Aiko Solar launches its first dual-glass module with copper instead of silver.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In a photovoltaic industry increasingly focused on efficiency, sustainability, and durability, AIKO<\/a><\/strong> once again takes the lead with a key innovation: its patented copper interconnection system<\/strong>. Integrated into its modules with ABC (All Back Contact) technology, this breakthrough redefines the performance and reliability of solar panels, especially in demanding applications.<\/p>\n

Beyond silver: a strategic bet on copper<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For decades, silver has been the standard material used in solar cell metallization. However, its intensive use\u2014solar energy already consumes nearly 20% of the global supply\u2014poses challenges in terms of cost, sustainability, and long-term availability.<\/p>\n

In response, AIKO has developed a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution: copper interconnection<\/strong>, a breakthrough that enhances both the electrical performance and mechanical strength of the module.

Key technical advantages of copper<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Copper doesn’t just replace silver\u2014it improves on it technically:<\/p>\n

Superior conductivity:<\/strong> Pure copper has a resistivity of only 1.7 \u03bc\u03a9\u00b7cm, compared to ~5 \u03bc\u03a9\u00b7cm in conventional silver pastes.<\/p>\n

Higher thermal efficiency:<\/strong> The low electrical resistance improves current collection, especially under high irradiation and heat.<\/p>\n

Low-temperature process:<\/strong> Electroplating technology eliminates the need for high-temperature sintering, reducing thermal stress on the cell and increasing its lifespan.<\/p>\n

Optimized mechanical strength:<\/strong> Copper joints\u2014between fingers and ribbons\u2014withstand over 5\u202fN of tensile force, enhancing resistance to microcracks, vibrations, and impacts.<\/p>\n

Engineered for real-world reliability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In comparative tests, AIKO’s ABC modules with copper interconnection showed significantly lower power loss compared to TOPCon modules<\/strong> under equivalent mechanical impacts. This makes them a highly reliable choice for installations exposed to harsh conditions, from industrial rooftops to floating PV systems.<\/p>\n

A standout example is the AIKO Stellar ABC<\/strong><\/a>, a dual-glass module specifically designed for floating applications. This model combines copper interconnection, high tensile strength, and enhanced durability in aggressive environments.<\/p>\n

Tangible benefits for installers, EPCs, and system owners<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This innovation is not just a technical achievement\u2014it\u2019s a direct improvement in the profitability of solar projects:<\/p>\n
