Dear colleagues,

Hello! I'm Li Zhenguo. After considering for a long time, I’ve written this sentiment down to talk with everyone.

Not long ago, LONGi Academia Research Institute was officially put into operation in Xi 'An Jinghe New City. This core organization, which gathers the best R&D forces of LONGi, is called "photovoltaic brain", and carries the realization of the company's vision, finally has a cohesive entity to meet everyone.

As the head of Academia Research Institute, I have mixed feelings, which also confirms the original aspiration of LONGi to innovate and promote the development of the industry.

In the past few years, we have made unremitting efforts in R&D investment to focus on the technology of future, continuously explore and study green energy technology, persistently improve product performance, and lead the practice of scientific and technological progress, so as to become the global leader in photovoltaic technology and energy transformation.

In other words, we really want to do something for the industry and society that we can do, which is extremely meaningful.

Someone once described LONGi as a "loner".

Of course, conformity is always the easiest option, but it's not always the best option. From our standpoint, we have simply chosen the path that we believe is more valuable to society, to the industry, to our customers and to our business.

Looking back over the years, the whole photovoltaic industry, including LONGi, has been on the journey of reducing the cost of kilowatt-hour electricity through technological innovation. With photovoltaic gradually becoming the most economical and greenest main power source, and the formation of the consensus on green development in the whole society, the photovoltaic industry has also entered a new stage of diversified development.

Now, entering a new journey of exploration, the application scenarios of photovoltaic products are more diverse, and our customers as well. Besides the inherent "green" and "economic" of PV products, what else do customers need? We need to have a deeper and more precise insight into the needs of end consumers and make the most in line with customer needs.

Therefore, we have been thinking: what is the most valuable product technology to the industry and customers? What is the competitiveness leading an era?

In recent years, the photovoltaic industry is very busy: the capital market is hot, photovoltaic installed capacity has repeatedly set new records, and distributed newly installed capacity has exceeded the centralized type for the first time in history... At the same time, technology and size disputes, patent and trade disputes, industrial chain fluctuations. By all accounts, the intensity of competition has reached new heights.

We see that this is also the best of era

The global double carbon target has made the industry's prospects more impressive, with various technologies in full bloom and various innovative achievements emerging one after another.

In China, the market size is the largest in the world, the industrialization cluster, the industrial chain is highly coordinated, we have a variety of equipment, talent, technical reserve support, letting us go free to study every possibility.

At LONGi, developers secretly "compete" to explore the extreme in every technological route area. Every bit of technological breakthrough, indicator improvement and efficiency improvement is just to make our industry develop faster and better, making our work bring changes to our lives, and letting everyone enjoy a greener and better world.

Of course, we are always paying attention to all kinds of cutting-edge technologies and reminding ourselves that we should have the courage to respect the objective facts and correct them in time, and we should constantly create long-term value.

On the first day of June 2021, we simultaneously released three world efficiency records: N-type TOPCon battery, P-type TOPCon battery, and HJT battery. Since 2021, we have broken the world battery efficiency record for 11 consecutive times, which is not only the result of the comprehensive layout of LONGi technology, but also the result of multiple technical routes within LONGi.

It can be said that the industry is concerned about, or even not concerned about the technology, LONGi is in deep research. But no matter what choice made, LONGi's original intention does not change.

I agree with Mr. Zhong's words, "The value of technology research is not proved when the research technology becomes the mainstream. There is value in working out the ceiling of all kinds of technologies, even if you are running with them."

Therefore, the essence of LONGi is that every innovation revolution deserves recognition; Every kind of technological exploration is worthy of respect.

And any technology and product launched, is based on our in-depth research, testing, industrialization exploration results, so as to make the most valuable choice for the industry and customers.

On LONGi's 22nd birthday, I used the words "solid," "built up," and "breakthrough" to summarize my expectations for 2022. As for the last word, LONGi has been insisting and emphasizing internally. Because we sincerely hope that after many years of technological silence, the industry can usher in a real technological breakthrough and industrial revolution.

We know all expectations, dare not live up to.

If one day, we let you feel that LONGi has once again become a "loner" in the eyes of people, it is only based on its own original aspiration, rational choice and judgment.

The past experience is enough to convince everyone of LONGi's strength and vision, and it is enough to prove our commitment to long-term value.

Science and technology create beautiful life, innovation is always worth further.

On November 2nd, we are with you, foreseeing the future and paying tribute to the age!

