Commenting on the partnership, Pradeep Kumar, LONGi’s Managing Director for India and Sri Lanka, said “this partnership is in line with the vision to exchange each other’s expertise and jointly serve the Indian and Sri Lankan PV markets with world-class modules through the distribution channel. The partnership will support the presence of both parties in all areas of solar business and also help us further enhance our brand.”

“LONGi is the world’s largest solar company with a production capacity of over 50GW.
