Aiko Solar will be exhibiting at C&I Energy+Storage Summit Johannesburg

In this exclusive interview Kevin Robinson, Business Development Manager – Africa at Aiko Solar, explains what makes their back contact technology so attractive to the C&I market.

In South Africa’s C&I landscape, energy-intensive industries face increasing pressures from rising costs and the push toward sustainability and Aiko Solar believe they can help customers address the two issues.

“We decided to participate in the C&I Energy+Storage Summit this year and the main reason we decided to join is it gives us the ability to showcase Aiko’s innovative all back contact technology.

“It’s a very high efficiency solar technology with some very innovative solutions which give us a very high efficiency, but also we get partial shading optimisation which gives us a much higher energy yield,” explains Robinson.

He will be at C&I Energy+Storage Summit from 4-5 November at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg.
