LONGi supplies Hi-MO X10 modules for FARIA-developed solar projects in Greece
There has been a multitude of solar energy projects in 2026 as countries are making an effort to meet their clean energy targets. European countries have shown great solidarity and a willingness to collaborate with each other, understanding that the overall goal is to meet the entire continent’s targets rather than competing with each other. As such, there are various projects where countries are using foreign companies to execute groundbreaking projects that will elevate the entire continent. In the latest European-based clean energy project, LONGi supplied Hi-MO X10 modules for FARIA-developed solar projects in Greece.
A general overview of LONGi as a global leader in the solar energy sector
LONGi is a well-respected leader in energy technology, which drives innovation across solar, energy storage, and hydrogen. These are the three core pillars of a fully integrated clean energy system. The company delivers safe, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions to customers worldwide, even though it is primarily based in Yunnan, China, and Kuching, Malaysia.
The Asian continent is viewed as the hub for solar energy generation, considering that it has a lot of countries that lead the way in total solar energy capacity. For instance, China is the leading solar energy-producing country in the world which allows its companies to operate on a global level as other countries respect the position China is in.
LONGi seamlessly connects green power generation, energy storage, and hydrogen production to enable end-to-end clean energy coverage, from generation and storage to consumption. After achieving much success in Asia the company is now shifting its attention to Europe.
An assessment of how LONGi is transforming the solar energy landscape in Greece
Greece has slowly turned into one of Europe’s most dynamic renewable energy markets, with solar PV acting as a primary engine for securing a clean, independent energy future. LONGi and FARIA RENEWABLES have shown full dedication to the green revolution as they have deployed top-quality technology to meet the country’s ambitious climate and decarbonization targets.
All combined, the Athamas and Mykonos plants reflect a massive step forward for Greece. They also display a perfect mixture of advanced technological engineering and strict environmental and historical stewardship. Greece has made a huge amount of progress in its production and use of renewable energy.
Wind and solar power are the main energy sources driving this evolution. Interestingly, these are the two energy sources that have faced great criticism for being prone to intermittency issues. With LONGi prioritizing energy storage, the solar initiatives in this instance are likely to be successful and overcome the intermittency challenges.
Breaking down the significance of LONGi supplying Greece with modules
When initiatives of such a high magnitude reach completion, they change the trajectory of the energy landscape and create great excitement for what is to come in the future. Athanasios Plainos, who is LONGi’s Country Manager for Greece and Cyprus, stated the following:
“Solar PV is the backbone of Greece’s clean energy transition. We are incredibly proud to deepen our cooperation with FARIA RENEWABLES on these two pivotal projects in Thessaly. Introducing the next-generation Hi-MO 9 series to the Greek utility sector ensures lower BOS costs and higher system efficiency.”
Construction on the 45.51 MW Athamas plant is set to start on November 1, 2025, with grid connection scheduled for July 31, 2026.
Looking ahead: Is LONGi set to be a constant feature in the Greek solar sector?
Construction in the 36.15 MW Mykonos plant is expected to commence on February 1, 2026, and connect to the grid by June 30, 2027. For both sites, FARIA RENEWABLES will be the developer, EPC contractor, and ultimate owner, using a combined total of 125,280 high-power LONGi modules to maximize energy generation.
The Athamas project is officially FARIA RENEWABLES’ largest PV development ever, which signals the progress the company has made. If the entity maintains a good relationship in Greece, it will be able to break even more records.
