AIKO has announced the continuation of its collaboration with Nordlys NTNU, Norway’s first solar car team, the extended partnership (2026–2027) seeing AIKO continue to supply its high-efficiency ABC cells for the team’s vehicle development.
Nordlys NTNU Project and Board Leader Rasmus Nummelin commented: “The continued collaboration with AIKO gives us confidence. We are a young team, but AIKO trusted us when we started, and they are still with us. Their ABC cells give us the technical foundation we need. The efficiency is industry-leading, and the back-contact design allows us to maximize active solar area on the vehicle. Knowing we have reliable technology on board lets us focus on everything else we need to build and learn. We need components that work as specified, every time, and AIKO’s ABC cells have met our technical expectations throughout the development process.”
The continuation of this partnership reflects a broader philosophy at AIKO. The company not only partners with winning teams, but also chooses to believe in teams that are building themselves from the ground up, with everything still to prove.
AIKO CMO Jessica Zhang added: “We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Nordlys. We believe in supporting the next generation of engineers, not only when they win, but especially when they are still finding their way. Nordlys represents exactly that: young engineers with big ambitions, building something from nothing. We are here to stay with them.”
