As night falls and Earth is viewed from space, the glow of human activity sketches a picture of prosperity, yet it also illuminates the uneven distribution of energy across the globe.
Vast stretches of the African continent remain immersed in darkness. While Africa is endowed with approximately 60% of the world’s best solar resources, it is also home to nearly 600 million people without access to electricity—accounting for about 85% of the global population living in energy poverty.
Confronting this structural energy challenge, LONGi is leveraging photovoltaic technology to transform Africa’s abundant sunlight into clean, green electricity. We believe every ray of sunlight should deliver tangible light, helping to advance energy equity and power sustainable development.
Bringing Clear Water, Welcoming New Life
In Linga Linga village, Mozambique, a lack of reliable water sources once severely hampered the operation of the local maternity hospital. Partnering with local organizations, LONGi donated BC modules and installed a rooftop PV system. This initiative not only provides the hospital with stable, clean power but also ensures a steady medical water supply through a solar-powered pumping system. Since its launch, the hospital has safely welcomed nearly 150 newborns into the world.
Illuminating Pages, Lighting Up Nights of Learning
Malawi has one of the lowest electrification rates in Africa, with rural access to electricity at just about 5%. Countless children were forced to end their studies at dusk. At Chamalire School in Malawi, LONGi helped build distributed PV stations on the rooftops of classrooms and dormitories. Now, electric lights extend study time after dark, offering students brighter futures and providing villagers with greater energy security.
Restoring Ecology, Reawakening the Land
Severe water scarcity and limited arable land pose major challenges to food security in Egypt. An off-grid solar water pumping system, powered by LONGi BC modules, helps tackle this by using solar energy to pump groundwater. This supports agricultural irrigation and daily water needs for local communities, while also nourishing vegetation, improving soil quality, and contributing to regional ecological restoration.
Lighting Villages, Safeguarding Communities
In Djibouti, where natural resources are scarce, LONGi collaborated with local partners to build the country’s first Hi-MO X10 off-grid power station in Adailou village, Tadjourah. The station now supplies stable electricity to 100 households, bringing light to once-dark nights and powering schools, health centers, and local businesses. It stands as a milestone in rural electrification for the region.
Powering Production, Driving Economic Vitality
As a leading electricity producer in Africa, South Africa possesses a strong energy industry base, yet it has long struggled with power shortages. In the Northern Cape province, LONGi’s high-efficiency PV modules provide stable, cost-effective clean electricity for farm irrigation systems. This not only reduces agricultural operating costs but also significantly improves irrigation reliability, helping farmers break free from energy price volatility and load-shedding constraints.
Once seen as an “impossible trilemma,” the balance between energy sustainability, affordability, and security is now being redefined by continuous breakthroughs in solar technology. Clean energy can now cross mountains and seas to reach remote villages, schools, hospitals, and factories.
As a global advocate, practitioner, and leader in sustainable clean energy, LONGi is committed to driving down the cost of solar electricity—making clean, reliable, and affordable energy accessible to all.
Because every ray of sunlight carries the mission to light up the world.
