In March, 2019, LONGi Solar officially opened its latest 5GW high-efficiency monocrystalline module factory in Chuzhou, Anhui, China at a cost of US$328 million. As a result, the ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member would have a nameplate module capacity of 13GW in 2019.

LONGi Solar also announced at the beginning of June, 2019 that it was building a new 1.25GW mono-cell production plant in the Shama Jaya Free Industrial Park, Kuching City, Sarawak, Malaysia.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 8-9 October 2024 is our second PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The event in 2023 was a sell out success and 2024 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
