Selected for the TIPS Commercialization Programme
ACE Inventor was selected for the TIPS commercialization programme in September 2024, worth 75 million won over a period running to August 2025 and directed at turning research results into something that can be sold.
The outstanding question was specification. Prototypes existed, but until the company settled on dimensions and output bands it could neither begin certification testing nor put a proposal in front of a customer.
Two lines were fixed with the funding. The glass-based G2G BIPV module was aimed at architectural cladding; the FRP ultra-lightweight module at ageing roofs with little load to spare.
The G2G product among them became the subject of KS C 8577 certification in 2026, under the model designation ALC-GG-180S.
ACE Inventor Inc., founded in November 2022, develops ultra-lightweight building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules. Its core technologies are a water-based hydrogel electrolyte membrane, electrophoretic large-area flexible electrode coating, and ultra-lightweight curved module design using FRP and ETFE composites. The company operates a 50 MW annual production line in Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, and holds KS C 8577 BIPV module certification together with ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. Its patent portfolio includes seven registered Korean patents and one registered US patent, with 23 applications filed in Korea and abroad. Contact info@aceivt.com · www.aceivt.com
