Akcome Attended World Smart Energy Week 2023 in Japan

March 15-17, World Smart Energy Week 2023 was held at the BIG SIGHT Exhibition Center in Tokyo. With AK iPower, AK iTopper and AK iChaser full series of high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, as well as MOUNT series and ROOF series photovoltaic mounting system, Akcome had made a grand appearance, bringing the latest photovoltaic products, cutting-edge technologies and solutions to customers all over the world. The booth scene was crowded with people and the atmosphere was hot.

With stable new energy supporting policies and non-governmental acceptance, Japanese PV market is a high-quality overseas market worthy of deep cultivation by PV enterprises. For the past decade (except 2021), Japan has maintained more than 6 GW of PV installation capacity per year. According to the sixth edition of Energy Strategic Program issued by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Industry (METI), Japan plans to increase the proportion of photovoltaic power generation to 14%-16% in 2030, which can predict that the demand for photovoltaic power in Japan will remain strong in the future. Meanwhile, Japan is actively exploring new PV business models, such as developing a business model for residential PV operated by power companies, introducing PV systems for scenarios such as factories/car sheds/logistics facilities, and the RE100 program also promotes enterprises to actively install PV to achieve low-carbonization. The marketization and diversification of Japanese PV market will provide good opportunities and prospects for PV enterprises to explore the Japanese market.

The high-efficiency modules AK iPower, AK iTopper and AK iChaser of the whole series of Akcome high-efficiency photovoltaic modules are brilliant at the exhibition site, attracting numerous industry experts and exhibitors to visit. These three modules adopt HJT, TOPCon and PERC technology routes and innovative manufacturing processes respectively, which bring lower LCOE and higher product value for customers. AK iPower 7.0 series heterojunction high-efficiency module are adopted by 66pieces of 210 mm heterojunction cells and adopts advanced technology without main grid to realize perfect matching of system terminal. The maximum power exceeds 720 W and the conversion efficiency is up to 23.2%. It effectively reduces BOS cost and LCOE, and has better customer value.

Aiming at the distributed market in Japan, Akcome has introduced the high-efficiency TOPCon modules of AK iTopper series in 182-54 version, with power up to 430 W and the conversion efficiency up to 22.0%, which is widely applicable to the rooftop power station in Japan. Light and small, with the unique texture of the all-black modules, it brings industrial aesthetics to customers and is popular with the audience. In addition, Akcome has also exhibited other two TOPCon high-efficiency modules of AK iTopper series, 182-72 dual-glass (570 W) and 182-78 dual-glass (625 W), which can widely match the application requirements of customers in different scenarios.

The 210 W high-efficiency PERC modules of the AK iChaser series are specifically tailored to the Japanese residential market. It adopts 27 pieces of 182 mm high-efficiency PERC cells, which has four characteristics of small size, light weight, high efficiency and high performance. The maximum power generation efficiency of the module reaches 21.7%, and the maximum power generation benefit can be realized within a limited area on the roof. Another high-efficiency PERC module brought by Akcome is a 182-72 version with a power of 560 W, which is suitable for industrial and commercial distributed and household distributed application scenarios.

Akcome is committed to providing customers with one-stop photovoltaic solutions and application services. TheMOUNT·Ground Supporting System Series and ROOF·Roof Supporting System Series can meet the customized application requirements of customers in different scenario. In the Mount series, Akcome displays the mountain supporting system with steel oblique beam impact pile, which is suitable for flat ground or mountain application scenarios, with the advantages of strong stability, convenient installation and strong anti-corrosion performance. In Roof series, Akcome displays the BIPV carport supporting system, with the integrated design of “blocking+defence+guiding”, which brings waterproof advantage of cell structure. In order to effectively cope with extreme weather such as typhoon and snowstorm, Akcome adopts W water channel as the main stress component and fixed design at the bottom of the water channel. The front side of the system can bear 5400 Pa and the back side can bear 2400 Pa of pressure.

Since the opening of the exhibition, the booths of Akcome are popular, and the visitors and merchants who came to visit and consult had been in a continuous stream. Everyone asked the Akcome elite team about product performance, communicated technology development and discussed the future cooperation. After many times of communication and negotiation, Akcome had established a good partnership with a number of Japanese PV enterprises, and had reached an initial intention of cooperation on various projects of solar modules and mounting system. In the future, it will give full play to its advantages in products, technology and services, and explore the cooperation space with overseas customers in the Japanese market.
