Aiko solar panels in South Africa
Aiko pioneered ABC — All Back Contact — cell technology, moving every electrical contact to the rear of the cell. The result: a completely uniform black front surface, no visible gridlines, and some of the highest mass-production efficiencies available today.
Aiko module ranges we supply
Three product families cover residential rooftops through utility-scale arrays. Current generation (3rd-gen) modules add Aiko's "Infinite Technology" for improved micro-crack resistance and higher power density; images and specs below are sourced directly from Aiko's current product catalogue.
| Range | Typical use | Power | Format | Notable feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEOSTAR | Residential rooftop | 430 – 555 W | Mono- or dual-glass, 54/60-cell | All-black ABC aesthetic, Infinite Technology (3rd-gen) |
| COMET | Commercial & industrial | 605 – 690 W | Mono-glass, 72-cell | High return-rate large-format modules |
| STELLAR | Utility-scale | 635 – 800 W | Dual-glass, 66/72/78-cell | Lower LCOE, bifacial-ready dual-glass |
Specifications and images sourced from Aiko Solar's official product catalogue (aikosolar.com/en/products) as of 2026; exact model and wattage availability in South Africa may vary by order size — confirm current datasheets before purchase.
NEOSTAR
430–555W, mono- or dual-glass, 54 or 60-cell formats. The all-black ABC finish and compact footprint make it the default choice for rooftop installs.
COMET
605–690W, 72-cell mono-glass modules built for C&I rooftops and carports where higher wattage per panel reduces install labour.
STELLAR
635–800W, dual-glass bifacial-ready modules aimed at utility and large ground-mount arrays, engineered for the lowest cost per watt generated.
Why installers and homeowners choose ABC cells
- No front-side gridlines. Contacts sit entirely on the rear of the cell, so nothing blocks incoming light on the front — and the panel looks uniformly black.
- Higher active-area ratio. Zero-busbar, zero-cell-spacing design pushes active area to around 97%, squeezing more output from the same roof space.
- Strong low-light performance. N-type cells typically handle overcast and early/late-day light better than older P-type panels — useful across SA's varied climate zones.
- Fire-resistant option. A thermal-shielding variant is available for sites with stricter fire-safety requirements.
Good fit for
- Homeowners who want an all-black, low-visual-impact roof
- Limited roof area needing maximum output per m²
- C&I sites wanting large-format, high-wattage modules
