Aiko Solar to invest 1.15 billion yuan upgrading Tianjin PERC line to 6GW ABC cells
AI take
Aiko's move to convert PERC capacity to ABC cells signals a strategic pivot toward its proprietary BC platform, prioritizing technology differentiation over legacy product lines. This affects equipment suppliers and competitors in the BC ecosystem, as the emphasis on reusing existing tools may constrain new equipment demand. The open question is whether this upgrade achieves cost-effective scale without disrupting output, and how it influences Aiko's positioning in the advanced cell market.
