Project Challenge
German developers have stringent supplier qualification requirements, along with high expectations for module efficiency, performance under partial shading, long-term energy yield, and delivery reliability. Meeting these requirements demands both strong technical capabilities and proven project execution.
Solution
With the site now producing, the technical and economic advantages of AIKO’s ABC modules have moved from design to reality. AIKO’s ABC modules, AIKO-G-MCH72Dw (2382×1134×30mm), deliver 24.0% efficiency and a power output of 645/650Wp,providing 30 W more power than leading TOPCon products within the same module area. Superior partial-shading performance ensures stable output even when modules are affected by dust, vegetation, or structural shading. Low degradation rates (first-year ≤1%, annual 0.35% from year 2 to 30) further support long-term energy yield.

Testimonial
German developers face strict qualification requirements, high performance expectations, and a strong focus on delivery security. AIKO addressed these with CEO-level engagement, a transparent production roadmap, reliable delivery scheduling, and comprehensive quality assurance. After evaluating multiple suppliers, AIKO’s ABC technology made a compelling case, particularly in high efficiency, performance under partial shading and long-term yield, giving us confidence in the project’s timeline and returns.
