The company noted that the global PV industry had continued to develop steadily, with significant growth in overseas markets in 2019 with grid parity rapidly advancing in multiple countries.
 
Major manufacturing expansions of mono ingot/wafer capacity as well as solar cells and modules enabled a higher price-performance ratio in terms of power cost that had driven mono products market share to increase rapidly during the reporting period, according to the company.

LONGi had previously reported third quarter and first nine months 2019 net profit of approximately RMB 1.47 billion (US$214 million) and approximately RMB 3.48 billion (US$506.7 million), respectively.
