On November 13, 2026, the final batch of photovoltaic modules was delivered on a 210 hectare piece of land in the Kles District of Turkestan Oblast, southern Kazakhstan. This is about 150 kilometers away from the historic city of Chimken, with frequent sandstorms and severe temperature differences between day and night. The owner Damona LLP has handed over the supply of components for a 100 MW centralized power station to LONGi. With all components in place, this first 100 megawatt BC technology ground power station in Central Asia is entering a construction sprint and is expected to be put into commercial operation in January 2027.

Delivery of 100MW modules

The Damona project is invested and developed by Damona LLP, a subsidiary of Sun System Group, and all components are Hi-MO 9 based on HPBC 2.0 technology from LONGi. This delivery is not a small-scale pilot, but a complete supply of 100MW centralized ground power stations. For LONGi, this means that its BC technology has made a leap from verification to large-scale implementation in the scenario of large-scale ground power stations in Central Asia, and has also established a new reference for efficient component applications in the local area.

Adaptation of anti wind and sand technology

Frequent strong winds and sandstorms in southern Kazakhstan, with large temperature differences between day and night, pose strict requirements for the power generation efficiency and structural robustness of components throughout their entire lifecycle. Hi-MO 9 has no grid line obstruction on the front, higher conversion efficiency, better performance in low light, lower attenuation, and better temperature coefficient. Pre project calculations show that this component has advantages in reducing system costs and increasing power plant revenue, and can help owners save BOS costs such as brackets and cables. The owner stated that choosing Longi not only values product parameters, but also values its long-term reliability in extreme environments.

From 20 to 100 megawatts

Kazakhstan is the first place to jointly build the the Belt and Road, and also an important market for Longji to deeply cultivate Central Asia. At the beginning of 2026, LONGi components have been applied to the 20 MW photovoltaic project of Jiete Suzhou; In less than a year, the 100 MW project in Turkestan state was delivered, and market coverage continued to advance from the 20 MW level to the 100 MW level. Huo Yan, President of the Central Asia and South Asia Regional Department of LONGi, stated that the Damona project is not only a breakthrough in the high-end market of Central Asia, but also lays a benchmark foundation for the large-scale replication of ultra large photovoltaic projects in the region in the future. From Jeet Suzhou to Turkestan, LONGi's component delivery in Central Asia is moving from single point applications to scale coverage.Editor/Gao Xue
