AIKO Solar N-Type ABC Double-Glass – Z-Series G4 500W

500 Wp in a residential format – a first. With the AIKO Z G4 (AIKO-A500-MCE54Db), Aiko has become the first manufacturer to break the 500-watt mark with a classic 54-cell residential module in the 1762 × 1134 mm format. On the same roof area as a 470 W or 480 W module, 500 Wp at 25.0% efficiency is now available – a new level of performance for domestic solar installations.

This is made possible by Aiko’s fourth-generation All-Back-Contact (ABC) technology: all contacts are located on the rear of the cell, whilst the front remains free of busbars and delivers maximum yield with a classic full-black appearance. Added to this are the new benchmarks in the segment: a 40-year product warranty and a 40-year linear performance warranty.

This makes the module not only perfect for discerning households or small roofs, but also takes the cost-effectiveness of residential systems to a new level.
