On October 22, LONGi and TÜV Rheinland Group jointly released the PV Fire Safety White Paper (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper") in Yancheng, Jiangsu. As PV accelerates its integration into various industries, fire safety is no longer merely a product technology issue, but also concerns human life, building assets, and public safety. Upholding its responsibility to clients, the industry, and society, LONGi partnered with TÜV Rheinland to conduct systematic research along four main lines: "cost of accidents, selection standards, product verification, and return on investment," providing new perspectives for PV fire safety evaluation and project decision-making. LONGi is expected to promote broader safety consensus across the industry through the open sharing of its research findings.

Recently, the Department of Economy and Information Technology of Zhejiang Province issued the "Notice on Publishing the List of 2026 Zhejiang Province Outstanding New Industrial Products and Zhejiang Province Advanced Technology Innovation Achievements."
