As energy demand grows across North America, expanding power generation and storage capacity is becoming increasingly important. LONGi has once again been named a Tier 1 manufacturer in both the solar PV module and energy storage categories by BloombergNEF (BNEF) for Q3 2026. Its continued inclusion on both lists highlights the company’s established presence in solar and growing role in energy storage as it advances integrated solutions spanning solar, storage and hydrogen.
Continued Tier 1 Recognition Across Solar and Storage
BNEF’s Tier 1 classifications use project deployment and financing data to distinguish manufacturers across the solar and energy storage markets. The lists provide a reference for industry stakeholders evaluating manufacturers’ commercial track records.
LONGi’s continued inclusion on the PV module list underscores its established position in the global solar market. Its renewed recognition in energy storage reflects a growing deployment track record and continued adoption of its storage solutions.
BNEF also applies rigorous criteria to its Tier 1 energy storage list, evaluating manufacturers worldwide based on project deployment and financing data. The classification considers manufacturers’ track records in supplying batteries and energy storage systems to qualifying projects over the past two years, with additional requirements related to manufacturing capabilities, third-party customers and project financing.
Together, these designations mark another milestone as LONGi expands its energy portfolio to support evolving needs from customers.
