Molital Abrasivi, a leading manufacturer based in La Morra, Italy, has taken a significant step in optimizing its energy infrastructure by revamping its rooftop solar installation. With a strong commitment to quality and operational excellence, the company sought a solution that could maximize energy output, enhance reliability, and reduce installation area. Partnering with distributor Wattkraft and installer AlbaSolar, Molital selected AIKO’s N-Type ABC modules, leveraging their advanced efficiency to upgrade its 426.87 kWp solar system.
Originally installed in 2011, Molital’s existing 422.71 kWp PV system had suffered a 63% decline in performance, significantly impacting energy output. To restore efficiency and reduce production losses, the company sought a high-performance solution that could maximize energy generation within the existing infrastructure. By switching to 918 AIKO 465W N-Type ABC modules, Molital was able to:
- Increase system capacity by 1%, from 422.71 kWp to 426.87 kWp
- Reduce the covered area by 40%, from 3,150m² to 1,884m²
This significant space optimization allows the company to make better use of its rooftop for future expansion while ensuring higher energy generation per square meter.
Molital CEO Carlo Sacchetto commented: “Our company’s quality policy is centred on continuous improvement. The existing system’s efficiency losses led us to seek a revamping solution that maximized performance within the available space. AIKO’s modules impressed us with their exceptional efficiency in standard dimensions, their reliability under partial shading conditions, and their low temperature coefficient, ensuring stable energy output.”
Marco Lucibello, Customer Service Manager at AlbaSolar, added: “After careful analysis, we identified AIKO’s N-Type ABC modules as a clear technological advancement over other options on the market. They not only deliver higher power output in a compact footprint but also offer long-term performance stability—critical for ensuring the success of this revamping project.”
