About This Product

The AIKO 485 Watt 108 Cell NEOSTAR 3S54 Mono-Glass 30mm All Black N-Type BC Solar Panel is a high-output all-black solar panel from AIKO’s NEOSTAR 3S54 range. It uses N-Type ABC back contact cell technology, which moves the front-side busbars away from the visible cell face to improve appearance and support strong module efficiency.

This model is rated at 485W under standard test conditions and is built as a mono-glass module with a black anodised aluminium frame and high weather-resistant backsheet. It is designed for residential and commercial solar installations where panel efficiency, roof presentation and long-term output are important.

Who This Product Suits

This panel suits customers wanting a clean all-black solar array with strong output per panel. It is a good fit for modern homes, visible roof faces, premium residential systems and commercial roofs where a neat panel appearance is preferred.

It also suits installers looking for an N-Type back contact module with a 108-cell layout, IP68 junction box, three bypass diodes and a high maximum system voltage for flexible system design. As always, final suitability depends on the inverter, string design, roof layout and local installation requirements.

Specifications Explained

The 485W rating is the panel’s nominal output under standard test conditions. The module efficiency is listed at 24.3%, which helps generate more power from a given roof area compared with lower-efficiency panels.

The N-Type ABC cell design is AIKO’s back contact technology. By placing the electrical contacts on the rear of the cell, the panel has a cleaner front appearance and reduced front-side shading from cell connections.

The panel uses 108 cells in a 6 by 18 layout. Electrical data for this 485W model includes open-circuit voltage of 41.00V, maximum power voltage of 34.60V, short-circuit current of 14.84A and maximum power current of 14.02A. It has a temperature coefficient of Pmax of -0.26% per degree Celsius, which means output reduces less in hot conditions than many older panel designs.

Other listed technical features include IP68 junction box protection, three bypass diodes, Original MC4-EVO2A connectors, 0 to +3% positive power tolerance, Class II protection, a 25A maximum series fuse rating and DC1500V maximum system voltage.

Summary

The AIKO 485W NEOSTAR 3S54 All Black panel is a premium N-Type back contact solar module for installations where efficiency and appearance both matter. It offers 485W output, 24.3% module efficiency, all-black styling and technical features suitable for modern residential and commercial solar systems.

For best results, it should be matched with the correct inverter, mounting system and string design by a qualified solar installer.
