XI’AN, China, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LONGi has announced the retention of its AAA rating in PV-Tech’s Q1 2025 PV ModuleTech bankability ratings, marking the company’s 21st consecutive quarter at this top tier and underscoring its long-term commitment to quality, innovation, financial stability and leadership in the photovoltaic industry.
LONGi maintains AAA ranking
The PV ModuleTech bankability ratings are derived from a thorough evaluation process that examines manufacturers across several critical dimensions, including value chain strength, production capacity, global shipment profiles, capital expenditure (capex), R&D investment and cash-flow management. LONGi’s consistent AAA status reflects not only its robust operational metrics but also its dedication to advancing solar technology.
Relying on its profound technology accumulation and advanced intelligent manufacturing advantages, LONGi has made continuous breakthroughs in HPBC technology and forward-looking R&D, and its products for utility and distributed scenarios have been implemented successively.
Since the launch of the new-generation BC products based on HPBC 2.0 in May 2024, LONGi has been winning large orders globally.
At the beginning of April, LONGi signed a 226MW Hi-MO 9 module supply agreement in Greece, which marks the largest BC utility project in Europe.
At the end of March, LONGi signed a Hi-MO X10 module supply framework agreement with a total capacity of 555MW with multiple EPC companies at the South Africa International Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Exhibition. The high-power generation per unit area and anti-shading features of the products have been highly recognized by African customers.
By the end of the first quarter of 2025, the global shipments of BC modules had exceeded 30GW, and the scale of reserved orders had exceeded 40GW.
With technological innovation as its mission, LONGi has been constantly improving the R&D of conversion efficiency in the crystalline silicon and crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem tracks. Up to now, it still holds the world records in these two major tracks.
On April 11th, LONGi announced at its Wuhu base in Anhui Province, China: Through the authoritative certification of the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) in Germany, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of its independently developed Hybrid Interdigitated-Back-Contact (HIBC) crystalline silicon solar cell has reached 27.81%, pushing the exploration of the limits of monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells to a new height.
At the same time, LONGi independently developed a two-terminal crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell that has achieved a conversion efficiency of 34.85%, certified by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), once again breaking the world record for crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cell efficiency.
The 21 consecutive AAA ratings are not only a strong testament to LONGi’s reliability but also a footnote to LONGi’s consistent commitment to product quality, stable operation, and long-termism. In the future, LONGi will continue to enhance its technological strength and risk-resistance capabilities, and work hand in hand with global partners to create a better future.

Clarity has signed a commercial-scale agreement with Nusano, Inc. (“Nusano”) for supply of copper-64 (Cu-64 or 64Cu) isotope.
The 190,000 square foot Nusano facility in West Valley City, Utah is capable of producing more than 1,000 Ci (37,000 GBq) of copper-64 per day at capacity, which translates into more than 18,000 patient doses per day at 200 MBq per dose, with a 48-hour shelf-life, far in excess of commercial scale demands across multiple large indications.
The copper-64 supply from Nusano will complement Clarity’s existing network of US-based suppliers to ensure seamless, abundant production of this diagnostic isotope as the Company is progressing a number of late-stage clinical trials and fast approaching commercialisation.
Nusano plans to begin production of other medical isotopes, such as copper-67 and actinium-225, both of which are used in Clarity’s products, in 2025-2026.
SYDNEY, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Clarity Pharmaceuticals (ASX: CU6) (“Clarity” or “Company”), a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company with a mission to develop and commercialise next-generation products that improve treatment outcomes for people with cancer, is pleased to announce the signing of a commercial-scale Supply Agreement for copper-64 with Nusano.
