Li Zhenguo, Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of LONGi (LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. / Headquarters: Xi'an, China), spoke at the "2026 China ESG Summit," an ESG-related event broadcast in China in April 2026. He discussed the value of "energy equity" brought by solar power generation and its contribution to a sustainable society through the widespread adoption of clean energy.
LONGi's Li Zhenguo Speaks on the Value of "Energy Equity" from Solar Power at ESG Event
Amid increasing global energy supply uncertainties, solar power generation is not merely a means of electricity generation. It is becoming increasingly important as a technology that is less dependent on large-scale fuel supply infrastructure compared to other generation methods, and expands access to clean energy regardless of region or income level. Li Zhenguo showcased LONGi's ESG initiatives around the world, demonstrating the company's commitment to contributing to a society where "everyone can enjoy affordable clean energy" through technological innovation.
At the same event, LONGi was recognized as a "China ESG Model Enterprise" and "Annual Breakthrough Enterprise." Holding a BC (Back Contact) technology product developed in-house by LONGi, Li Zhenguo articulated his vision for creating equitable development opportunities through green electricity and for the healthy and sustainable development of the solar power industry.
Making Clean Energy Accessible to Everyone
Li Zhenguo began by stating, "LONGi has consistently believed that technological innovation drives energy equity."
He then introduced LONGi's ESG initiatives deployed worldwide. In Brazil, LONGi's solar power technology is used to support the introduction of distributed solar power systems for residents in areas with insufficient infrastructure. This provides green electricity to indigenous communities displaced from their homes and also offers technical training, ensuring that the light of the sun not only illuminates their lives but also empowers people to acquire skills to change their own lives.
Furthermore, in Malawi, Africa, LONGi's green electricity delivers affordable and accessible power to children in rural areas, expanding opportunities for them to read books and learn under the light.
Li Zhenguo stated, "LONGi is working in every corner of the world to realize a society where 'everyone can enjoy affordable clean energy.'" He added, "What solar power companies like us bring is not just clean electricity, but also opportunities for equitable development. This is our sincere contribution to a sustainable global future."

The Value of Green Energy Created by LONGi's BC Technology
How can the inherent ESG value within the solar power industry be extracted, and how can a healthy and sustainable industrial ecosystem be rebuilt? One answer lies in LONGi's BC cell, which Li Zhenguo held during his speech.
This product has earned evaluation and trust from customers worldwide due to its features such as low carbon footprint, high conversion efficiency, excellent power generation profitability, aesthetic design, and safety.
Li Zhenguo explained the "green electricity balance" of this BC cell as follows:
"To manufacture this cell, approximately 2 kWh of electricity is consumed throughout the entire process, starting from ore (quartzite) to industrial metallic silicon, raw polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, and finally modules. On the other hand, this module generates 235 kWh of electricity over its 30-year lifecycle. This represents an energy amplification of over 100 times, and it is green electricity."
Furthermore, Li Zhenguo also spoke about the environmental value brought by BC technology:
"Since BC technology has a 5-6% higher conversion efficiency compared to general products, assuming 1 TW scale solar power generation, it could potentially save approximately 1,000 square kilometers of land overall. To support the energy transition, at least 10 TW scale solar power modules will be needed in the future, which would lead to a saving of approximately 10,000 square kilometers of land."
A small solar cell is not just a product; it symbolizes the environmental and social value of solar power generation.
LONGi will continue to contribute to the widespread adoption of clean energy and the realization of energy equity through innovation in solar power technology. Based on high-efficiency and high-reliability solar cell technology, we will advance initiatives toward realizing a sustainable society while responding to diverse needs around the world.
