AIKO POWERS CONSERVATION EFFORTS AT TASMANIA'S RAPTOR REFUGE

Leading solar manufacturer supports wildlife rehabilitation through renewable energy donation

KETTERING, Australia, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AIKO Energy, a leading solar technology manufacturer, has demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship and community welfare in Australia by donating a high efficiency solar system to the Raptor Refuge in Kettering, Tasmania.

The donated system using AIKO Neostar 2P 475W panels is powering the refuge's new treatment facility, the MEDWING, providing clean, reliable off-grid energy to support the rehabilitation of injured birds of prey across Tasmania.

The partnership came about when David Tolliday, senior renewable energy instructor at Holmesglen Institute and owner of SaveEnergySolutions.com.au, approached the Australian solar industry seeking support for this vital conservation project. AIKO responded immediately, recognising the opportunity to combine renewable energy innovation with wildlife conservation.

"It's a beautiful cause, and we're proud to play a small part in helping these magnificent birds recover and return to the wild," said Linh Pham, Marketing Manager, AIKO Energy Australia. "Thanks to our advanced All Back Contact technology, the modules deliver 475W – the highest power available in a residential footprint at the time – which means the refuge can generate maximum clean energy from limited roof space. This high-efficiency solution is perfect for off-grid applications like the MEDWING, ensuring reliable power for critical treatment equipment while supporting Tasmania's precious wildlife."

Craig Webb AOM, from the Raptor Refuge, expressed his gratitude for AIKO's contribution: "We are a not-for-profit organisation, and it is help from companies like AIKO that makes our job of rehabilitating raptors and returning them to the wild so much easier."

The Raptor Refuge Inc. specialises in rescuing and rehabilitating Tasmania's native birds of prey, including Wedge-tailed Eagles and White-bellied Sea Eagles. Operating without government funding, the organisation relies entirely on donations and community support to continue its vital conservation work.

The new solar-powered MEDWING treatment room represents a significant advancement in the refuge's capabilities, ensuring injured raptors receive the care they need in a modern, environmentally sustainable facility.

AIKO POWERS CONSERVATION EFFORTS AT TASMANIA'S RAPTOR REFUGE

GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Guangzhou now stands firmly on the world fragrance map. The Xuelei Fragrance Museum has officially been certified by Guinness World Records as the largest fragrance museum in the world, a milestone that positions this new cultural landmark as a true pilgrimage destination for global fragrance lovers.

Spanning an authenticated 9,500.878 m², the museum redefines what a fragrance space can be. Its architectural concept—part scent laboratory, part cultural sanctuary—fuses contemporary aesthetics with centuries-old Eastern aroma traditions, inviting visitors into a world where perfume becomes both artistry and storytelling.

Inside, the experience deepens through multi-sensory, immersive environments. Visitors journey across 18 thematic zones, interacting with over 300 scent installations, 400 unique fragrances, and a suite of cutting-edge technologies that make the invisible world of scent surprisingly tangible. Among these technologies, the museum's scent-mapping system stands out: with a digital Scent Card, visitors can sample notes across hundreds of scent points and record their emotional reactions—from citrus brightness to floral warmth and woody depth—turning subjective scent perception into a personalized data journey.

The museum's signature highlight is the world's largest AI fragrance-blending installation, an architectural spectacle stretching across five floors. Hundreds of crystal-clear essence vessels hang in a radial constellation around a spiraling staircase, catching and refracting light so that every ascent feels cinematic—almost like walking through a nebula made of scent. More than visual poetry, this installation marks the beginning of the museum's data-driven fragrance experience. At the fourth-floor Time Machine of Scent, AI transforms each visitor's scent-mapping journey into a personalized Fragrance Travel Report—a sensory portrait of their preferences. Then comes the moment many describe as "cyber perfumery magic": on the first floor, the AI-blending station converts this profile into a bespoke perfume in just three minutes, from formula creation to bottling, democratizing an art form once reserved for professionals.

This fusion of cultural heritage, scientific innovation, and experiential art has transformed the Xuelei Fragrance Museum into more than a museum. It is a global stage for fragrance culture, a bridge between East and West, and one of Asia's newest must-visit destinations for travelers seeking creativity, craftsmanship, and sensory discovery.

In an era where cultural confidence and cross-cultural exchange matter more than ever, the museum stands as a powerful example of how China's ancient scent traditions can engage—and inspire—the world.
