Founded in 2009, to date Power Solution has brought solutions to 66 countries and helped more than 54 million individuals living in extreme poverty, including 7.8 million families.

Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi, said, “As a pioneer of solar innovation in renewable energy, LONGi has been committed to reducing the costs and improving the efficiency of solar power, which is not only beneficial for countries seeking the energy transition, but also important for the underdeveloped regions to have access to green power.”
Dr. Francois Bonnici, Director of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship and Head of Social Innovation at the WEF, said, “It's exciting to witness the partnership between LONGi and Power Solution, to be able to demonstrate what is possible when a company and a social enterprise come together, using the power and scale of a company and the grassroots ability of a company like Power Solution to bring electricity, energy and opportunity to the BOP population.”
