LONGi and Solar Invest Group formalise strategic partnership for Ukraine with 150 MW in PV and 150 MWh in energy storage

Ukraine's energy sector has shown remarkable resilience. Despite ongoing pressure on the national grid, demand for distributed solar and storage solutions has grown steadily, driven by businesses and communities determined to secure their own energy supply. For companies operating in this environment, the quality and reliability of every component in the system is not a preference but a necessity.

At Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, LONGi Solar and Solar Invest Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding formalising their strategic partnership for the Ukrainian market. The agreement covers a jointly identified pipeline of 150 MW in photovoltaic modules and 150 MWh in battery energy storage systems. The MoU was signed by Adrian Kocan, General Manager Eastern Europe at LONGi Solar (DG), and Alexander Luhovik, Commercial Director of Solar Invest Group.

"Ukraine is one of the most strategically important markets for LONGi in Eastern Europe. Demand for reliable, high-quality energy solutions continues to grow across the country. Together with Solar Invest Group, we can bring our photovoltaic and storage portfolio to more projects and support customers with integrated energy solutions built for long-term performance."

said Adrian Kocan, General Manager Eastern Europe at LONGi Solar (DG).

Solar Invest Group has built one of Ukraine's most established renewable energy distribution networks

Founded and headquartered in Kryvyi Rih, Solar Invest Group is one of Ukraine's leading distributors of solar energy equipment, serving more than 500 installers and dealer companies across the country. The company supplies, distributes, and provides ongoing technical support for solar and storage systems, with a reach that covers the full territory of Ukraine. Over the past decade, Solar Invest Group has built a nationwide distribution and technical support network. The company combines broad market coverage with technical expertise, making it a strong partner for bringing new technologies to Ukraine.

Solar Invest Group chose to formalise its partnership with LONGi because product quality, bankability and long-term reliability have become increasingly important in the Ukrainian market. Installers and project developers continue to make long-term investment decisions despite challenging conditions, making technology selection more important than ever.

"Solar Invest Group has earned its position in the Ukrainian market by selecting reliable technologies and long-term partners. Together, we can give installers across Ukraine access to both high-efficiency photovoltaic modules and integrated battery storage."

noted Gencay Sandalci, Sales Manager at LONGi Solar (DG).

LONGi ONE and the case for integrated solar and storage in Ukraine

The 150 MWh storage component of the MoU signals where the Ukrainian C&I market is heading. Distributed solar alone is no longer sufficient for businesses that need genuine energy independence. The combination of generation and storage, managed as a single integrated system, is becoming the standard expectation among sophisticated clients across the country.

LONGi's Hi-MO One Pro, the C&I tier of the LONGi ONE portfolio, is designed precisely for this use case. It combines storage hardware with a built-in energy management system, battery management system, and power conversion system in a single integrated unit, enabling peak shaving, self-consumption optimisation, and grid interaction from day one. For Solar Invest Group's network of installers, adding the LONGi ONE portfolio to their offer means being able to deliver a complete energy system from a manufacturer whose global track record and product quality are well established.

The 150 MW PV component of the agreement is anchored in LONGi's Hi-MO X10 modules, built on HPBC 2.0 (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact 2.0 technology) and designed for stable output under variable light conditions, low long-term degradation, and straightforward integration with storage systems.

"Formalising our partnership with LONGi is a decision rooted in what our clients need right now. They need products built to last twenty, twenty-five years, backed by technology that stays relevant and a manufacturer with the global standing to honour that commitment. LONGi meets that standard, and this agreement gives us the framework to build something significant together."

commented Alexander Luhovik, Commercial Director of Solar Invest Group.  

The MoU sets the commercial and technical framework for joint development, giving Solar Invest Group structured access to LONGi's full product range and the foundation for coordinated project pipeline management across Ukraine. The Ukrainian energy market is defined by resilience, and the companies shaping its future are those that bring both quality and commitment.
