LONGi Solar joins Renewable energy association "Qazaq Green"

Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world’s leading solar technology company, focusing on customer-driven value creation for full scenario energy transformation.

This Chinese giant solar company has dedicated itself to technology innovation and established five business sectors, covering mono silicon wafers, cells and modules, commercial & industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment. The company has honed its capabilities to provide green energy and has, more recently, also embraced green hydrogen products and solutions to support global zero carbon development.

In 2021, LONGi achieved wafer shipments of 70.01GW, and shipped 38.52GW of mono-crystalline modules. And the company's global sales performance, market share and brand influence ranked it first in the world, with its total shipment volume of domestic and exported modules exceeding the second place by more than 10GW.

In 2022, LONGi plans to increase the shipment for wafers and modules to 90-100GW (including for internal use) and 50-60GW (including for internal use), which will inject strong impetus into the development of renewable energy around the world. In order to better promote the energy transition in the world, especially in Central Asia, LONGi applied to join the “Qazaq Green" RES Association.

“We are very much interested in Kazakhstan market. The great target for renewable energy has been set up and the programme for the same has been launched. We, LONGi Solar, are ready to support on the same with our best technology & products. We hope that our participation in the Qazaq Green RES Association will enable us to better understand the market and will guide us to the right direction to success!” said Alex Lee, general sales manager of LONGi Solar.

“Kazakhstan is one of the leaders in the development of renewable energy sources in the region. Currently, there are 139 renewable energy facilities operating in the country with a total installed capacity of 2180 MW. Of these, 53 facilities are solar power plants with a capacity of 1148 MW. Forecast balance up to 2035. more than 6 GW of RES capacities are planned to be commissioned. This year alone, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan plans to hold auctions with a total capacity of 690 MW, of which 60 MW for solar power plants. Therefore, the interest in our country and the Association of RES "Qazaq Green" from the world's giants for the production of generating equipment for solar power plants, such as LONGi Solar, is natural. We will be happy to work with LONGi Solar in this direction,” said Nurlan Kapenov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Qazaq Green.

Headquartered in Xi'an, China, the company has its Marketing & Sales Center located in Shanghai and has also sales offices in Japan, India, Australia, Europe, the U.S., Brazil, and Middle East. Focusing on the research and development, production, sales and marketing of monocrystalline silicon products, LONGi Solar is committed to providing the best LCOE solutions, as well as promoting the worldwide adoption of monocrystalline technology.

The RES Association "Qazaq Green" was founded in 2018. in order to support the development of the renewable energy sector in Kazakhstan and brings together investors, developers and equipment manufacturers, as well as international financial institutions, research and design institutions. The association is accredited by the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Atameken" and is currently one of the key expert centers for the development of renewable energy in Kazakhstan for both government agencies and business communities.
