The ABC modules have a 25.15% conversion efficiency, which Aiko said is certified by German technology testing house TÜV-SÜD. The modules are intended for the residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) markets, as well as utility-scale deployments.

At an event for the launch of the modules to the Australian market, Martin Green – a leading light in the solar module technology world – said: “Aiko’s innovative work on their ABC solar module resonates closely with our vision for the future of silicon photovoltaics, especially in back contact structures.”

He continued: “The community must continue to seek next-generation technologies.”

PV Tech Premium spoke with Green in December last year, where he said that he believed that back contact module technology would emerge as the dominant solar tech in the long run.

Earlier this month, Aiko – which has traditionally focused on solar cell manufacturing – launched the Comet and Neostar n-type ABC module series’, designed for the residential and C&I markets. In December 2023, the company launched its Stellar series of n-type ABC modules, which are designed for utility-scale deployments.
