AIKO, a leading innovator in photovoltaic technology, has announced a significant upgrade to its INFINITE ABC module series, introducing what it claims is the world’s first 500W solar module under 2 square meters. This pivotal development, unveiled recently, sets a new industry benchmark for power density in compact photovoltaic modules, offering enhanced performance for both residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications where space optimization is paramount.

The new generation of INFINITE modules delivers a substantial increase in output, providing up to 30W more power than conventional TOPCon modules of comparable physical dimensions. The updated product line, meticulously designed to maintain the widely adopted standard 1762mm × 1134mm format, includes four distinct variants. The INFINITE Black, available in both Mono-glass and Dual-glass configurations, now achieves an impressive peak power of up to 490W. The INFINITE White, also offered in Mono-glass and Dual-glass, pushes the boundary further, reaching an exceptional 500W. This advancement directly addresses the market's demand for higher energy yields without necessitating larger installation footprints.

This upgrade follows a period of robust market reception for AIKO’s original INFINITE series. Global deliveries for the initial series commenced in March, quickly leading to new orders surpassing 1GW by May, a testament to strong demand observed particularly during the Intersolar exhibition. AIKO’s strategic move to launch the upgraded INFINITE series aims to capitalize on this momentum, providing both residential and C&I customers with superior output in a familiar module size, thereby simplifying system design and installation while maximizing energy production.

Beyond the headline 500W output, the upgraded INFINITE series continues to embody AIKO’s core product philosophy, which integrates ultimate efficiency, intelligent technology, pure aesthetics, and unrivalled durability. The modules boast industry-leading conversion rates, a direct result of AIKO’s unique two-step and copper interconnection processes, which minimize electrical losses and enhance current collection. Furthermore, the design incorporates proven micro-crack resistance and superior high-temperature performance, ensuring long-term reliability and stable energy generation even under challenging environmental conditions. Aesthetically, the front-side gridline-free, pure-black design of the Black variant offers a sleek and unobtrusive appearance, a key differentiator for architectural integration. This comprehensive approach solidifies the new generation's position as a redefined standard for N-Type Back Contact (ABC) modules, a technology known for its superior efficiency and low degradation rates compared to traditional PERC or even standard TOPCon technologies.

The introduction of a 500W module in a standard residential footprint signifies a notable advancement in solar technology, poised to accelerate the adoption of high-power density solutions in distributed generation. This innovation is expected to contribute to lower balance-of-system (BOS) costs and higher energy yields per square meter, directly benefiting project developers and end-users seeking to maximize energy production from limited roof or ground space. AIKO’s continued investment in N-Type ABC technology underscores its commitment to pushing the boundaries of photovoltaic performance and design, setting a new benchmark for the global solar industry.
