On January 16, LONGi Green Energy released its 2024 annual performance forecast, which shows that due to the intensification of competition in the industry, the company's second-generation BC products are in the early stage of listing, the prices and gross profit margins of PERC and TOPCon products continue to decline, the utilization rate of production capacity is limited, the provision for asset impairment has increased due to technological iteration, and the investment income of polysilicon companies participating in polysilicon companies has incurred losses. The consolidation of complex industry situations has led to a loss in LONGi's performance last year compared with the same period last year.

LONGi Green Energy said that LONGi Green Energy is accelerating the pace of construction of BC production capacity through various models such as technology licensing and equity cooperation to meet the urgent market demand for BC series products. LONGi Green Energy's BC product production capacity will start to ramp up in 2025, and according to the plan, HPBC 2.0 will form a production capacity of about 50GW by the end of 2025.

Industry organizations pointed out that it is expected that the growth rate of new photovoltaic installed capacity will maintain a growth rate of about 10% to 15% in 2025, and the regional distribution of new photovoltaic installed capacity will continue to diversify. Among them, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, Latin America, Africa and other regions are expected to achieve rapid growth from a low base due to factors such as energy transition and sunshine resource advantages, thereby driving the continuous growth of photovoltaic installed demand.
