XI'AN,
China, May 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On
May 23, the 16th (2023) International
Solar Photovoltaics and Smart Energy (Shanghai) Conference and Exhibition (SNEC)
kicked off at Kerry Center in Pudong, Shanghai. Li Zhenguo, Founder and President of
LONGi, who was invited to attend the opening ceremony, delivered a
keynote speech titled "Building collaborative innovation ecosystem
to create a zero-carbon world".
Speaking at the ceremony, Li said it is the mission and
responsibility of the entire industry to make photovoltaic cheaper
to use. The continuous advancement of technology is the biggest
driving force for cost reduction of photovoltaic power generation.
At present, LONGi is actively developing an open innovation system,
aiming to establish strong collaborations with educational
institutions, industry peers and partners across the supply chain.
The company is dedicated to advancing photovoltaic conversion
efficiency in the near future while simultaneously driving down
electricity costs.
Four methodologies to explain LONGi's innovation
history
Innovation is the soul of LONGi and the endogenous driving force
for the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry. Li
Zhenguo has conducted a comprehensive review of LONGi's
technological innovation process since its inception and has
distilled it into what he refers to as "LONGi's four innovation
methodologies."
1. Technological innovation adheres to "First principle" and
consistently strives to enhance efficiency, placing it at the
forefront of progress;
2. Prioritizing customers, creating value for customers, and
always providing customers with a product reliability guarantee
with leading standards, reliable quality and excellent user
experience;
3. Stable and reliable corporate values, with a strong emphasis
on product reliability and cost-effectiveness, and customer value
improvement serving as the driving force to provide long-term value
for photovoltaic power plants;
4. Adherence to an open mindset and commitment to investing in
scientific and technological research and development to cultivate
an open cooperation ecosystem that not only empowers ourselves but
also our partners and the industry as a whole. By leading the way
in innovation and industry transformation, we strive to achieve
success for all stakeholders involved.
LONGi has a long history of innovation. Since 2014, LONGi has
been at the forefront of overcoming key challenges in the solar
industry. They pioneered the industrialization of RCz single
crystal growth technology and successfully addressed the initial
light attenuation issue of monocrystalline PERC in 2015. In 2017,
LONGi introduced diamond wire-cutting technology for the slicing
process and incorporated double-sided power generation technology
into both cell and module production.
Through these remarkable advancements and ongoing technological
innovation, LONGi has maintained its leadership position in driving
continuous cost reductions within the industry.
"Thanks to technological innovation, the cost of photovoltaic
electricity has dropped from 4 yuan
to less than 0.5 yuan, which not only
supports future development but also makes photovoltaics a
supporting force for 'carbon neutrality'," Li Zhenguo said.
Building an open innovation ecosystem to create a zero-carbon
world
With the world reaching a consensus on "carbon neutrality", the
global energy transition to renewable energy has become the general
trend.
During his keynote speech, Li Zhenguo expressed LONGi's
commitment to maintaining an open mindset, fostering a
collaborative innovation ecosystem, and jointly building a
zero-carbon world. In addition to continuously increasing
investment in R&D, LONGi will spare no effort in seeking wider
and deeper exchanges and cooperation around the world.
Just as a single tree cannot form a forest, it is the
convergence of hundreds of rivers that create vast seas. LONGi,
with its unwavering commitment to open innovation, has successfully
harnessed the power of the entire industry chain through numerous
instances of technological innovation leadership.
Speaking with the media, Li Zhenguo said the technology that
will change or even subvert the photovoltaic industry in the future
may not be in the photovoltaic industry itself, but in a certain
field that seems to be "out of reach".
To this end, LONGi specially held a launch conference for its
"STAR Innovative Ecological Cooperation Platform" during this
year's SNEC. According to the company, the platform will build a
global leading green energy ecosystem with the mission of
transmitting innovation trends, collecting global ideas,
integrating solutions, docking high-quality resources and promoting
technological innovation in the global photovoltaic industry.
