New energy technology company AIKO poised for Australia market

Shanghai-based renewable energy company AIKO made its grand debut at the All-Energy exhibition in Melbourne, Australia on Oct 25 with its cutting-edge solar cell products, which captured attentions from global visitors.

The exhibition, one of Australia's largest, highlights cutting-edge renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies from around the world. Aiko unveiled its products for the first time in Australia as part of its efforts to expand the country's market.

One of the highlights of its exhibits was the ultra-efficient ABC (All Back Contact) structure cells and component products, which were independently developed by Aiko.

This type of solar photovoltaic panel can generate more electricity on the same surface area, compared with traditional front surface contact structure cells, and has an exceptional efficiency rating of 24 percent.

Founded in 2009, Aiko is an international player in solar cell manufacturing and in providing photovoltaic energy integrated solutions, with products sold in South Korea, Japan, India and Europe.

The company has, in recent years, been focusing on driving technological innovation to support the construction of a new energy system which would contribute to the global goals for carbon neutrality, said Aiko Chairman Chen Gang.

The company has also enhanced the efficiency and reliability of its solar cell technology in line with the demands of the Australian market.

The company's ABC double glass solar component utilizes dual-glass encapsulation technology and is superior in terms of moisture resistance and fire retardance. It has a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year power warranty.

The ABC structure cells can fully meet the needs of middle and high-end users in terms of aesthetics, structural safety, convenient installation, utilization rate and more power generation.

Aiko is working to expand its overseas market by exporting its products and setting up subsidiaries in foreign countries. As of the first half of 2023, Aiko had set up subsidiary companies in nine countries including Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, Singapore and Japan.

The company is also continuing to expand its global sales network in regions spanning Europe, Asia and Oceania. The company's entrance into the Australian market is a significant step in its global expansion efforts, showcasing its commitment to international growth.
