Aiko
Solar Panels

World-leading efficiency with advanced All Back Contact (ABC)
technology and reliable local support in Australia.

Overview

At AAA Electrical & Solar, we recommend Aiko Solar panels for homeowners who want cutting-edge efficiency and top-tier performance.

Since their Australian launch in 2024, Aiko has quickly established itself as a premium choice for residential and commercial installations. Their ABC (All Back Contact) technology allows them to achieve world-record efficiencies for mass-produced panels, reaching up to 25.2% in the latest Neostar series.

About Aiko Solar

Founded in 2009, Shanghai Aiko Solar Energy Co. Ltd spent over a decade producing high-quality solar cells for other brands before launching their own panels. Today, Aiko panels combine advanced technology, durability, and sleek aesthetics.

Locally, Aiko maintains an office in Melbourne to provide warranty support and ensure compliance with Australian Consumer Law, giving our customers peace of mind.

Technology & Performance

Aiko’s panels feature advanced All Back Contact (ABC) cells, moving all electrical contacts to the rear for a clean, all-black appearance and improved performance. Key benefits for Australian homes:

Elite Efficiency

Neostar residential panels reach up to 25.2% efficiency, making them ideal for homes with limited roof space.

Heat-Tolerant Performance

A temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C means Aiko panels maintain more power on Australia’s hot summer days.

Partial Shade Optimisation

Their Controlled Avalanche technology improves performance in minor shading situations, providing modest but measurable gains over standard panels.

Durable & Hail-Resistant

Certified for 40mm hail at 27.5 m/s, with improved micro-crack resistance due to the back-contact design.

Coastal-Ready Options

Dual-Glass (2S+) variants provide enhanced resistance to salt mist for beachfront installations.

Product Lineup

Series Primary Use Max Efficiency Warranty (Product / Performance)
Neostar (2S/3S) Residential Up to 25.2% 25 Years / 30 Years
Comet (2N/3N) Commercial Up to 254.8% 15 Years / 30 Years

The Neostar 3S is our flagship residential panel, producing nearly 500W in a standard footprint – perfect for maximizing output on small or complex roofs.

Pros and Cons of Aiko Solar Panels

Pros

Industry-Leading Warranty

25-year product and 30-year performance warranties for Neostar panels provide long-term peace of mind.

Top Heat Tolerance

Panels maintain more energy output in high-temperature conditions than most other brands.

Installer-Trusted

Winner of the 2025 SolarQuotes Installers’ Choice Award, proving that industry professionals trust their quality.

Cons

Premium Price Point

Aiko panels cost more than value brands like Jinko or Trina, although prices have become more competitive with scaling production.

Shade Performance Limitations

While Controlled Avalanche technology helps under minor shading, it’s not a complete fix for heavily shaded areas.

Coastal Install Notes:

For homes within 500m of the ocean, we recommend Dual-Glass (2S+) panels for improved salt-mist resistance, as suggested in Aiko’s manual.
