Europe’s Largest BC Project: Green Line Energy Commits to 340MW with AIKO
Greek renewable energy company Green Line Energy S.A. has signed a 340MW agreement for AIKO’s high-efficiency BC modules, marking the largest known utility-scale project in Europe to adopt BC technology to date. Green Line Energy is affiliated with Agrotech S.A., Greece’s largest distributor of agricultural machinery, and is expanding into clean energy as part of its long-term decarbonization strategy.
“We selected AIKO for their proven module performance and advanced BC technology, which aligns with our ambition to lead large-scale solar development in Southeast Europe. This project is a milestone not only for us, but for the broader industry adoption of back-contact innovation,”
said Maria Mitsiolidou, CEO, Green Line Energy S.A.
CrossBoundary Energy Selects AIKO for Africa’s Largest BC Solar Project
AIKO will supply 225MW of Stellar series modules to CrossBoundary Energy for the Kamoa Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, supporting renewable power generation for one of Africa’s largest copper operations. This solar project is the first of its kind in Africa, providing a 30MW dispatchable renewable baseload energy supply to the mine. It is expected to offset diesel generator use and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 78,750 tonnes annually. This marks the largest deployment of BC technology on the continent to date, further proving its suitability for high-performance, off-grid applications in industrial and mining sectors.
Versolvio d.o.o Signs 200MW Agreement with AIKO for Utility Projects
Versolvio d.o.o, a renewable energy developer in Southeast Europe, has signed a 200MW agreement with AIKO at Intersolar Europe 2025. Represented by Mr. Marko Vukobratović, the company selected AIKO’s BC modules for upcoming utility-scale deployments.
“Versolvio is impressed by the high efficiency AIKO has brought to the market,” said Vukobratović. “The unique features of the BC modules deliver added value and tangible benefits to end clients, making them stand out from standard products. We are also inspired by AIKO’s relentless drive to push the boundaries of solar innovation—this spirit aligns closely with our vision for the future of energy infrastructure.”
50MW Framework Agreement with Wisely Energy
WISELY ENERGY, part of the DEVELO Group, signed a 50MW frame agreement with AIKO at Intersolar. This partnership reflects growing interest from developers in smart, high-efficiency solar solutions that can meet the evolving demands of utility-scale asset owners.
“We believe AIKO’s BC technology brings real added value in terms of long-term output and bankability. This agreement marks the beginning of a collaboration we are confident will grow further,” commented Joonas Lahti, CEO, Wisely Energy.
AIKO’s Utility Growth Reflects Global Demand for High Efficiency Solar
“We’re proud to see AIKO’s utility business expanding across multiple continents,” said Justin Yuan, Vice President of Utility Business Overseas at AIKO. “These agreements reflect growing market confidence in both BC technology and AIKO’s ability to deliver higher efficiency, lower LCOE, and long-term reliability. Our focus remains on creating solutions that maximize system value for utility-scale partners around the world.”
From Europe’s largest BC module project to Africa’s most ambitious off-grid deployment, together with its utility partners, AIKO is driving change at scale — reaffirming the role of innovation in accelerating the global transition toward a carbon-free society.
