LONGi and Innoptus Solar Team Unite to Revolutionize Solar Car Racing with Breakthrough BC Technology
May 5, Belgium — LONGi, a global leader in solar innovation, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with the Innoptus Solar Team, world champions in solar car racing. The collaboration was unveiled alongside the new-generation solar car “Infinite Apollo”, powered by LONGi’s advanced back-contact (BC) cell technology and flexible vehicle-integrated PV (VIPV) solutions.
This high-performance solar car will compete in the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC), showcasing what’s possible when solar meets speed.
A Cross-Sector Alliance Built for Innovation
The Innoptus Solar Team, famous for its efficiency-driven designs, has consistently won top honors, including the BWSC World Championship. With solar vehicles that cover over 780 km in a day, the team represents the cutting edge of solar-powered mobility.
LONGi, known for world record-breaking solar efficiency, brings its proven track record to the table. As the “dual-champion” in both mono-crystalline silicon and perovskite tandem cell technology, LONGi leads the evolution of BC solar innovation.
Why the Partnership Matters
Together, LONGi and Innoptus aim to:
✅ Maximize power generation under extreme racing conditions
✅ Improve efficiency and system reliability
✅ Test solar in real-world mobility applications
LONGi’s BC technology is central to this. With zero front-side metal, superior low-light performance, and flexible packaging, it integrates perfectly with curved car surfaces, enhancing both aerodynamics and energy yield.
Built for the World’s Toughest Solar Race
The BWSC, held every two years in Australia, covers over 3,000 km of harsh terrain and extreme weather. Solar vehicles must perform flawlessly across deserts, heatwaves, and unpredictable conditions.
LONGi’s BC solar cells provide:
🔋 High peak efficiency under intense sunlight
🌥️ Strong low-light response
🌡️ Stability in extreme temperature shifts
🚗 Seamless design compatibility with solar car bodywork
This makes them ideal for elite solar racing teams like Innoptus.
Voices from the Leaders
“Solar racing cars demand power, efficiency, and flexibility under the harshest conditions. LONGi delivers all three,” said Wout Rubbrecht, Team Leader at Innoptus.
“Our BC cells are built to break boundaries. With Innoptus, we bring solar power to new horizons,” added Zhang Haimeng, Vice President of LONGi.
Innovation Beyond the Track
LONGi’s vision extends far beyond solar racing. As stated by Li Zhenguo, Founder of LONGi:
“We believe in bringing solar to everyone—not just in panels, but in mobility, lifestyle, and everyday innovation.”
With this mindset, the partnership marks a new era of “PV + mobility”, combining green energy and competitive performance.
Power the Journey Ahead with LONGi
From solar modules to advanced inverters and flexible energy systems, LONGi continues to lead. Now, with real-world solar mobility solutions, the brand proves once again that technology and sustainability go hand in hand.
