LONGi Green Energy Technology (LONGi)
Founded in 2000, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (LONGi) is a solar technology that develops solutions for large-scale power plants and for different industries and households with its innovation-focused development. Eventually, it also plans to supply "Green Power + Green Hydrogen" solutions for global zero-carbon development.
Since 2015, LONGi has located its operations in Yunnan, China, and Kuching, Malaysia, to utilize the abundant local hydropower resources to provide clean energy for its facilities. LONGi plans to integrate solar power plants with pumped storage in areas that feature significant elevation differences and abundant sunlight, creating an industrial model for using solar.
On its website, LONGi states that "the LONGi R&D team has achieved successive breakthroughs in key technologies. These include perovskite thin-film crystal growth on textured silicon substrates, high-efficiency bulk passivation and optical management, and these advancements have led to rapid improvements in the efficiency of silicon-based stacked cells".

Novel asymmetric self-assembly molecule enables efficient perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells
Researchers from LONGi Green Energy Technology, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Soochow University, Beijing University of Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Science and Technology of China have tackled the challenge of achieving ordered and uniformly covered self-assembly monolayers (SAMs) with optimal packing configuration on textured silicon substrates, for improving the efficiency of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.
The team designed an asymmetric SAM (named as HTL201), featuring anchoring group and spacer flanking a carbazole core, serving as hole selective layer (HSL) for perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. When compared to symmetric SAMs with nitrogen-bonded phosphonic acid group, the HTL201 molecule reportedly exhibited minimized steric hindrance and improved coverage on the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) recombination layer.
LONGi announces new solar cell efficiency record of 33% for large-area silicon-perovskite 2T tandem solar cell
LONGi has announced two technological milestones, as part of the recent SNEC 2025 event.
Certified by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), LONGi's large-area (260.9 cm²) crystalline silicon-perovskite two-terminal tandem solar cell achieved a conversion efficiency of 33%, setting a new global efficiency record for large-area tandem cells. Simultaneously, the efficiency of its back-contact (BC) module surpassed 26%, raising the efficiency ceiling for crystalline silicon modules. Both achievements were included in the 66th edition of the Solar Cell Efficiency Tables.
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with bilayer interface passivation achieve PCE of 33.89%
Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) recently announced a novel bilayer interface passivation strategy to develop tandem solar cells that achieved a record-high PCE of 33.89%.
Interfacial recombination at the perovskite/electron transport layer interface has long been considered a major obstacle to enhancing the efficiency of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. Prof. YIN Jun, Assistant Professor of the Department of Applied Physics at PolyU, and his research team recently made a breakthrough in interface engineering towards addressing this critical challenge. They integrated advanced material design and a device optimization strategy to develop high-efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem devices. This research was conducted in partnership with LONGI Green Energy Technology and Soochow University.
LONGi hits 34.85% efficiency in perovskite tandem PV technology
LONGi has once again announced a new efficiency record for its proprietary dual terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell - 34.85%, certified by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
LONGi’s research team is on a roll. In November 2023, they increased cell efficiency to 33.9%. Then, in June 2024, they pushed it up to 34.6%. And now, in less than a year, they’ve catapulted it to 34.85%.
LONGi and CTG to establish National Key Laboratory for Perovskite Technology
LONGi has reportedly signed a cooperation agreement with China Three Gorges Energy and the Three Gorges Research Institute, subsidiaries of the major Chinese energy developer China Three Gorges Corporation.
The collaboration will focus on new energy project cooperation, technological innovation, industrial resource coordination, technological upgrades, and diversified partnerships. Under the agreement, the 3 parties will jointly establish the National Key Laboratory for Perovskite Technology, which will conduct research and development on perovskite cell mass production processes, tandem cell efficiency improvements, and the integration of core equipment.
