AIKO 450W Neostar 2S N-Type Mono-Glass ABC 54 Cell All Black MC4 Gen 2 Solar Panel
The AIKO 450W Neostar 2S is a high-efficiency all-black solar panel designed for residential, commercial, farm, garden office and off-grid installations. It uses AIKO’s N-Type ABC back contact cell technology to deliver strong output from a compact 1757 × 1134mm module, with a clean black appearance and no visible front-side busbars.
This 450W mono-glass module is well suited to projects where roof space, appearance and long-term performance matter. The black anodised aluminium frame gives the panel a neat finish, while the 3.2mm tempered front glass, IP68 junction box and robust mechanical load rating make it suitable for demanding outdoor installations.
Key Features
- 450W rated output with 22.6% module efficiency
- N-Type ABC cell technology with no front-side metal grid for improved light capture and a clean all-black appearance
- Cell-level partial shading optimisation to help reduce losses from localised shading
- Low temperature coefficient of Pmax: -0.26%/°C for better performance in warmer conditions
- High temperature restriction for improved operating safety
- Micro-crack resistance for improved long-term reliability
- Original MC4 connectors with 4mm² solar cable, approximately 1200mm long
- 25-year product warranty and 30-year linear performance warranty
- Maximum system voltage: DC 1500V
- Maximum static loading: 5400Pa front and 2400Pa rear
Product Overview
The AIKO Neostar 2S 450W panel uses N-Type ABC cells arranged in a 108-cell layout. ABC, or All Back Contact, places the electrical contacts on the rear of the cell, leaving the front surface free to absorb more light. This improves efficiency and gives the panel a more uniform, premium black finish compared with conventional modules.
The panel has a rated power output of 450W under standard test conditions, with a positive power tolerance of 0 to +3%. It is designed for reliable long-term output, with first-year degradation of no more than 1% and annual degradation from year 2 to year 30 of no more than 0.35%.
For installations where shading may be an issue, AIKO’s partial shading optimisation helps improve real-world generation when part of the panel is affected by shade from nearby objects, roof details, trees or other obstructions.
