About This Product

The AIKO 480 Watt 108 Cell NEOSTAR 3S54 Mono-Glass 30mm All Black N-Type BC Solar Panel is a high-efficiency residential and light commercial module built using advanced N-Type back contact (BC) cell technology. By moving all electrical contacts to the rear of the cell, AIKO maximises the active surface area on the front, improving efficiency and delivering a clean, all-black appearance.This 108 half-cell format panel is designed for strong performance in Australian conditions, including high irradiance and elevated temperatures. The mono-glass construction provides durability and long-term reliability, while the 30mm black anodised frame gives a neat finish suited to modern rooftop installations.

Who This Product Suits

This module suits homeowners wanting high output per panel where roof space is limited. Its 480W rating makes it ideal for maximising system capacity on standard residential roofs.It is also well suited to premium home builds where aesthetics matter, thanks to its uniform all-black design with no visible front busbars. Installers looking for strong efficiency, low degradation and reliable long-term performance for grid-connected systems will find this panel a solid option.

Specifications Explained

• 480W rated output – High power rating in a 108 half-cell format, helping reduce total panel count for a given system size.
• N-Type BC cell technology – Back contact design eliminates front busbars, improving light absorption and supporting higher module efficiency.
• High module efficiency – Designed to convert more sunlight into usable DC power compared with conventional P-Type modules.
• Low temperature coefficient – Maintains stronger performance in hot Australian rooftop conditions.
• Low degradation – N-Type cells are resistant to LID and offer strong long-term performance stability.
• Mono-glass construction – Durable front glass with robust frame design for residential rooftop environments.
• All-black finish – Black cells, black backing and black frame for a uniform appearance on the roof.

Summary

The AIKO 480 Watt 108 Cell NEOSTAR 3S54 Mono-Glass 30mm All Black N-Type BC Solar Panel is a high-efficiency, premium residential module built around advanced N-Type back contact technology. It delivers strong output, clean aesthetics and dependable long-term performance in Australian conditions, making it a practical choice for quality rooftop solar installations.
