LONGi, a global leader in solar technology, was invited to attend the side event it hosted International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) titled “The positive nature of renewable energy as a driver for reform” And the side event I organized Tsinghua University in
LONGi has always regarded sustainable development as a core strategy and actively promotes the application of green energy and combating desertification. Zhang Haiming detailed Longyi's achievements in applying green technology and preventing desertification. He pointed out: “The impact of desertification is profound, with an estimated 45% of the global land area affected by desertification, affecting 3.2 billion people, or one-third of the world’s population. However, only 1% of the global desert area is used for photovoltaic energy (PV generation can To meet the electricity needs of all humanity If 70% of the desert areas on Earth were converted into oases, they could absorb all carbon emissions resulting from human activities.
As one of the effective means of combating desertification, combating desertification using photovoltaics stands out in environmental improvement, windbreaks, and sand stabilization. In the Kobuki Desert, LONGi has carried out the construction of two photovoltaic power plants with a capacity of 336 kW and 338 kW, and has actively explored green ecological development models such as “panel electricity generation, sub-panel farming, and inter-panel propagation”, and many local challenges of combating desertification have already been solved.
Zhang Haiming introduced: “In desert areas, PV modules absorb sunlight, provide shade, reduce water evaporation during the day, and promote condensation during the night. In addition, the water used to clean the solar panels can effectively promote the survival and growth of plants.” By combining photovoltaic systems with vegetation, not only has the stability of the solar power generation system been improved, but also the microclimate of the area has been greatly improved, effectively alleviating natural disasters such as hot winds, dry winds and sandstorms.
LONGi is always committed to improving the conversion efficiency of solar cells and reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV power generation through manufacturing advanced technologies. Zhang Haiming said, “The ‘Solar for All’ concept applies to many possible scenarios, making PV energy affordable and clean energy for everyone. From desert management to mine site restoration, from water supply in difficult areas to energy supply in future urban planning, the goal is It is to promote energy equality, green, and low-carbon transitions in various industries.
Zhang Haiming called on global partners, policy makers and the public to pay more attention to the importance of preventing and combating desertification, and draw experience from excellent environmental protection practices to accelerate the achievement of a greener Earth. “LONGi is ready to work hand in hand with all parties to further advance the global cause of combating desertification to new heights,” he stressed.
