AIKO Solar N-Type ABC Double-Glass – Neostar 2P+48 490W

AIKO Solar is a Chinese manufacturer that has been a leader in solar cell production for many years. AIKO Solar invests a great deal of energy in its own research and has thus developed an innovative cell technology. Using All-Back-Contact (ABC) technology, the company is bringing its own solar panels to market. The Neostar 2P+48 impresses with a top efficiency of 24.5% at 490 Wp – the successor to the tried-and-tested Neostar 3P+ AIKO-A490-MCE54Dw. It also boasts a very attractive all-black design, with no contacts on the front of the cells.

With 96 half-cells in a compact 48-cell format (1762 × 1134 mm), the Neostar 2P+48 is the right choice for discerning households and smaller roofs, where maximum output per square metre is key.
