Back Contact (BC) technology has an undeniable advantage over others in the rooftop segment of solar modules, given its record-high efficiencies combined with superior aesthetics. This technology houses the contacts of both polarities on the rear side of the cell, giving it a unique black appearance on the front. Optimized BOM, such as black polymer rear cover and black frame, adds to its pleasing appearance – a trait that enables it to be seamlessly integrated into German roofs. Indeed, BC has quickly established itself as an ideal choice for the premium rooftop system.
AIKO has been pioneering BC technology in Germany, setting a trend for others to follow. This has resulted in rapid developments in several areas – performance, manufacturability, and costs – and has further strengthened BC’s adoption in rooftop applications.
AIKO will be hosting a first 1-day event in Munich on November 13, 2025, for installers and EPCs to provide the latest updates on BC technology for rooftops. The event will be in German.
This is an invitation-only event. Please register if you are interested in joining this event, and we will contact you. Thank you.
