LONGI offers green solutions for Kazakhstan's growing industry

LONGi is anticipating significant growth in Kazakhstan's large industrial and commercial sectors thanks to its multi-pronged foreign policy and the favourable investment climate in the country.

With active development, oil refining, mining, metallurgy, cement production, and other industries will need to increase their energy supply, and solar power plants are the most obvious and quickest solution to future power shortages in Kazakhstan's fast-growing economy. To bridge the gap as quickly as possible and help the Kazakh government achieve its carbon neutrality goals, LONGi Company is prepared to offer its most advanced photovoltaic technology for projects in Kazakhstan.

Since entering the Kazakhstan market in 2019, LONGi has earned widespread recognition from customers for its efficient and reliable solar modules.

In collaboration with its partners in Kazakhstan, LONGi has made significant contributions to the country's efforts to promote clean energy through its latest advancements in solar technology.

50 MW Balkhash Power Plant

One of the largest projects supported by LONGi in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the first phase of the 50 MW Balkhash power plant built in cooperation with Technogroupservice.

Technogroupservice completed the first phase of the Balkhash SPP with a capacity of 50 MW using LONGi's Class A solar panels by mid-summer. The LONGi Hi-MO 5 modules are the preferred model, given the harsh weather conditions in the area. The two-sided version of the panel captures sunlight reflected from the snow, providing additional performance improvements. Therefore, the two-side panel from LONGi helps compensate for more carbon dioxide emissions. The average daytime temperature in Kazakhstan in winter is as low as -20°C, which significantly impacts the power generation performance of the power station. In this regard, LONGi's Hi-MO 5 modules ensure the stable and efficient operation of the power station through leading module conversion efficiency and continuously optimized cell technology (high-resistance dense grid, laser SE, etc.).

In the construction of the power plant, load-bearing steel structures made in Kazakhstan were used. Design engineers at Technogroupservice performed engineering calculations, and the company adheres to the principle of maximizing domestic content. During the six-month maintenance period of the station by the Technogroupservice team, the power generation of the Balkhash station exceeded the planned target by 5.2%, saving about 35,000 tons of air pollutants in the form of CO2.

Last year, LONGi launched the brand new Hi-MO 6 Mono modules, which include four series: Explorer, Scientist, Guardian, and Artist. All of them are in the standard M10 size (182mm) and are available in 72C, 66C, 60C, and 54C types. The module complements a wide variety of application scenarios, with upgraded comprehensive power generation performance, stability, safety, reliability, and high-quality assurance.

LONGi, founded in 2000, is committed to being the world's leading solar technology company, with a focus on customer-driven value creation for full-scenario energy transformation. Its mission of "making the best of solar energy to build a green world" and brand positioning as "the most trusted and reliable solar company that blazes the trail for green technology" have led the company to dedicate itself to technological innovation and establish five business sectors covering mono-silicon wafers, cells, and modules, commercial and industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions, and hydrogen equipment. The company has honed its capabilities to provide green energy and has recently embraced green hydrogen products and solutions to support global zero-carbon development.

LONGi also became the first Chinese enterprise to join the RE100, EP100, and EV100 global initiatives and carbon targets (SBTI), contributing directly to the global energy revolution. The LONGi team in Central Asia is actively working together to use the most advanced technologies and products to provide maximum support for projects in the region.
