AIKO 485W Neostar 3P+ N-Type Dual-Glass ABC Black Frame MC4 Gen 3 Solar Panels
- 485W rated output and 24.3% module efficiency for rooftop projects where available space matters.
- Gen 3 N-type ABC cells with dual-glass construction, a black frame and original MC4-EVO2A connectors.
- 30-year linear performance warranty, with a 15-year product warranty extendable to 25 years subject to applicable conditions.
AIKO 485W Neostar 3P+ Gen 3 dual-glass solar panel
The AIKO 485W Neostar 3P+ Gen 3 solar panel combines N-type All Back Contact (ABC) technology with 24.3% module efficiency in a 1762 × 1134mm format. The AIKO-A485-MCE54Dw uses 2mm coated semi-tempered glass on both sides and a black anodised aluminium frame. It is an option for professionally designed residential, commercial and industrial solar PV systems.
Key features
- 485W rated output under standard test conditions, with 24.3% module efficiency and a positive power tolerance of 0 to +3%.
- N-type ABC technology with AIKO’s stated partial-shading optimisation and micro-crack resistance features.
- Dual-glass construction with 2.0mm glass on each side, a 30mm black frame and original MC4-EVO2A connectors.
- Power temperature coefficient of −0.26%/°C, with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
- 30-year linear performance warranty showing 88.85% retained rated output at year 30, subject to AIKO’s applicable warranty terms.
Where to use
Suitable for residential roofs, offices, warehouses, logistics facilities, agricultural buildings and other commercial rooftops where the module dimensions and electrical characteristics suit the system design. It can also be considered for solar carports and ground-mounted arrays with appropriate mounting and structural checks.
Use mounting equipment compatible with the 30mm frame and AIKO’s approved fixing positions. Check inverter input-current limits, string voltage at the site’s minimum design temperature and connector compatibility. Dual glass does not, by itself, establish bifacial generation, and partial-shading optimisation does not remove the need to minimise shading.
Energian can help with panel quantities, mounting compatibility, inverter string design, DC protection and complete solar PV system planning. This panel requires installation as part of a solar PV system; installation can be arranged through trusted partners.
