[SMM PV News] AIKO ABC Modules Officially Delivered to Jingneng Kubuqi Desert Phase I 240MW Project

Published: Aug 11, 2026 17:49

Recently, the first fleet of vehicles loaded with AIKO ABC high-efficiency modules successfully arrived at the Kubuqi Desert base in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, marking the official start of delivery for the first phase of the Jingneng Kubuqi "desert-Gobi-wasteland" large base, a 240 MW ABC PV project. As an important part of the cluster of national desert-Gobi-wasteland clean energy bases in Inner Mongolia, this project is not only a crucial move by Jingneng Group to implement the national large base strategy for new energy, but also another demonstration of AIKO ABC high-efficiency modules supporting the construction of "desert-Gobi-wasteland" large bases with their robust product capabilities under extreme climate conditions.

The Kubuqi Desert features high surface reflectivity, large day-night temperature differences, and frequent sandstorms, posing rigorous challenges to the long-term operational reliability and power generation stability of PV modules. As the sole winning bidder, AIKO supplies all 240 MW of ABC bifacial double-glass modules for this project. Leveraging high conversion efficiency, high bifaciality, and excellent low-irradiance performance, AIKO ABC modules can fully harness the reflection gains from the desert surface, boosting power generation capacity per unit area. According to estimates, the project is expected to achieve an average annual equivalent utilization of 1,612.63 hours over its 25-year operational period. Compared with conventional modules, it can save more than 6% land area, reduce BOS costs, and achieve the optimal levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for the project.

Jordan's Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission has issued the first 200 approvals for renewable energy installations and grid connection under the country's amended Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law, covering residential and military applicants as a nationwide backlog review begins. The revised framework offers net-value, zero-export and full-export connection models and provides a regulatory basis for customers to add battery storage alongside generation. Jordan's cumulative solar capacity stood at 2,195 MW at the end of 2025.

US solar cell maker Suniva has completed an USD 835 million debt and equity financing round to fund construction of its second monocrystalline silicon cell plant in Laurens County, South Carolina. The 4.5 GW facility represents an investment of about USD 600 million and is expected online in late 2027 with full ramp in 2028, lifting Suniva's total US cell capacity to 5.5 GW including its existing 1 GW Norcross, Georgia line. Most of the planned output is covered by long-term offtake agreements, and the project is expected to create about 564 advanced manufacturing jobs.
