Longji BC Helps Two of the World's Top Solar Teams to Compete in the US Solar Challenge

From July 25 to August 1, the American Solar Challenge (Elektrek American Solar Challenge, ASC) officially opened. The race started in Minnesota and went all the way south along Highway 66 to Texas. This is a long journey across the North American continent.

Unlike the well-known sprint, this contest does not compete for instantaneous speed, but is decided by the cumulative driving distance of eight days. Changeable climate zones and complex terrain force the team to continuously optimize energy management and every strategic choice in long-distance running.

It is this extreme scenario that makes Longji deeply integrated into the world's top solar racing ecosystem for the second consecutive year.

In 2025, Longji joined hands with the Belgian team Innoptus Solar Team for the first time in the World Solar Challenge. This year, the peer has been further deepened-Longji has become the core technical partner of the Belgian Innoptus Solar Team and the Dutch Delft Solar Team fleet. Both teams rank among the top three in the world in the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC) and are the only two European teams in this ASC event.

From racing to endurance, from one team to two strong teams, the upgrade is not only the scale of cooperation, but also the determination to break through the technological boundaries with global innovators. For Longji, every event is not the end, but a new starting point for repeated verification and breakthroughs.

Extreme performance, from the deep integration

of technology, strategy and team, solar racing can run faster and farther, not relying on a single technology, but the result of the deep integration of technology, strategy and team collaboration.

technology is the base. The energy system with Longji high efficiency BC battery as the core is the only direct power source for racing cars. Its conversion efficiency, lightweight and reliability determine how much energy the vehicle can stably capture from sunlight, and support all innovative ideas such as aerodynamics and energy management.

The strategy is the amplifier. During the eight-day race, the team must combine real-time variables such as weather, sunshine and road conditions to make a careful calculation of each kilowatt hour of electricity. Route adjustment, speed control, energy distribution-every decision may rewrite the final ranking.

has turned everything into a reality. Drivers, engineers and industry chain partners are closely engaged, twisting technology and people into a rope, and jointly launching an impact on further mileage.

From Minnesota to Texas, the harsh environment across multiple climatic zones pushes the test of synergy of technology, strategy and team to the limit. Longji devotes himself to it in the hope of providing more reliable and efficient energy cornerstone for global explorers and jointly expanding the imagination space of solar energy application with the continuous breakthrough of photovoltaic technology. The connection

between Longji and the team begins with the consensus

of technology co-creation. In the field of solar racing, the connection between Longji and the team is never based on capital, but a two-way rush around technology co-creation.

Longji has always provided core PV support for cooperative teams with leading BC technology: the Belgian team is equipped with new customized high-efficiency BC flexible components , while the Dutch team uses Longji high-efficiency BC battery strings. The reason behind

this is simple. The roof area of racing cars is extremely limited, and each battery must pursue the ultimate conversion efficiency, while withstanding the extreme test of high-speed driving, complex curved surface and long-distance endurance. The efficiency, weight, reliability and consistency of flexible components are far beyond the conventional application scenarios. For

this reason, the choice of top teams is essentially a rigorous test of technical ability. This time, the two world-class teams trust Longji, focusing on its comprehensive advantages in BC technology innovation, conversion efficiency and product stability, which directly determines how far the car can run and whether it can finish the race smoothly.

For Longji, the significance of joint exploration is far more than a competition. What is really worth pursuing is to verify the technology, break through the boundaries in a real and rigorous challenge, and work with global partners to push the possibility of solar energy farther and farther.
