Backed by gigawatt-level production capacity and stringent quality control, AIKO has redefined how premium efficiencies can be achieved affordably and sustainably, accelerating the industry’s ability to deliver greater value to customers.

Driving a New Era for Back Contact Solar

AIKO’s innovations in technology and manufacturing have made Back Contact (BC) solar more attainable than ever. With performance gains and cost reductions now aligning, BC is seeing rapid global uptake across residential, commercial and utility-scale segments. This momentum is not only advancing AIKO’s own growth but also catalysing a broader industry movement.

According to Dr Radovan Kopeček of ISC Konstanz, one of the world’s leading IBC research institutes, conventional front-contact technologies such as TOPCon could be overtaken by back-contact modules around 2027–2028, particularly as key IBC patents expire. (*) The growing investment by other Tier-1 manufacturers reinforces this trajectory, signalling a positive feedback loop where scale drives down costs and further accelerates adoption.

“As the industry moves toward Back Contact as the dominant technology pathway, AIKO’s manufacturing capability and distribution network position us to lead that transition in Australia,” added Bywater. “Our partners are now equipped to deliver next-generation solar technology with the scale and support that large projects demand.”

AIKO’s leadership exemplifies how targeted R&D and disciplined execution can accelerate the adoption of superior solar technology, one that is more efficient, more durable and more accessible for all.
