In the rapidly evolving world of solar energy, AIKO has again set a new benchmark with unveiling its next-generation high-efficiency N-type ABC (All Back Contact) solar modules. This groundbreaking development was proudly introduced at the Key Energy trade fair in Rimini, Italy, marking a significant milestone in AIKO’s journey towards a carbon-free era.
The Genesis of Innovation
AIKO’s latest offering comprises three distinct series: the ‘Neostar’, ‘Comet’, and ‘Stellar’, each tailored to meet the diverse needs of residential, commercial & industrial (C&I), and utility-scale applications. These modules are not just another step but a giant leap forward in solar technology, embodying AIKO’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
Features That Set New Standards
The Gen 2 N-type ABC modules are designed with several innovative features that push the boundaries of solar energy technology. Among the most notable advancements is the innovative partial shading optimization function, which maximizes energy production even under challenging conditions such as trees, leaves, chimneys, and snow. This is particularly groundbreaking as TÜV Nord tests show that with only one fully shaded solar cell, AIKO’s ABC modules can generate 30% more power than traditional technology.
Moreover, these modules offer high-temperature restriction capabilities, ensuring lower module temperatures and reduced fire risk, especially in shaded environments. This feature, coupled with a superior temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, less performance degradation, and improved micro-crack resistance, underlines AIKO’s dedication to providing products that are not only efficient but also safe and durable.
Series Breakdown: Neostar, Comet, and Stellar
- ABC ‘Neostar’ Series: Aimed at the residential market, these modules offer a power rating range of 440-470 W, combining high power with a compact module area, very high efficiency of up to 23.6%, and pure black aesthetics for enhanced roof safety and appearance.
- ABC ‘Comet’ Series: For the C&I sector, the Comet series provides power ratings from 600-630 W and efficiencies of up to 23.9%, promising optimal rooftop space utilization and fast payback.
- ABC ‘Stellar’ Series: The Stellar series is a large-format bifacial product for utility-scale applications, offering power ratings from 620-640 W and efficiencies up to 23.7%. This series is designed to optimize the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for various landscapes, including an upgraded “waterproof package” for floating and tidal flats applications.
Aiko’s Vision for a Carbon-Free Future
Behind these innovations lies AIKO’s unwavering commitment to redefining photovoltaics and maximizing customer value through continuous technological advancement. The launch of the next-generation N-type ABC solar modules is a testament to AIKO’s dedication to pushing the limits of solar technology and providing solutions that exceed customer expectations.
Looking Ahead
