2026 SNEC PV Power EXPO
Defines a new era of photovoltaic value
The 19th International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition took place in Shanghai from June 3 to 5, 2026. As a pioneer and leader in BC technology, AIKO unveiled both the G4 Ultra modules and the ABC Anti-Fire modules, once again raising the industry’s efficiency ceiling with mass-production efficiency of up to 26% and officially ushering in the 690W era.
During the exhibition, AIKO unveiled a series of breakthrough technological achievements and full-scenario smart energy solutions, securing over 3.75GW in global partnership orders. Customers, partners, industry organizations, and authoritative media from six continents gathered at the AIKO booth to witness the milestone – a strong signal of ABC technology’s leadership in the global energy transition.

ABC modules have continuously led TaiyangNews’s global mass-production efficiency rankings
In recognition of the partners driving that momentum, AIKO also presented the “Pioneering Progress Award,” the “Collaborative Expansion Award,” and the “Strategic Leadership Award” to outstanding partners in ecosystem co-construction and market co-development. Amid deep industry transformation, these global partners were among the first to enter the ABC module market, achieving comprehensive breakthroughs in performance. They stand not only as global ambassadors of the AIKO ABC brand, but as committed practitioners of ABC’s full value.
G4 Ultra ABC Modules — “King of Efficiency,” the Fourth-Generation Evolution
With breakthroughs at both the cell and module level, the G4 Ultra pushes cell coverage to 97% and mass-production efficiency up to 26%, formally marking the arrival of the 690W era through disruptive technological innovation.
Building on full-screen processes such as hidden busbars, elimination of inter-row gaps, and 0BB, the G4 Ultra module delivers dual breakthroughs at the cell and module levels. Since the first solar module was created in 1963, soldering technology has evolved from 2BB to 0BB – yet cell coverage has lagged behind. Even in the TOPCon era, coverage topped out at no more than 93%. Through disruptive “full-screen” technology, AIKO has raised the G4’s cell coverage past 97%, lifting instantaneous solar energy capture efficiency by a full 4 percentage points.
Cell-side upgrades: Six refined improvements — poly layer optimization, interface passivation optimization, front-side texture reconstruction, hydrogen passivation optimization, PN-region base morphology optimization, and GAP-region structural optimization — raised average mass-production ABC cell efficiency from 27.2% to 27.4%, with module efficiency reaching 26% at peak.
Module-side upgrades: A newly developed nano-scale insulating coating shortened edge creepage distance by 32%, cutting non-active area by 20%, raising cell coverage to 97%, and adding 10W of power over the previous-generation full-screen modules.

ABC Anti-Fire Module — the Photovoltaic Industry’s First Active + Passive dual Fire-Protection System
“Since the invention of solar modules, it has still been impossible to guarantee both active and passive fire-protection functions; worldwide, rooftop solar power plant fire incidents are nearly 30 per GW installed.”
AIKO ABC Anti—Fire module is the photovoltaic industry’s first module product capable of keeping hotspot temperatures within 100°C while providing both active and passive fire-protection functions. The module pioneers the Thermal Shield fire-resistant barrier material, building a “temperature control + arc-pull prevention + flame retardancy + fire isolation + thermal insulation” five-in-one three-dimensional fire-protection system, eliminating fire hazards at the source and setting a new safety standard for commercial and industrial rooftop scenarios.
From Rooftops to Deserts, ABC is everywhere
At the SNEC 2026, AIKO, with “full-scenario value” as the core narrative, systematically showcased differentiated solutions of ABC modules across three major scenarios — utility power plants, commercial and industrial rooftops, and residential households — with real cases, quantifiable returns, and empirical data providing triple verification, giving a clear answer: in any scenario, AIKO ABC is the high-value choice for photovoltaic modules.
Seeing is Believing
AIKO installed an upgraded on-site comparative experimental setup at the SNEC 2026 booth, replacing data piling with tangible, visible demonstrations so that every visitor could see with their own eyes and feel with their own hands the core technical advantages of ABC modules. The on-site display attracted numerous domestic and international media for live coverage.
Contracts Signings Exceeded 3.75GW! Market Value Highly Recognized
At the SNEC 2026, AIKO ABC modules, thanks to their unique differentiated value, won the favor of many customers and signed cooperation agreements with multiple domestic and international partners, with a total scale exceeding 3.75GW, becoming the undisputed “PV value choice”.
Not only leading comprehensively in the energy track, AIKO has extended its green reach into broader ecological fields, simultaneously signing strategic framework agreements with multiple parties covering AI computing, zero-carbon agriculture, and environmental governance, leveraging photovoltaic technology as a pivot to mobilize a broader green industry ecosystem.

Crowning Honors : Continuing the “Efficiency King” Legend
ABC modules have ranked first on TaiyangNews’s global mass-produced module efficiency list for 39 consecutive months, earning high recognition from global authoritative organizations with continuously leading technical strength.
During SNEC 2026, AIKO once again won multiple top industry honors, reaffirming its market position as the “value choice” with its strength.

Shaping the Future of Photovoltaics
On June 2, on the eve of the SNEC exhibition opening, the “G4 Debut, Value Blossoms — 2026 AIKO Night” banquet was grandly held in Shanghai. “Father of Solar”, Professor Martin Green of the University of New South Wales, Liu Yiyang, Executive Secretary-General of the China Photovoltaic Association, and other authoritative experts, along with global industry leaders, channel partners, industry organizations and media representatives, gathered together to share cutting-edge technological achievements and insights into industry trends.
“Continuously improving the timely capture efficiency of solar energy and reducing the cost of using solar energy, leading human society into a zero-carbon era, is AIKO’s mission. In the electric power era, new energy, new infrastructure, and new industries together form a new technology tree that supports humanity’s evolution from a single-planet species to a multi-planet species, and humanity will enter an exceptionally prosperous AI civilization era.”
