LONGi, the global leader in solar innovation, and Nofar Energy, Israel's premier renewable energy developer, announced a strategic partnership to develop one of Romania's largest solar installations – the 282MW Corbii Mari project in Dambovita County. This collaboration will deploy over 430,000 Hi-MO 9 BC modules, establishing back contact technology as Europe's definitive solution for utility-scale energy transformation while marking Nofar's most ambitious international venture to date.

Project Specifications and Timeline

The Corbii Mari project will go into production in 2026 and represents a dual milestone in Europe's renewable transition. As Nofar Energy's largest overseas IPP project, it anchors the Israeli leader's strategic expansion into European markets. The installation stands as Romania's largest BC deployment, leveraging Hi-MO 9's industry-leading 24.8% efficiency to overcome the region's climatic challenges.

The project harnesses Hi-MO 9's revolutionary back contact architecture to achieve exceptional performance in Romania's variable climate. The modules' temperature resilience and 30-year degradation guarantee ensure consistent energy generation, while the ultra-high-power output minimizes land use – preserving Dambovita County's agricultural ecosystems.

Environmental Impact and Energy Output

With an estimated annual output of 380 GWh, Corbii Mari will displace 220,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 48,000 combustion-engine vehicles from roads while powering over 50,000 Romanian households. The project's seamless execution demonstrates how BC technology delivers unparalleled bankability for developers navigating Europe's complex energy landscape.

Industry Leadership and Strategic Vision

Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, emphasized the project's transformative impact: “Corbii Mari transcends conventional solar deployments – it's a powerful validation that BC technology has matured into Europe's utility-scale foundation. By choosing Hi-MO 9 for their flagship European venture, Nofar Energy demonstrates how visionary partners are accelerating the energy transition through technological leadership.”

Mirel Jarnea, Strategic Accounts Manager SEE of LONGi Europe, added: “Nofar's selection of Hi-MO 9 is a testament to the global energy sector's recognition of BC technology as the ultimate frontier in solar innovation. This partnership reaffirms our commitment to delivering solutions that redefine efficiency, durability, and sustainability.” Favi Stelian, Managing Partner Romania of Nofar Energy, stated:

“The Corbii Mari project represents a defining moment for Nofar Energy's European vision. By partnering with LONGi and deploying Hi-MO 9 BC technology, we are not only delivering Romania's largest solar initiative but also setting a new benchmark for sustainable innovation across the continent.”

Regional Impact and Future Development

Positioned at the vanguard of Eastern Europe's energy transition, Corbii Mari establishes a replicable model for Nofar's expanding multi-GW European pipeline. The collaboration signals accelerating regional adoption of BC technology, with project insights informing solar development across emerging markets where efficiency and bankability are paramount.
