AIKO Named Top Performer in Kiwa PVEL 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard
June 5th, 2025
[Düsseldorf, June 5, 2025] – AIKO, a global leader in high-efficiency solar technology and pioneer in Back Contact (BC) technology, has been recognized as a Top Performer in the Kiwa PVEL 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, one of the industry’s most trusted independent evaluations of module quality and reliability.
This distinction follows a series of rigorous lab-based reliability tests under PVEL’s Product Qualification Program (PQP), which simulates long-term field exposure to identify the most durable and high-performing PV modules. AIKO-Axxx-GRH66Dw module achieved Top Performer status across multiple test sequences, demonstrating less than 2% power loss and no critical failures in the following categories:
- Thermal Cycling (TC600)
- Damp Heat (DH2000)
- Potential-Induced Degradation (PID+, PID-)
- Light-Induced and Light Elevated Temperature-Induced Degradation (LID + LETID)
By excelling in these key areas, AIKO modules have proven their durability under extreme thermal, mechanical, and environmental stress. This recognition highlights AIKO’s deep commitment to product quality and long-term reliability.
“We congratulate AIKO for their strong performance in our 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kiwa PVEL. “Achieving Top Performer status across multiple of our Product Qualification tests confirms that their modules meet the durability and reliability benchmarks required for ensuring quality in real-world performance.”
Christian Peter, Managing Director of Solarlab Aiko Europe GmbH, commented:
“We are proud to be recognized by Kiwa PVEL as a Top Performer. These results validate our ongoing investments in R&D and our focus on delivering the most efficient and robust solar solutions in the market. As a pioneer in Back Contact technology and the global leader in mass production of N-Type ABC modules, we continue to push the boundaries of photovoltaic performance.”
Kiwa PVEL’s annual Scorecard is a go-to resource for developers, investors, and EPCs seeking independently verified data on module reliability and long-term performance. AIKO’s recognition not only affirms its leadership in photovoltaic innovation but also reinforces its mission to accelerate the global transition to a zero-carbon future.
