en.Wedoany.com Reported - Clean energy technology company AIKO has signed an agreement with Infinity Power to supply solar modules for the 259 MW Nefer Benban solar project in Egypt. Located within the Benban Solar Park in Aswan Governorate, the project will combine 259 MW of photovoltaic capacity with 120 MWh of battery energy storage. Infinity Power plans to connect the plant to the grid by the fourth quarter of 2026.
The Nefer Benban solar project is designed to power approximately 311,000 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 349,000 tons annually. The modules, based on AIKO's All Back Contact technology, are scheduled for delivery within one month of the agreement signing. The modules are designed for reliable operation under local conditions, where the average temperature is 34°C and annual solar irradiation is 1,620 kWh/m².
Technical specifications provided by AIKO indicate module efficiency reaches 24.2%, with peak power ranging between 650 Wp and 655 Wp. The module dimensions are 2382×1134×30 mm, which is expected to reduce balance-of-system costs per watt and increase energy generation without requiring additional land or mounting structures. AIKO reports a first-year degradation rate of no more than 1%, with an annual degradation rate of 0.35% from year two to year 30. The product comes with a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year power warranty, with an estimated annual energy generation of 471.6 GWh and a lifetime revenue of $566 million.
Infinity Power stated that the Nefer Benban project aligns with its strategy to achieve 10 GW of installed renewable energy capacity in Africa by 2032. Omar Magdy, Senior Procurement Manager at Infinity Power, said: "We selected AIKO modules for their high efficiency, long-term reliable quality, fast delivery, and robust design incorporating the latest technology. The high-efficiency performance of AIKO's advanced modules, combined with a high-density installation strategy, maximizes power generation per square meter of land, delivering exceptional value to the project." The Nefer Benban solar project is part of Egypt's national energy strategy and is expected to contribute to the country's clean electricity targets and energy security.
