another important announcement, LONGi confirmed the establishment of its first Solar-Storage Technology Innovation Center (Center of Excellence) in Europe. This center will serve as a hub for project consulting, technical training, operational management support, and spare parts services. It is intended to equip European customers with rapid-response professional services across the entire lifecycle of energy storage solutions.

Mr. She remarked on Europe’s pressing need for energy transition, stating, "The mature market mechanisms in Europe create an ideal platform for implementing integrated 'Solar-Storage-Hydrogen' solutions."

Key markets including the UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain will be the initial focus for the deployment of LONGi's Energy Storage Solution, assisting utilities and energy companies in their quest to construct smarter, more efficient clean energy systems.

The Road Ahead

As LONGi steps into the energy storage domain, its commitment to safety and the establishment of a comprehensive service structure is poised to reshape the landscape of energy solutions. With a clear focus on creating a interconnected energy framework, LONGi is well on its way to becoming a consolidated leader in today's renewable energy narrative, driving towards a sustainable future that harmonizes clean energy generation with reliable storage and utilization strategies.
