Aiko Solar Panels Perth
Home > Solar Panels Perth > Aiko Solar Panels
Aiko Solar is the panel Perth homeowners keep asking John about — the all-black module with no busbars on the front. That isn’t styling. It’s ABC (All Back Contact) cell design, where every electrical contact sits on the rear of the cell instead of shading the front, and it’s why Aiko currently tops the residential efficiency tables.
Aiko has manufactured solar cells since 2009 and is one of the largest cell suppliers in the world. Since launching its own ABC modules it has become one of the fastest-growing premium brands in Australia — and one of the solar panels Perth customers most often compare against REC on residential solar Perth quotes.
Neostar Series — Residential
Aiko’s residential platform, and the range John specifies for Perth homes where roof space is limited or partly shaded. ABC cells push module efficiency past 23%, and because the contact grid sits behind the cell, a shaded panel keeps producing instead of dropping out — the biggest practical advantage of this technology.
Aiko Neostar 3S+ 500W
Output: 470W – 500W
The highest-output residential panel Aiko makes. Worth specifying when you want maximum generation from a small roof, or when you’re sizing a system around a battery.
- Up to 24.2% module efficiency
- ABC cells — no front-side shading loss
- –0.26%/°C temperature coefficient
- 25-year product, 30-year output warranty
| Power range | 470W – 500W |
|---|---|

Aiko Neostar 2S+ 460W

Black Hole & Comet Series
Two specialist options either side of the mainstream range: a full-black module for street-facing roofs where the array’s appearance matters, and the larger Comet format for commercial rooftops and ground mount. Same ABC cell platform in both.
Aiko Neostar 2S Black Hole
Output: 430W – 460W
Black cells, black backsheet, black frame, no visible grid lines. The panel to choose when the array sits on the front of the house — you give up very little output for the look.
- Uniform all-black appearance
- Up to 23.2% module efficiency
- Suits heritage and design-sensitive homes
- 25-year product warranty
| Power range | 430W – 460W |
|---|---|
| Module efficiency | up to 23.2% |
| Cell type | ABC N-type |
| Best use | Street-facing residential roofs |

Aiko Comet 2N 620W
Output: 580W – 620W
The commercial format. Fewer modules, fewer rails and fewer connections for the same system size, which brings down install cost on a large Perth warehouse or factory roof.
- Up to 620W per module
- Maximises limited commercial roof area
- Lower balance-of-system cost per kW
- Suits factories and agricultural sites
| Power range | 580W – 620W |
|---|---|
| Cell type | ABC N-type |
| Best use | Commercial & industrial roofs |
| Product warranty | 25 years |

Frequently Asked Questions — Aiko Solar Panels Perth
The questions Perth homeowners most commonly ask us about Aiko. If yours isn’t here, call John on 1300 646 419.
Yes. Aiko has manufactured solar cells since 2009 and is one of the largest cell suppliers in the world — for years it supplied cells that other well-known brands sold under their own name. Its ABC modules currently lead the residential efficiency tables and carry a 25-year product warranty.
All Back Contact. On a conventional panel the metal busbars run across the front of the cell and shade part of it. On an ABC cell every contact sits on the rear, so the whole front surface collects light. That is where the extra efficiency comes from — and why the panel looks plain black.
Noticeably, yes. ABC cells handle partial shading far better than standard modules — a shaded panel keeps generating rather than dropping most of its output. If you have a chimney, a gable or a neighbour’s tree throwing shade across part of the roof, this is the strongest reason to consider Aiko.
Well. A –0.26%/°C temperature coefficient means output falls less on a 40°C day than a cheaper panel rated at –0.35%. Across Perth’s long summers that difference compounds into meaningful extra generation each year.
Aiko sits in the premium bracket — above Trina and Jinko, around REC. As a guide, a 6.6kW Aiko Neostar system installed by Easy Solar typically ranges from $6,200–$8,000 after the STC rebate, depending on roof complexity and inverter choice. Call John on 1300 646 419 for an exact figure.
If your roof is clear and north-facing, Trina gives you most of the performance for less money. If roof space is tight, partly shaded, or you want the best-looking array and the longest product warranty, Aiko is worth the premium.
Yes. Aiko supplies through established Australian distributors, and Easy Solar lodges any claim on your behalf — you call John on 1300 646 419, not a manufacturer hotline.
