Swiss manufacturer of household wire products Metaltex has installed a 581 kWp rooftop solar system at its production site in Genestrerio, near the Swiss-Italian border, selecting AIKO Neostar 2P 470W N-type ABC modules.
For the installation of 1,236 modules, the company partnered with Ecosinergie Tienergy and Krannich, the project’s distributor, the compact design of the AIKO modules optimizing roof utilization.
Ecosinergie project manager Gionata Mongodi commented: “The AIKO modules offered the highest power relative to the surface occupied, along with the most complete guarantees – from product and production to resistance against atmospheric damage such as hail, which is a particularly relevant issue nowadays. The customer was keen to adopt cutting-edge technology that could boost productivity and reliability and AIKO’s ABC modules were the most advanced on the market at the time of installation. It’s a perfect match for the client’s innovation-oriented mindset.”
Ivo Wenger, CFO and Group Controller at Metaltex, added: “The decision to install a photovoltaic system aligns with our long-term vision of sustainable manufacturing. AIKO’s high-efficiency technology allows us to make the best use of our rooftop area while achieving substantial savings and a faster return on investment.”
