Aiko Monocrystalline N-Type ABC – Neostar Gen 3
Model: AIKO-A495-MCE54Mb
New for Summer 2025: The third generation of AIKO modules offers even higher efficiency, a larger energy-generating surface, and a power increase of 15–20 kW compared to Gen2 modules!
Thanks to Precision Overlap Soldering, gaps between cells have been eliminated. Combined with hidden busbars, Gen3 modules not only feature a sleek, true-black appearance but also a larger active surface area.
Technical Specifications
Key Features
Almost any modern string inverter will run it - what matters is the string design. Check the panel's Voc and Isc in the Technical Specifications against your inverter's MPPT voltage window and maximum input current, or send us your inverter model and we'll size it for you.
Divide your inverter's maximum input voltage by the panel's open-circuit voltage (Voc), then leave headroom - Voc rises as temperature falls, so size for the coldest morning rather than the average day.
Panels ship with their factory leads fitted; the connector type and cable length are both listed in the Technical Specifications. Extension leads and additional connectors are ordered separately.
Bypass diodes limit the loss to the affected section rather than the whole panel. Where shading is persistent, panel-level optimisers or micro-inverters recover considerably more yield - ask us and we'll spec it.
The product and performance warranties are listed under the Warranty tab in Technical Specifications, and the manufacturer's full terms are in the Documents section.
Yes. Pallet quantities are available on stocked lines and work out cheaper per panel - contact us with your requirements for a project quote.
