Chasing “light” and “green”, redefining photovoltaics for a zero-carbon world

As the "king" in the field of high-efficiency solar cells and modules, the founder and management team have redefined their mission and vision as the company reaches its 15th year of development.

Looking back on the mission and vision of the company in its early days, Chen Gang said: "The previous mission was set when the company was established in 2009. At that time, the photovoltaic industry was not big, probably at the GW level. If we want it to become a big industry, it needs to be widely used. , it should be the most economical and cheapest. It has taken all photovoltaic colleagues 15-20 years to make photovoltaic the most widely used economic energy. In some places, it has already cost less than 1 cent, so we think the first stage Mission accomplished.”

So, what should the future mission look like? As the European Union, the United States, Australia, China and other countries and regions have successively announced zero-carbon goals, entering a zero-carbon society has become the direction of joint efforts of mankind.

Facing the arrival of the era of zero-carbon goals, Chen Gang and his team are also thinking and discussing repeatedly, what can Aixu do?

"In the end, we set the new mission as 'bringing surging power to a zero-carbon society', and because the entire industry has reached a new turning point - from P-type to N-type, the ultimate efficiency of N-type is 29.56%. We set our vision We have also redefined it, hoping to push the photovoltaic industry into a more prosperous N-type extreme technology era through innovation in products and engineering manufacturing capabilities, so the new vision is defined as 'becoming a global leader in the photovoltaic industry'," said Chen Gang.

In response to the zero-carbon trend, Aixu has carried out a series of explorations and new model cooperation in the past two years. In 2023, Aixu will cooperate with Burgenland in Austria to carry out zero-carbon research. The two parties will jointly build Europe's first "zero-carbon society" in 2030. Outside of Europe, Aixu has also established a zero-carbon research department in China to specialize in studying the development of zero-carbon industries in the next 5-20 years.

At the same time, Aixu and Huafa Group are working together to build 18 zero-carbon projects in Zhuhai, among which the zero-carbon island project is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of May this year.

"The implementation of these projects will turn our dreams into reality and contribute to the sustainable development of the earth." Chen Gang said, "In this era, photovoltaic energy accounts for far less than 1/3 of the total system cost, and it will even increase in the future." Less than 1/5, while the costs related to people, space, and traditional resources are constantly increasing. Enterprises need to continuously increase the power per unit area to reduce the cost of electricity, which has given rise to the arrival of the N-type era, which is also the same area. The era of components where ‘power is king’.”

Dare to be the first and bravely enter the "no man's land" of ABC technology to hit the limit

Based on the zero-carbon strategic transition and "power is king", Aixu Co., Ltd. is fully committed to researching ABC technology.

Why are you so determined to choose ABC? Chen Gang replied: "The ultimate efficiency of monocrystalline silicon cells is 29.56%. What technology can achieve 29.56% in this era? It didn't exist at the time. Then we have to develop it and search among hundreds of technologies. Finally we found it. With ABC, we are fully confident that this technology will be cheaper than the current technology.”

Currently, photovoltaic cells are in the process of transformation from P-type to N-type. From the perspective of the PERC era, Aixu is undoubtedly a beneficiary of the changes in high-efficiency battery technology. Having tasted the dividends of technology iteration, Aixu pays more attention to the selection of next-generation new technologies.

Looking at the three mainstream N-type technology routes of TOPCon, HJT, and BC, TOPCon is the technology route currently focused on by various mainstream manufacturers due to its low investment threshold, strong economics, and many players on the track; HJT is affected by equipment costs and low-temperature silver. Affected by slurry and metal indium, there is a bottleneck problem that urgently needs to be solved by the industry; ABC has the characteristics of complex manufacturing process and high cost. The barriers to mass production debugging and cost control are relatively high, but the technical advantages are significant.

"In the era of monocrystalline silicon, ABC battery technology will remain leading in the next 5 to 8 years, so we developed N-type ABC technology."

He said, "In terms of product innovation, we think about problems with extreme thinking. The ultimate conversion efficiency of single crystalline silicon cells is 29.56%. If it is an area of 1 square meter and the battery components do not have any loss, the module power per square meter should be It is 295.6W. This means that our current 2382*1134 components should be close to 800W. Now we have achieved 655W. We will continue to develop technology in this direction to get closer to the 800W goal and continue to shorten the gap.

We hope to achieve 6%-9% more power than TOPCon modules of the same area, and achieve more than 700W next year. We just need to iterate like crazy and constantly develop new technologies and new products. This era must be an era where power is king. "

As the pioneer of n-type ABC technology, Aixu has worked hard for several years and delivered a beautiful answer to the industry and market. Since choosing the ABC route and investing in research and development in 2016, the battery mass production conversion efficiency has reached 27%, and the module mass production conversion efficiency has exceeded 24.2%. This is the highest module mass production efficiency in the world, much higher than similar products of other routes.

Conversion efficiency is the core competitiveness of photovoltaic cells and module products. Aixu, a technology pioneer with the spirit of extreme innovation deeply embedded in its genes, is turning the leading advantages of n-type ABC technology into reality step by step.

Extreme innovation, BC is the first to mass produce, and the cost will equal TOPCon by the end of the year

"We are the first company to mass-produce n-type BC technology, no one else." Chen Gang emphasized.

Based on a deep understanding of the development of the photovoltaic industry and technology accumulation, in November 2021, a 350MW pilot line of silver-free ABC cells and modules was put into production in Foshan. In the second half of 2023, Zhuhai 10GW and Yiwu 15GW ABC cell module projects will be put into production one after another. . It is reported that the first phase of Aixu Jinan’s 10GW ABC battery module project will also be put into production in 2025.

The large-scale mass-produced ABC components have industry-disruptive properties such as local shadow shading optimization, high temperature suppression, and crack resistance, and are used in Aixu ABC's full range of star products. Today, Aixu's high-efficiency ABC product matrix has been formed, including three series: "Star Series" for centralized power station scenarios, "Comet Series" for industrial and commercial scenarios, and "Black Hole Series" for household scenarios, fully covering all mainstream application scenarios of photovoltaic power generation. differentiated needs.

In terms of cost reduction, Aixu also works hard. The company pioneered the silver-free technology for photovoltaic cells in the industry, which can effectively avoid the impact of price fluctuations of precious metal silver on costs, effectively reduce the production cost of n-type cells, increase gross profit margins, and remove the "silver consumption" obstacle for the photovoltaic industry.

Chen Gang revealed that in the next 1 to 2 years, Aixu will continue to focus on customer pain points and pursue extreme thinking, carry out disruptive innovation in photovoltaic technology, and achieve further cost reductions through the improvement of engineering and manufacturing capabilities.

He said: "The Zhuhai factory is now our first-generation factory, Yiwu is the second-generation factory, and Jinan is the third-generation advanced factory. After two iterations of the Jinan factory, we are very confident that we can make ABC with a lower cost than TOPCon." product."

The high conversion efficiency of ABC technology has been verified. If the cost can be reduced as expected, its market competitiveness will be greatly improved, and it may redefine the industry development pattern.

As a pioneer in BC technology, Aixu stands at the forefront of the global energy transformation era with its forward-looking strategic vision and strong technical strength. Entering an era where power is king, we might as well look forward to what new peak photovoltaic extremes Aixu will create?trina solar panels
