PVTIME – PV giant LONGi has released its operational results for the first half of 2026, showing a year-on-year drop in overall solar module shipments against a backdrop of weak global PV demand and widespread industry oversupply.
The bar chart shows the company’s shipment statistics from H1 2021 to H1 2026. It records silicon wafer shipments of 48.91GW in H1 2026, down from 52.08GW in H1 2025. Solar module shipments reached 29.93GW in the first half of 2026, compared to 39.57GW in the first half of 2025.
Official disclosures confirm that BC module sales reached 19.55GW in the first half of 2026, marking a 125% year-on-year increase. BC modules accounted for over 65% of the company’s total module shipments during this period. Overseas module shipments increased by over 26% year-on-year, with significant growth recorded in shipments to the Americas and Europe. The proportion of overseas revenue in LONGi’s module business rose above 65%.
However, the firm notes that the wider photovoltaic sector continues to grapple with soft market demand, oversupply and profit pressure. The company also reports that cumulative signed energy storage orders exceeded 3GWh by the end of the first half of 2026.
