AIKO 470W Neostar 2P N-Type Mono-Glass ABC Black Frame Solar Panel

The AIKO Neostar 2P 470 W is an N-Type ABC (All Back Contact) solar panel. AIKO's All-Back-Contact cell design moves every busbar to the rear of the cell, leaving the entire front face free to collect light. It delivers 23.6 % module efficiency from a 1,757 × 1,134 mm frame.

About the AIKO Neostar 2P range

Neostar is AIKO's residential and light-commercial range, built around the same ABC cell in a smaller format with a black frame, so it suits domestic roofs where appearance matters as much as yield.

At 1,757 × 1,134 mm it is a residential-format module, sized to fit the rafter spans and roof planes of a standard UK house. The black frame and dark cells keep the array visually quiet on a front-facing roof.

Why installers specify this panel

• −0.26 %/°C power temperature coefficient — the array keeps more of its rated output on hot days, when a UK roof can sit far above the 25 °C the nameplate figure is measured at.
• Cell-level shade optimisation — the ABC cell structure recovers output around chimneys, vents and pole shadows without adding a separate optimiser to every module.
• Hail tested to 40 mm at 23 m/s — relevant for exposed and upland UK sites.
• All-black appearance — a black anodised frame and dark cells, for domestic roofs where the array has to be discreet.
• Long-dated warranty — 30-year linear performance warranty; first-year degradation ≤1 %, ≤0.35 % per year from year 2 to 30.
• 0 to +3 % power tolerance — every module is sorted to meet or beat its 470 W nameplate rating.

Array sizing

Each panel covers 1.99 m². A 4 kWp array needs 9 of them (4.23 kWp over about 18 m²). A 6 kWp array needs 13 of them (6.11 kWp over about 26 m²). Each module weighs 20.6 kg.

About AIKO

AIKO Solar builds every module in its range on ABC (All Back Contact) cells, a structure it developed to move the cell's contacts out of the light path entirely. The design has taken an Intersolar Award and a Red Dot design award, and it is what puts AIKO modules at the top of the mainstream efficiency tables.