各位同仁、同事，大家好！

我是李振国。斟酌很久，写下这篇感悟，跟大家聊一聊。

前不久，隆基中央研究院在西安泾河新城正式投用，这个汇聚了隆基最顶尖研发力量、被称为“光伏大脑”、承载了公司愿景实现的核心组织，终于有了一个凝聚的实体，与所有人见面。

作为中央研究院的负责人，我百感交集，这也印证了隆基一直以来创变革新、推动行业发展的初心。

过去这些年，我们在研发投入上始终锲而不舍、毫不吝啬，为的就是聚焦未来科技，不断探索钻研绿能技术、持续提升产品性能、引领实践科技进步，从而成为全球光伏技术领跑者和能源转型推动者。

换句通俗的话，我们是真想为这个行业、为社会做一点力所能及，却又极具价值的事。

有人曾形容隆基像一位“离群索居者”。

当然，“从众”从来都是最容易的选择，但却不一定是最好的选择。从我们的立场来看，我们只是选择了一条自认为对社会、对行业、对客户、对企业更具价值的道路。

回首这么多年，整个光伏行业，包括隆基，一直走在通过技术创新不断降低度电成本的征途上，矢志不渝，无数企业前赴后继。而随着光伏逐渐成为最经济最绿色的主力电源，以及全社会绿色发展共识的形成，光伏行业也进入了多元化发展的新阶段。

如今，迈入新的探索征程，光伏产品应用场景更加多元、我们面向的客户也更加多元。除了光伏产品本来就自带的“绿色”和“经济”，客户还需要什么？我们需要更深刻、更精准地洞察终端消费者的需求，做出最符合客户需要的产品。

因此，我们也一直在思考：真正对产业、对客户最具价值的产品技术是什么？引领一个时代的竞争力是什么？

这几年，光伏行业热闹非凡：资本市场火热、光伏装机屡创新高、分布式新增装机史上首次超过集中式……与此同时，技术与尺寸争议、专利与贸易纷争、产业链波动不断。大家都在说，行业内卷已经达到了新高度。

我们却看到，这也是一个最好的时代

全球范围的双碳目标让行业前景变得更加可观，各种技术百花争艳，各种创新成果层出不穷。

在中国，市场规模傲视全球，产业化集群、产业链高度协同，我们有各种设备、人才、技术储备支持，让我们肆意去钻研每一种可能

在隆基，研发人员暗自“较劲”，在每一个技术路线领域探索极致。每一点点的技术突破、指标改进、效率提升，只是为了让我们的产业更快更好地发展，让我们的工作给我们的生活带来改变，让每一个人都能畅享更加绿色美好的世界。

当然，我们也在时刻关注各种前沿技术，也时刻警醒自己：要有尊重客观事实和及时纠正的勇气，也要不断地创造长期价值。

2021年6月的第一天，我们同时发布了N型TOPCon电池、P型TOPCon电池、HJT电池三项世界效率纪录。2021年以来，我们也已经连续11次打破电池效率世界纪录，这不仅是隆基技术全面布局的结果，也是隆基内部多条技术路线赛马的使然。

可以这样讲，业界关注的、甚至不关注的技术，隆基都在进行深入研究。但不管作何选择，隆基的初心没有改变。

我很认可钟总的一句话，“不是研究的技术成为主流，才能证明技术研发的价值；研究出各种技术的天花板，即便‘陪跑’也是有价值的”。

因此，在隆基的基因里，每一次创新革命，都值得被认可；每一种技术探索，都值得被尊敬。

而我们推出的任何一项技术、一款产品，都是基于我们深刻调研、研究、试验、产业化探索后的结果，从而做出对行业和客户最具价值的选择。

在隆基22岁生日那天，我曾用“稳固”“蓄势”和“突破”来概括自己对2022年的期待。对于最后一个字眼，也是隆基内部一直在坚持和强调的。因为我们由衷地期待，在行业技术沉寂多年后，能再迎来一次真正的技术突破和产业革命。

我们深知所有期待，不敢辜负。

如果某一天，我们让你感觉：隆基又一次成为人们眼中的“离群索居者”，那只是基于自己的初心，做出的理性选择和判断。

过去的经验，足以让大家相信隆基的实力和眼光，也足以证明我们对于长期价值的坚持。

科技致美生活，创新始终值得再进一步。

11月2日，我们和你一起，预见未来，致敬时代！
