A WDC Networks, a Brazilian company focused on telecommunications sectors with optical fiber, announced a partnership with LONGI, a company that is a world leader in the manufacture of solar modules and cells, to supply the Brazilian distributed energy market. The partnership enables WDC to start using LONGI's photovoltaic modules in the manufacture and assembly of photovoltaic power generators for the distributed generation market in Brazil. The products will be manufactured in the city of Extrema, Minas Gerais.

Brazilian distributed energy market can only gain from the partnership

LONGI is a global giant in the segment. It supplies high-efficiency products around the world and is the most valuable and top-earning solar technology company on the planet. The Chinese company leads the ranking of manufacturing photovoltaic modules, as well as inputs for solar panels and other clean energy products.

With WDC's partnership with LONGI, the Brazilian market should only win. LONGI is successful in the market offering a guarantee of no less than 25 years.

"LONGI, a global leader in the supply of solar modules and the company with the best financial health in the segment, has its HIMO-4 and HIMO-5 products recognized for their high quality and energy production. We recognize the very high quality of LONGI's solutions as a strategic partner for the manufacture of WDC Solar generators“, said André Luiz de Paula Souza, director of the WDC solar unit.
