Aiko ABC reconstructs the value of industrial and commercial roofs
Lighting the Way to the World’s Roof: Aiko ABC Super Charging Station at Mount Everest
At the foot of the majestic Mount Qomolangma (Mount Everest), in the heart of the world’s highest peak region, a groundbreaking renewable energy project now stands tall. Located at the entrance of the Zhufeng National Park in China, at an astonishing altitude of 4,300 meters above sea level, the Aiko ABC Super Charging Station has begun stable operations, marking a remarkable achievement in the integration of solar power, energy storage, and electric vehicle (EV) charging in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
This installation is more than just another EV charging station—it is the highest-altitude integrated solar-storage-charging supercharging station in the world. Built to serve both adventurers aiming to conquer the roof of the world and the growing number of EV drivers in remote areas, it provides a vital and reliable source of clean energy in a location where infrastructure development faces immense natural and logistical challenges.
Operating in such a location comes with a list of world-class environmental tests: thin air, extreme cold, powerful winds, and heavy snow. The high-altitude conditions can be punishing for both humans and technology, requiring equipment that can withstand intense ultraviolet radiation, large temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress from wind and snow loads. Yet, the Aiko ABC modules used here are designed exactly for such extreme scenarios.
Equipped with copper interconnection technology, the Aiko ABC modules deliver exceptional hidden crack resistance and structural strength. These attributes ensure that even under the harshest weather conditions, from sub-zero blizzards to relentless high-altitude sunlight, the modules can operate reliably without performance degradation. Their outstanding durability allows them to resist long-term environmental wear, while their high efficiency and ultra-low attenuation characteristics make them ideally suited for maximizing clean energy output where every watt matters.
The technical performance is equally impressive. The system delivers an average annual output of 23.68 MWh of clean electricity, enough to power not only the charging needs of travelers but also to significantly contribute to the environmental sustainability of the region. For EV drivers tackling the “one-second-one-kilometer” thrill of high-speed driving in this extreme terrain, the station becomes a dependable lifeline.
More than just a functional installation, the Aiko ABC Super Charging Station represents a symbol of technological resilience and environmental responsibility. It turns a place once seen as inhospitable to modern infrastructure into a showcase for the future of green mobility and distributed renewable energy systems. By integrating energy generation, storage, and ultra-fast charging into one compact and high-performance facility, Aiko has demonstrated that even the world’s most challenging locations can become hubs of clean energy innovation.
The project also underscores a broader vision—one where renewable energy technologies are not confined to urban rooftops or sunny plains but are deployed wherever they are needed, regardless of altitude, climate, or accessibility. In doing so, Aiko is expanding the boundaries of solar power’s potential applications and setting a precedent for sustainable infrastructure in extreme environments.
Looking forward, the success of the Zhufeng Aiko ABC Super Charging Station may inspire similar projects in other remote and high-altitude regions across the globe. As electric vehicles continue their rapid global adoption, the need for reliable charging infrastructure in all terrains will only grow. This pioneering station proves that with the right combination of advanced engineering, innovative design, and environmental adaptability, clean energy can truly reach the ends of the Earth—and even the very roof of the world.
