In the first half of 2019, driven by the rapid growth of overseas market demand, the overall photovoltaic industry maintained a healthy development trend. By actively adapting to market changes and adjusting marketing strategies, LONGi Green Energy Technology realized significant growth in the sales volume of monocrystalline silicon wafers and modules compared with the same period last year. With the further improvement of LONGi’s overseas industrial deployment and sales network, the proportion of module products in LONGi’s overseas sales has increased rapidly, the sales area has been further expanded, and the overseas revenue has increased significantly. At present, LONGi has set up a whole industry chain production base in Malaysia and deployed sales networks in dozens of countries and regions throughout the world, and the globalization of LONGi Green Energy Technology is also accelerating.
In 2019, LONGi continues to attach great importance to technology research and development, and is committed to becoming the most valuable solar technology company in the world. At the beginning of 2019, LONGi Green Energy Technology once again broke the world record of photoelectric conversion efficiency of monocrystalline PERC cells with 24.06%, and the front-side power of LONGi’s 72-cell halfcut module also exceeded 450W. Seamless welding technology, M6-size silicon wafer, efficient Hi-MO4 monocrystalline module and other new technologies and products have been unveiled one after another. It is also benefiting from the further improvement of the technical and technological level of the company that the production costs of various business sectors of the company have been continuously reduced, and the gross profit margins of main products increased significantly compared with the same period last year.
