AIKO’s Nebular Lightweight Module Selected for Tokyo Government’s 2024 High-Performance Solar Subsidy Program

AIKO’s Nebular Lightweight Module Selected for Tokyo Government’s 2024 High-Performance Solar Subsidy Program

April 15th, 2025

AIKO is proud to announce that its Nebular anti-glare lightweight module has been officially selected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for the 2024 “High-Performance Solar Power Systems” certification program. Among 193 certified solar products, AIKO’s module stands out as the only product selected under the “non-glass, anti-glare module” category — achieving the highest subsidy tier.

Under this program, eligible residential PV projects in Tokyo using the Nebular module can receive a generous subsidy of up to JPY 80.000/kW (~EUR 0,49/W), demonstrating the government’s strong support for cutting-edge, high-performance solar technology.

Designed to meet the unique needs of Japan’s rooftop solar market, AIKO’s Nebular module balances lightweight design, high efficiency, and robust reliability. With a standard footprint of under 2㎡ and weighing only 8,6kg, it is approximately 60% lighter than conventional glass modules — significantly reducing rooftop load. It retains the hallmark performance of AIKO’s N-Type ABC technology, achieving up to 22,5% efficiency and a maximum power output of 450W.

Built with a dual-beam frame and a special backside design, the module also features enhanced crack resistance and superior thermal dissipation — ensuring safer performance even in high-temperature environments. Its anti-glare function meets the visual requirements of sensitive locations such as airports, highways, and densely built urban areas.

Certified by major international institutions including CE (EU), TÜV, MCS (UK), and JPEA (Japan), the Nebular module also meets stringent Japanese standards for performance, safety, and installation. It is also fully compatible with existing racking and BOS systems, offering easy integration with no additional design effort.

This recognition by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government not only validates AIKO’s innovation in module design but also reinforces our mission to provide solar solutions tailored to local needs. With this milestone, AIKO continues to accelerate the zero-carbon transformation in Japan and beyond.
