AIKO Unleashes Solar Power Revolution with “INFINITE” Modules, Eyeing Dominance in South Africa’s Solar Market

September 3rd, 2024

Cape Town, South Africa – August 27, 2024 AIKO, a global leader in new energy technology, is making a bold entrance into the South African market at Solar & Storage Live Cape Town 2024. This strategic move underscores AIKO’s commitment to revolutionizing the renewable energy sector in Africa, particularly through the introduction of its groundbreaking “INFINITE” series of N-Type ABC (All Back Contact) modules. These advancements signal a significant leap forward for utility, commercial, and residential solar applications, promising to set new benchmarks in efficiency and performance.

Revolutionizing Solar with the “INFINITE” Series

At the heart of AIKO’s innovative offerings is the “INFINITE” series, a product line that epitomizes the company’s cutting-edge approach to solar technology. Featuring ultra-high resistance N-Type silicon wafers and advanced ABC cell technology, the series is designed to maximize light absorption and efficiency. The 2382×1134mm module in the series delivers up to 680Wp at 25.2% efficiency, while the larger 2465×1134mm module pushes boundaries with a 700Wp output. These state-of-the-art modules are engineered to deliver unparalleled value, offering customers significant returns on investment and solidifying AIKO’s position as a leader in the solar industry.

Optimized Solar Solutions: Gen 2 ABC, Lightweight “Nebula” and the world first N-type ABC Anti-Dust Modules

Beyond the “INFINITE” series, AIKO is also introducing its Gen 2 ABC modules, including the ‘Neostar,’ ‘Comet,’ and ‘Stellar’ series, alongside the lightweight “Nebula” module. These innovations cater to a variety of scenarios, providing advanced shading optimization to maximize energy production even under challenging conditions. The Gen 2 modules also feature high-temperature restriction capabilities, reducing the risk of overheating and enhancing safety, especially in shaded environments.

The “Nebula” series stands out with its superior power output, delivering 10W more than conventional TOPCon modules of the same area, while being lightweight at just 8.6kg, offering enhanced load capacity, crack resistance, and versatility across residential and commercial applications. Additionally, AIKO introduces the N-Type ABC Anti-Dust module, the industry’s first with advanced anti-dust technology. This innovative module not only achieves the highest efficiency and power output but also reduces dust accumulation, ensuring consistent energy production and lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for industrial zones, coastal areas, urban environments, agricultural regions, and deserts.

Charting the Future of Solar Energy in South Africa

In less than six months of active operations in South Africa, AIKO has not only established key channel partnerships but has also strategically signed a joint venture with VEERS GROUP. This collaboration focuses on utility-scale and distributed solar PV projects, combining AIKO’s world-class technology with our partners local expertise to meet the growing energy needs across Africa.

AIKO has signed multi-year agreements with Herholdts Group, Solarvest, GC Solar, MSPD, and Solarpro to expand our advanced solar technologies across Africa. Additionally, AIKO has partnered with Veers Group and Afreenergy Solar to co-develop 320 MW of solar energy projects, exclusively utilizing AIKO modules. These collaborations will help meet Africa’s growing demand for renewable energy through high-efficiency solar solutions.

Deputy General Manager of AIKO, Mr. Xia Hengliang, expressed a visionary outlook on AIKO’s impact in the region: “AIKO is not merely entering the South African market; we are setting new benchmarks for efficiency, quality, and innovation. We are committed to leading South Africa into a sustainable energy future, positioning the region at the forefront of the global renewable energy revolution. AIKO’s innovation will not only redefine standards but also inspire a new era of solar excellence in South Africa and beyond.”
