TECHNOLOGY
Chinese solar manufacturer Longi Solar is ranked as the leading global solar PV module manufacturer by analyst firm Wood Mackenzie, recognised for its technology maturity, supply chain resilience and capacity utilisation.
It has taken its experience in the solar sector and applied it into the next generation of technologies by also leading in the Building-Integrated Photovoltaic( BIPV) space.
Longi developed a BIPV project within the Boao Zero Carbon Demonstration Zone on Dongyu Island, southeast China. Created through a partnership between Hainan Province and the Ministry of
Housing and Urban-Rural Development, this site serves as a global benchmark for sustainable growth and represents the first zero-carbon international forum park. Recognised as a priority initiative for Hainan, the island now boasts a total BIPV capacity of 3.88MW. While maintaining the structures’ natural light, Longi developed a range of BIPV solutions – including solar roofs, curtain walls and power-generating glass and railings. These innovations seamlessly blend solar technology into the building’ s design while expanding the possibilities for PV applications – including tiles for domestic buildings.