Nusano’s 190,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in West Valley City, Utah is expected to begin production in 2025 with copper-64 isotope supply planned to commence in early 2026. The accelerator-based proprietary technologies employed by Nusano are particularly well suited for cost-effective mass production of copper-64. The Nusano facility is capable of producing more than 1,000 Ci (37,000 GBq) of copper-64 per day at capacity, which translates into more than 18,000 patient doses per day at 200 MBq per dose, with a 48-hour shelf-life, well in excess of commercial-scale demands across multiple large oncology indications in line with Clarity’s commercialisation strategy. Nusano is also developing in-house production of the target material for copper-64 manufacturing, nickel-64 (Ni-64), and plans to commence production of copper-67 (Cu-67 or 67Cu) and actinium-225 (Ac-225 or 225Ac) isotopes in 2025-2026. Both of these isotopes are used in Clarity’s pipeline of theranostic products in development.
Clarity’s Executive Chairperson, Dr Alan Taylor, commented, “The signing of this Supply Agreement with Nusano will complement Clarity’s existing network of US-based copper-64 suppliers, providing capacity to ensure abundant and seamless supply of the isotope. As Clarity is generating exceptional data in a number of late-stage clinical trials, we now also have a cost-effective, large-scale supply strategy locked in for the commercial roll-out of our Targeted Copper Theranostics (TCTs) in the largest healthcare market in the world, the US. This Agreement is an important part of a larger commercial manufacturing strategy, which we will continue implementing as we get closer to the filing of New Drug Applications (NDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“The ability to make isotopes and products in the US for the treatment of the American people is an important advantage in the current geo-political and economic environment. By building a supply chain that is fully integrated, from high-volume isotope production, to centralised product manufacture, to delivering these ready-to-use diagnostics to imaging sites in every state of the US on time and on demand, we are aiming to build a model that is impervious to economic and political instability.
“In large oncology indications, such as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) diagnostics (which Clarity is addressing with our key product, SAR-bisPSMA), ensuring stable, abundant and seamless supply of isotopes is crucial for a successful commercial launch.
“We have seen first-hand from the current generation of radio-diagnostics that efficient and timely product supply can make or break the adoption of the products and their expansion in the oncology practice. The current market leaders in PSMA PET imaging face several limitations associated with their short half-life (less than 2 hours vs. 12.7 hours for copper-64). These include short shelf-lives, restricted availability throughout the imaging site’s workday, and narrow imaging windows. At Clarity, our strategy is straightforward: we are determined to overcome these limitations and lay a strong foundation for the successful roll-out of TCTs globally.
“Our goal is to take radiopharmaceuticals to the next level by building a reliable and accessible supply that is consistent with the big pharma oncology model and deliver advantages to patients, their treating clinicians and imaging sites. Under this central manufacture model, the imaging sites will receive the copper-64 based diagnostics on demand, at any time and in volumes consistent with the rapidly growing demand of this blockbuster market. The clinicians have the added flexibility to administer the copper-based diagnostics and image patients over a significantly longer timeframe than what the current products allow. This translates into more flexibility for patient imaging and potentially higher lesion detection sensitivity that could lead to better identification of cancer lesions, helping to determine the best course of treatment for oncology patients.
“With our SAR-bisPSMA product generating a lot of exciting data and 3 US FDA Fast Track Designations granted for this product1,2,3 for accelerating its development, locking in commercial-scale supply of copper-64 means we are now closer than ever to changing the paradigm of prostate cancer diagnosis, ensuring no man is left waiting for a PSMA PET scan,” said Dr Taylor.
Nusano’s Chief Executive Officer, Chris Lowe, commented, “Nusano is commercialising a breakthrough radioisotope production platform in 2025 capable of producing more than 25 radioisotopes for life science applications, including copper-64, copper-67 and actinium-225. We are excited to enter into a Supply Agreement with Clarity for copper-64 to enable their clinical and commercial efforts with a dependable supply of radioisotopes from our world-class production facility in Utah.”
Additional Disclosure
The Supply Agreement is effective as of 16 April 2025 and is for an initial period of 3 years with automatic renewal for successive 2-year periods. Cancellation provisions are aligned with industry standard rates.
