The selection process moves beyond simple market share, evaluating companies on cumulative equipment shipments, manufacturing diversification, and financial health. S&P Global also incorporates sustainability metrics into its assessment, marking a shift in how the industry identifies long-term stability and operational transparency. According to Edurne Zoco, Head of Clean Technologies and Supply Chains at S&P Global, the list aims to provide developers and investors with a reliable benchmark for supplier strength in an increasingly crowded market.
LONGi Secures Spot on S&P Global 2026 Tier 1 Cleantech List
For the second consecutive year, Xi'an-based LONGi Green Energy Technology has earned a place among the world’s elite cleantech suppliers. The company is one of only 15 global firms to meet the rigorous six-point criteria set by S&P Global Energy for its 2026 Tier 1 classification.

LONGi’s repeated inclusion signals to project financiers and international partners that the firm maintains a verified track record in the solar sector. By meeting the benchmarks for Solar PV Modules, the company reinforces its standing in supply chain due diligence and large-scale power station tenders. The roster, which includes leaders in wind and energy storage, serves as an annual audit of industrial performance rather than a static ranking, requiring consistent output and fiscal discipline to remain on the list.
