LONGi is named to the S&P Global Energy Tier 1 Cleantech Companies list for a second consecutive year

LONGi has been named to the second annual S&P Global Energy Tier 1 Cleantech Companies list, recognised in the Solar PV Modules category and one of 15 companies worldwide named in that category. The listing follows the company's inclusion in the inaugural 2025 edition, which makes 2026 its second consecutive year on the list.

S&P Global Energy builds the list on a six-point methodology

S&P Global Energy compiles the list using its cross-divisional data and a defined six-point methodology. The assessment covers market presence and cumulative equipment shipments, annual market share, scale, global manufacturing diversification, financial performance measured through key financial indicators, and sustainability factors. The outcome is a roster of qualified companies, not a placement ranking, with entries listed alphabetically by category. Companies are drawn from the top 30 in each of five technology categories, Solar PV Modules, Solar PV Inverters, Energy Storage Systems, Energy Storage Battery Cells and Wind Turbines, judged on the largest shipments or installations worldwide in the previous year.

The assessment looks beyond market share to financial and sustainability data

Edurne Zoco, Ph.D., Head of Clean Technologies and Supply Chains at S&P Global Energy, tied the distinction to the data behind it. "What makes S&P Global Energy Tier 1 different is the breadth and depth of the data behind it. We look beyond market share, drawing on S&P Global's proprietary data on market leadership, financial performance and sustainability to provide a more complete picture of supplier strength," she said.

She linked the recognition to how buyers choose between suppliers. "Our Tier 1 recognition is designed to help cleantech suppliers stand out in a crowded market while giving developers and investors a clearer way to identify companies with a proven track record and stronger foundations for long-term success," Zoco said.

A second consecutive listing gives partners an independent reference point

For LONGi, a second consecutive listing provides an independent, third-party assessment that partners can reference when they weigh one supplier against another. Clean energy project financing and large-scale power station tenders are two settings where that assessment is used, and it also informs supply chain due diligence.
