Among other well-known solar manufacturers to use Daqo polysilicon is JinkoSolar.<\/p>\n<p>Daqo says it is boosting its capacity to an expected 70,000 tonnes in the first quarter of next year. Last year Daqo produced 23,351 tonnes of polysilicon, compared to 20,200 tonnes in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Daqo once produced wafers as well, but quit wafer manufacturing last year due to increasingly challenging market conditions. I&#8217;m not clear on whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/daqo-review.html\">Daqo solar panels<\/a>, which were quite popular here in Australia for a while, are still being produced. The company&#8217;s web site still mentions modules &#8211; but it also continues to note wafers in its product lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Longi Revving Up Production<\/h2>\n<p>In April this year, Longi Green Energy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/longi-jinko-solar-manufacturing-mb1038\/\">announced<\/a> it was aiming for monosilicon ingot\/wafer production capacity of 36GW by the end of this year, 50GW by the end of next year and 65GW by the end of 2021. By the end of last year, its production capacity had reached 28GW and the company said it shipped 3.483 billion wafer pieces in 2018, a jump of 59% over the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>As well as wafers, Longi is also a major solar cell and panel manufacturer &#8211; and getting bigger. By the end of this year it is expecting cell production capacity of 10GW and module capacity of 16GW; building up to 15GW cell and 25GW module capacity next year, then 20GW cell and 30GW panel capacity in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s panels have been available in Australia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/longi-solar-panels\/\">since 2017<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/longi-solar-review.html\">Longi solar panel reviews<\/a> to date from Australian customers have generally been favourable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polysilicon producer Daqo announced last week it had signed a new major polysilicon supply agreement with Longi Green Energy Technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":32670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Daqo Inks Another Huge Polysilicon Deal with Longi - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Polysilicon producer Daqo announced last week it had signed a new major polysilicon supply agreement with Longi Green Energy Technology.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/daqo-longi-polysilicon-mb1168\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Daqo Inks Another Huge Polysilicon Deal with Longi\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Polysilicon producer Daqo announced last week it had signed a new major polysilicon supply agreement with Longi Green Energy Technology.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/daqo-longi-polysilicon-mb1168\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-08-11T19:52:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-08-14T20:39:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/daqo-longi-polysilicon.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/daqo-longi-polysilicon-mb1168\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/daqo-longi-polysilicon-mb1168\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Daqo Inks Another Huge Polysilicon Deal with Longi\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-08-11T19:52:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-08-14T20:39:08+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/daqo-longi-polysilicon-mb1168\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":399,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/daqo-longi-polysilicon-mb1168\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/08\\\/daqo-longi-polysilicon.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
