LONGi, a global solar technology company based in China, partnered with Belgium’s Innoptus Solar Team in May 2025 to unveil the “Infinite Apollo” solar racing car. The car featured back-contact (BC) cell technology and flexible photovoltaic integration, developed to compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC) in Australia. LONGi supplied high-efficiency solar cells and flexible VIPV solutions, tested under conditions of extreme temperature, vibration, and aerodynamic constraints. Innoptus Solar Team, a consistent BWSC winner, contributed to its advanced vehicle design. The car used LONGi's zero-metal BC cells and TaiRay silicon wafers to improve reliability, low-light performance, and surface compatibility. The collaboration aimed to improve on-road energy output and efficiency during the 3,000 km BWSC event.Recently, EcoLife modules with HBC technology were launched by LONGi at Intersolar Europe 2025.
