LONGi Green EnergyTechnology Co., Ltd., a global energy transition leader with integratedsolar-plus-storage solutions, today announced at Intersolar Europe 2026 that it will become an Official Partner of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026, held on 27 September 2026.

The partnership marks LONGi’s first collaboration with an Abbott World Marathon Major and representsa significant milestone in its long-term commitment to Europe. It also serves as a major platform for introducing EcoLife, LONGi’s premium home energy brand, to households across the region as demand for clean and sustainable energysolutions continues to grow.
LONGi and the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON are a natural fit, both driven by the conviction that a limit is never the end, only something to push past.

The world’s No.1 solar module maker meets the world’s fastest marathon
Widely acknowledged as the world’s fastest marathon course, the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON has been the venue for countless marathon world records, driving the sport ever nearer to the once-unthinkable two-hour barrier. Each September, tens of thousands of runners, from elite professionals to first-time amateurs, race through the heart of the German capital to the finish line behind the Brandenburg Gate. It is, above all, an event about human potential and how far determination can carry aperson.
LONGi is driven by the same instinct. Through industry-leading innovation, it advances solar technology and sets new benchmarks in cell efficiency, work that has made LONGi the world’sNo.1 solar module manufacturer (Wood Mackenzie, 2026).
That shared pursuit is captured in the partnership theme, “Power the Limitless”, a drive to push beyond boundaries on the course and in the lab.
“The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON represents excellence, endurance and global inspiration. Those same values drive LONGi’s pursuit of innovation. This partnership lets us carry that belief to a global stage and prove that clean energy, like the runners themselves, can always go further,” said Charles Jiang, Vice President, LONGi.
That same conviction now shapes how LONGi shows up in Europe, where the energy transition is reaching into people’s homes.

EcoLife brings LONGi’s solar technology to European households
Europe remains a defining market in the global energy transition, driven by rising demand for energy independence and sustainability.
EcoLife reflects LONGi’s vision for the future of residential energy. As a premium home energy solution, it brings together high-performance solar technology, proven reliability and design-led innovation to support European households in generating and using energy more efficiently.
By partnering with an event that draws participants and spectators from around the world, LONGi deepens its connection with consumers and brings clean energy further into everyday life.
Beyond a shared drive to break records, LONGi and the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON are united by a deep commitment to sustainability.
Two partners committed to a sustainable future
Sustainability is a shared commitment of LONGi and BMW BERLIN-MARATHON. Through its “Solar for Solar” initiative, LONGi is advancing toward net-zero emissions by 2050 and accelerating the clean energy transition.
Likewise, the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON integrates sustainability across environmental, economic and social dimensions, creating lasting value beyond race day.
“The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON has always been about what people can achieve when they push past their limits – and, increasingly, about doing it responsibly. In LONGi we have found a partner who shares both: a belief inhuman potential and a serious record on sustainability. We are delighted to welcome them, and to bring clean energy into one of the world’s great sporting moments,” said Christian Jost, CEO of SCC EVENTS, organizer of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON.
Details of LONGi’s activation during the race weekend will be announced closer to the event. The partnership reinforces LONGi’s mission to advance the global energy transition.
