LONGi and Pagra formalise strategic partnership for Poland with 50 MW in PV and 50 MWh in storage

As the Polish commercial energy market shifts from standalone solar to integrated PV and battery storage systems, the conversation has moved beyond whether PV investment makes sense. The debate over payback periods, grid tariffs, and available incentives is settled. What businesses are asking now is more demanding: who builds the system, and will it still perform as needed in twenty years? The answer is as much an execution question as a technology one, determined by EPC companies that take full ownership of what they build, integrators who treat energy management as a system design problem, and manufacturers whose products hold up where promises get tested.

It is in this context that LONGi Solar and Pagra signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, Germany. The agreement formalises a strategic partnership for the Polish market. It comprises a jointly identified pipeline of 50 MW in photovoltaic modules and 50 MWh in battery energy storage systems and reflects the market’s shift toward integrated energy solutions.

Pagra's integrated approach to long-term energy performance

Pagra is an energy systems integrator serving companies across the industrial, commercial, agricultural, and real estate sectors. Its model covers the full project lifecycle, from energy audit and system design through to a 25-year operational support framework, on the premise that the economics of PV and storage only hold if the system performs as modelled across the entire investment horizon. Pagra calls this its OneEkosystem approach, combining generation, battery storage, and real-time energy management in a single integrated offer.

The company operates in partnership with Galileo Green Energy, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy platforms in Europe, active in more than 20 countries with over 500 million euros of assets under management. For clients committing significant capital to long-horizon infrastructure, that financial depth and technical scale matters as much as the EPC partner's own capability.

Storage is no longer an add-on in Polish C&I projects, and LONGi's product architecture reflects that

The 50 MWh energy storage component of the pipeline reflects something important about where the Polish C&I market is heading. Energy storage is no longer an add-on consideration for sophisticated clients. It is increasingly the difference between a solar system that delivers cost savings and one that delivers genuine energy independence.

LONGi's Hi-MO One Pro, introduced to the Central and Eastern European market ahead of Intersolar, is a C&I hybrid BESS platform designed specifically for this integrated use case. It combines storage hardware with a built-in energy management system, battery management system, and power conversion system, enabling peak shaving, self-consumption optimisation, and grid interaction from a single integrated unit. For an EPC partner like Pagra, whose clients are asking to manage their energy rather than simply generate it, this kind of system architecture significantly changes what is possible at the project design stage.

The Hi-MO X10 modules specified for the PV component of the pipeline bring a complementary logic. Built on LONGi's HPBC 2.0 back contact technology, they are designed for the performance variables that matter most in the Central European climate: stable output under partial shading and diffuse light conditions, low long-term degradation, and straightforward integration with storage systems. When a client is committing to a 25-year energy infrastructure plan, the module at the centre of it needs to perform predictably under conditions that are rarely ideal.

LONGi and Pagra's pipeline is a commercial framework built around real market demand

The MoU signed at Intersolar sets out the commercial and technical framework for joint development, including coordinated project pipeline management and access to LONGi's full C&I product range.

"For our clients, making a long-term energy decision means choosing every element of the system with a 25-year horizon in mind," said Paweł Smaś, CEO of Pagra. "Choosing LONGi is precisely that kind of decision. The technology, the global track record, and the product development direction all point in the same direction. This partnership gives us the certainty to recommend that choice confidently."

"Pagra approaches energy integration the way we believe it should be approached, with full lifecycle ownership and a clear focus on what the system needs to deliver for the client over decades" said Adrian Kocan, General Manager Eastern Europe at LONGi Solar (DG). "That is exactly the kind of partner we look for in markets where the quality of execution defines the outcome."

"The pipeline we have identified together is substantial and grounded in real project demand in Poland," said Daniel Moczulski, Sales Director CEE at LONGi Solar (DG). "Polish C&I clients are moving fast, and having a partner with Pagra's execution depth and lifecycle commitment means we can meet that demand with the confidence that every project will perform the way it was promised."

As Poland's C&I energy market continues to mature, the partnerships that shape its trajectory will be those built around shared accountability for outcomes rather than transactional product supply. The agreement between LONGi and Pagra is a step in that direction.
