XI'AN, China, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi has once again retained its AAA ranking in PV-Tech's Q2 2024 PV ModuleTech bankability ratings, the 18^th consecutive quarter for the company to achieve this status.

The PV ModuleTech bankability ratings represent a comprehensive assessment that evaluates manufacturers based on key criteria such as value chain strength, production capacities, global shipment profiles, capex, R&D investment, cash-flow management, profitability and turnover. The longevity of LONGi's AAA ranking reflects its robust performance across these metrics, reinforcing its position as a trusted market leader.

The company's commitment to innovation remains constant, with ongoing investment in research and development aimed at advancing solar technology, its dedication to enhancing product efficiency and reliability underscoring its leadership in meeting the evolving needs of global energy markets.

The company made significant strides in various new technology fields, launching major products such as the TaiRay silicon wafer, HPBC 2.0, Hi-MO 9, and Hi-MO X6 Max. These launches demonstrated LONGi's profound expertise in silicon wafer and cell technology and its commitment to the BC technology path, quickly capturing widespread market attention. Leveraging the robust growth potential of BC platform technology, LONGi is poised to swiftly introduce new products tailored to meet market demands.

During the first half of 2024, LONGi has already established a number of new world records for solar cell efficiency.
