Companies like Aiko invest in superior global research and development, which is reflected in a small premium at the system level compared to mainstream technologies. The alternative is waiting 12 or 24 months when the rest of the market catches up.

Why do 'specific' awards matter?

A module-specific award is a testament to superior innovation that adds value to the collective industry. The annual Intersolar Award is held in Munich, Germany, and is the solar module industry’s most coveted product award ceremony. Meanwhile, a Reddot Design Award provides broader acknowledgments for superior design.

There are many well-marketed module maker ‘brand’ awards. Module ‘specific’ awards from reputable product analysis firms are rare. Hone in on any product that wins an Intersolar Award as something very innovative is unfolding.
