Solution

The project uses AIKO ABC modules with a total installed capacity of 4.6 MW, efficiently converting sunlight into clean electricity and powering elevator manufacturing with clean, low-carbon electricity. With a mass-production delivery efficiency of up to 24.4%, ABC modules enable more capacity to be installed within the same roof area, unlocking more clean energy from every square metre. The lighter single-glass design significantly reduces roof loading and is well suited to metal roofs. For Dongguan’s hot and humid summers, ABC modules offer high-temperature protection, a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, and low degradation of no more than 1% in the first year and 0.35% annually thereafter. These features reduce heat-related power loss, support reliable long-term generation, and lower electrical fire risks. The project cuts electricity costs and carbon emissions while helping meet international requirements for green certificates and green electricity, supporting the company’s access to overseas markets. AIKO’s ABC technology is helping IFE Elevators advance toward a new level of green manufacturing and a zero-carbon future.

 Client
Testimonial

Compared with conventional modules, AIKO ABC modules allowed us to install 10% more capacity. That was the most direct and important benefit for us, because more installed capacity means more returns. Safety is critical in the elevator industry, and Dongguan summers are extremely hot. ABC modules’ high-temperature protection greatly reduces fire risks and gives us confidence. Their resistance to microcracks is also excellent: despite repeated handling during installation, not a single module cracked, and we have had no issues in operation. The system is very easy to manage. Solar generation brings the company approximately RMB 3 million in economic benefits while helping it become a advancing sustainable manufacturing practices in China.
