Aiko 495W Neostar 3S54 Mono-Glass All Black ABC Solar Panel CEC Approved - AIKO-A495-MCE54Mb

The Aiko Neostar 3S54 495W AIKO-A495-MCE54Mb is the top output panel in the 3S54 range, with a clean all black finish and 24.8% efficiency from a standard 1762 x 1134 mm frame. It suits homes and businesses where the roof is on show and you want the most power from the space you have. Aiko's N-Type back contact cells move all the wiring to the back of the cell, so the front is pure black with no silver lines, and more of the panel's face is catching light. That is how this panel reaches 495W and 24.8% efficiency without getting any bigger than a standard 108 cell module. It is built for partial shade and Australian heat, with three bypass diodes and Aiko's shading optimisation to hold output when part of the panel is covered, and a -0.26% per degree power coefficient for hot days. Aiko backs it with a 25 year product warranty and a 30 year power warranty, rated to still make 88.85% of its original output after 30 years. Clean Energy Council (CEC) Approved Product: What's This? Important Notice Due to the fragile nature and awkward shape of glass-fronted solar panels, freight conditions can vary and will usually ship on pallets. Free delivery applies to a minimum order of 3 panels to Metro Business Addresses with unloading facilities. Residential and remote/regional addresses may incur additional charges, such as trucks using tailgate platforms. Please Contact Us before placing an order to determine the appropriate shipping method to ensure safe delivery. Main Features 495W From a Standard Size Panel: the 1762 x 1134 mm frame is the same footprint as most 108 cell panels, so you get more watts on the same roof space. 24.8% Efficiency: the highest efficiency in the Neostar 3S54 range, so each square metre of roof works harder. Back Contact Cells: all the cell wiring sits on the back, so nothing on the front blocks the sun and the panel has a uniform black look. All Black Finish: black cells, black backsheet and a black anodised aluminium frame give a clean look that suits modern homes. Handles Partial Shade: three bypass diodes and Aiko's partial shading optimisation help the panel keep producing when a chimney, tree or vent shades part of it. Holds Output When It Gets Hot: a -0.26% per degree power coefficient means the panel gives up less output on a hot summer day. Slow Ageing: only a 1% drop in the first year and 0.35% a year after that, so the panel is rated to make 88.85% of its original output at year 30. Built for Rough Weather: rated to 5400 Pa on the front and 2400 Pa on the back, and tested against 40 mm hail at 27.5 metres per second. Quality Connectors: genuine Staubli PV-KST4-EVO 2A/6I and PV-KBT4-EVO 2A/6I connectors on 1200 mm leads. Positive Power Tolerance: every panel is binned at 0 to +3%, so you never get less than the 495W on the label at standard test conditions. CEC Approved for Rebates: listed on the Clean Energy Council approved modules register, so the panel is eligible for STC rebates on an accredited install. What This Solves Limited Roof Space: more watts from each panel gets you closer to the system size you want on a smaller roof. Panels That Spoil the Look: the all black, no-line front sits neatly on dark roofs and street facing sides. Shade on Part of the Roof: the shading optimisation limits how much a shadow drags down output. Hot Weather Losses: better heat performance means you keep more of your power when the air conditioner is running hardest. Rebate Eligibility: CEC approval is current and checked, so there are no surprises at claim time.
