In early 2016, LONGi signed a $1.84 billion solar panel sales agreement with SunEdison Products Singapore and agreed to purchase silicon manufactured in South Korea. LONGi also took over SunEdison's Malaysian silicon plant.^[1]^[2]

In early 2018, LONGi announced plans to build a new 5 GW module assembly plant in the Chuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone in China's Anhui province, pending an internal review process, then an investment of approximately RMB 1.95 billion (US$300 million) and approximately 28 months of construction and start-up for manufacturing operations to commence.^[3]^[4]

In 2024, LONGi announced plans to reduce workforce overcapacity by 30% staff reductions.^[5] In April 2024, the European Commission initiated an investigation into LONGi over anti-competitive subsidies.^[6]
