They shared the latest developments and future trends of the solar energy industry with numerous political elites and business leaders. Vice President Eric Luo shared insights from the perspective of a leading solar photovoltaic PV enterprise, highlighting how exponential growth in the solar PV industry has injected new momentum into achieving global climate goals. Zhong Baoshen introduced that the photovoltaic industry has achieved remarkable development, not only experiencing exponential growth but also playing a significant role in the energy transition process.
This highlights the rapid development of the solar industry in recent years. However, I personally believe it will surpass 5, GW. These efforts have significantly bolstered the global push towards achieving net-zero emissions. Zhong Baoshen pointed out that the installed capacity of solar PV will see a several-fold increase in just a few years, with its development speed far surpassing previous expectations.
Solar PV is now an unstoppable force, becoming the core driving element of the global energy transition and profoundly reshaping the global energy landscape. While achieving technological innovation, LONGi has also actively promoted innovation in intelligent manufacturing. Eric Luo introduced that LONGi has extensively adopted new technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things IIoT , big data, artificial intelligence, and digital twins in the Lighthouse Factory, successfully implementing over 30 digital use cases.
However, rapid technological advancements, especially significant breakthroughs in the solar photovoltaic PV field, have completely transformed this situation. Today, solar PV has become one of the most reliable, affordable, and sustainable base energies in the global energy system.
The extensive application of solar energy has further propelled the global deep decarbonization process, making significant contributions to combating climate change and achieving global sustainable development goals. This has elevated the development of the energy sector to a new level for humanity. Eric Luo , drawing on the current innovation trends in solar photovoltaics, believes that solar energy will become increasingly intertwined with technologies such as energy storage, transportation, architecture, and smart grids in the future.
