  • LONGi, a global leader in solar technology, today signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with United Energy Egypt (UEE) Limited to deploy a 20 MWp hybrid solar power system.

LONGi will support the project with its Hi-MO 9 modules featuring HPBC 2.0 technology. The module delivers a power output of up to 670W with a conversion efficiency of up to 24.8%, demonstrating exceptionally low degradation even under high-temperature, high-humidity, and other challenging conditions.

 

This initiative supports Egypt’s national goal of 42% renewable energy by 2030 and showcases solar’s role in decarbonizing industrial operations while enhancing energy security.

“This project will exemplifies how solar innovation can transform even the most energy-intensive industries,” said Mr. Felix Wu, Sales Director, LONGi MEA&CA, Africa. “By combining our BC technology with hybrid systems, we’re helping UEE achieve ESG goals while bolstering Egypt’s renewable leadership.”

“Partnering with LONGi accelerates our transition to sustainable operations,” added Mr Kamel Elsawi, President of United Energy Egypt. “This model sets a precedent for oilfield decarbonization across MENA.”

Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
