Volume value, not price
Struggling and racing towards the bottom line, the current photovoltaic industry is jointly experiencing the tragedy of bottom line competition.
The two major photovoltaic events just held were bustling and flowing, and the most discussed topic was' how to overcome this industry winter '.
In addition to oversupply, product homogenization is also an important reason for the pricing of enterprise vouchers. This is the reflection of Chen Gang, Chairman of Aixu Co., Ltd., on the current situation of the industry, which is that we should focus on the value rather than the price.
Currently, TOPCon technology is dominating the market, but it is difficult to open the door to a new century as it has not yet reached the efficiency ceiling of crystalline silicon batteries. On the other hand, BC, considered the ultimate technology of the single crystal silicon era, is emerging with its beautiful and superior conversion efficiency.
Of course, BC technology is difficult and the process threshold is high, which is regarded by many industry insiders as a "castle in the air". Aixu Co., Ltd., which was the first to mass produce N-type BC products in China, was also once considered to be "gambling". Chen Gang doesn't think this is a bet, but something that must be done: "We have tried all the N-type technology routes, and ABC is our ultimate choice and the ultimate technology for single-crystal silicon cells
Grades are the best answer. Over the past fifteen years, Aixu Corporation has been committed to using photovoltaic conversion efficiency as its core competitive advantage, leading technological breakthroughs and innovations in the global photovoltaic industry. In 2022, Aixu Co., Ltd. launched its first self-developed ABC component with a conversion efficiency of 23.6%, and has since topped the TaiyangNews global component production efficiency ranking for 16 consecutive months.
At the same time, Aixu Co., Ltd. is also committed to technological iteration and self innovation. In 2023, Aixu Co., Ltd. will push the conversion efficiency of ABC components to the era of 24%+, and release a new product for ground power stations, the "Star" series, with a double-sided rate of 70 ± 5%, breaking the BC double-sided shackles and completing the full scene layout of ABC technology products.
It cannot be denied that high-value products are often recognized first in markets that focus on high added value. Aixu Co., Ltd. has established a mature and reliable supply system in Europe with high-power, high-quality, and high-value products, not only breaking the situation of only focusing on price in homogeneous markets, but also bringing the focus back to the value of the product itself.

Full score component
As a leader in N-type BC technology, Aixu Corporation continues to challenge the 29.56% maximum conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon batteries. On June 12th, Aixu Group once again launched a technological revolution and delivered a "full" score answer to the market.
Full of Future "- This is the theme of the launch event for the new generation ABC" Full Screen "component of Aixu Corporation. What is' full '? The product definition given by Xia Hengliang, Vice General Manager of Aixu Co., Ltd., is that it can receive more light, increase efficiency, generate more power, increase value, and enhance appearance.
Among them, efficiency is the first priority, just like the market's deep-water bomb. This time, Aixu Group once again rewrote the milestone, and the newly upgraded "full screen" component production efficiency has been increased to 25%+.
And this disruptive breakthrough is due to the comprehensive upgrade of the entire process technology and process from silicon wafers, batteries to components.
In terms of silicon wafers, it is reported that the product uses ultra-high resistance n-type silicon wafers independently developed by Aixu Corporation, with lower doping concentration and a resistivity jump to 30 Ω· cm, breaking the dual constraints of resistivity and wire breakage. The minority carrier lifetime can be increased by about 10 times, ensuring low attenuation and high power generation throughout the product's lifecycle.
In terms of batteries, the ABC precise stacking welding process innovatively developed by Aixu Co., Ltd. has completely eliminated the inter chip spacing and increased the front light receiving area by 0.5%; At the same time, thanks to the natural adaptation of Aixu's stacked welding process and ABC component straight welding, the product has lower stress and lower risk of hidden cracks, solving the reliability pain points of the industry's stacked welding technology.
In addition, the fashionable and beautiful integrated "full screen" visual is also the biggest highlight of this product, which adopts Aixu's first 0BB series welding technology and creatively hides the bus bar on the back of the component. As a result, the front light absorption area of the component is increased by 1.1%, equivalent to an 8W increase in component power. The newly upgraded insulation material can effectively solve the reliability challenge of bus bar concealment.
With the support of cutting-edge technology, the light receiving area and battery efficiency of full screen components have been improved. According to Xia Hengliang, in the three major application scenarios of household use, industrial and commercial use, and ground use, it has been calculated that the "full screen" component generates more electricity throughout its entire lifecycle, effectively shortening the investment return period, improving the investment return rate, and creating unprecedented value returns for customers. In the fourth quarter of this year, Aixu Group's ABC products will fully introduce "full screen" technology, and the 2465mm * 1134mm module will enter the 700W era.
It is worth noting that breaking through cost constraints, Aixu shares are also confident. According to Chen Gang, Aixu Group has established a comprehensive ecosystem from research and development, manufacturing to product application. The current construction of a 10GW battery module production capacity in Jinan aims to achieve a cost per watt below TOPCon 0.03~0.05 yuan.
Behind it lies the accumulation of more than ten years of technological research and development by Aixu Corporation, as well as the comprehensive investment of human and material resources. It is reported that Aixu Group has established a comprehensive research and development management system. As of May 31, 2024, a total of 2100 patents have been applied for, including 430 patents in ABC technology, and 1220 authorized patents have been obtained, building an indestructible patent moat for itself.
Of course, based on the continuous pursuit of ultimate technological innovation, Aixu Corporation will not stop moving forward. Chen Gang revealed that he will reach the limit of crystalline silicon batteries within five years, while also exploring a new path.
