Solar panels Aiko Choose Aiko if you want the most power from a small or hot roof, and an all-black look.

Is Aiko right for you?

What it does well

  • Up to 25% efficiency, the highest in our panel range, so more kilowatts fit on the same roof.
  • Loses only 0.26% output per degree of heat, which counts on a Townsville roof in summer.
  • No front busbars, and every Neostar Gen 3 size comes in an all-black version.

Trade-offs to know

  • A newer brand in Australia (launched here in 2024), so the local track record is short.
  • Costs more than other good panels, and frames within 500 m of the sea need anti-corrosion treatment.

Aiko solar panels Townsville — the detail

01

Why Aiko panels make sense on a Townsville roof

Aiko's Neostar panels use all-back-contact (ABC) cells, which move the wiring to the back of the cell. More of the front catches light, so the panel makes more power from the same area: up to 25% efficiency, the highest of any panel we fit. On a roof broken up by hips, valleys and vents, that can mean an extra panel or two of capacity.

They also handle heat well. Output drops 0.26% for every degree above 25°C, and Townsville roofs run hot for most of the year, so less of your generation is lost on the days you're running air-con the hardest.

02

All-black, with nothing on the front

With no busbars on the front, Aiko panels look clean from the street. Every Neostar Gen 3 size comes in an all-black version (the "S" models), with a black frame and black backsheet. If the look of the roof matters to you, these are the panels to ask for.

03

Warranty and the fine print

Neostar panels carry a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year performance warranty: no more than 1% loss in year one, then 0.35% a year, leaving at least 88.85% of the original output at year 30. Aiko launched in Australia in 2024, so the local track record is shorter than the older brands. Frames within 500 m of the sea need an anti-corrosion treatment, which we check before quoting a beachside home.

Good to know

Solar & electrical questions, answered straight

No jargon, no sales spin — just honest answers from a local Townsville team.

Are your solar installers certified, and do you use cyclone-rated gear in Townsville?

Yes. Our technicians are fully licensed electrical contractors accredited through Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA). Because Townsville sits in a designated cyclone zone, we only fit heavy-duty, tier-one panels on robust, cyclone-rated mounting frameworks engineered to handle severe coastal storms and high wind loads.

How much can I realistically save by switching to solar in North Queensland?

With Townsville getting 300+ days of sun a year, a properly sized system delivers immediate returns. Your exact saving depends on your daily usage and how much runs during daylight (air con, pool pumps and the like). We run a quick energy audit and design a system that maximises your return — most homes see a meaningful drop on the very next bill.

Is it worth adding a solar battery to my home?

A battery lets you store the cheap daytime power your panels make instead of exporting it for a small feed-in rate, then use it through the night to slash your grid reliance. Our smart hybrid packages also give you blackout backup — keeping lights, fridge and essentials running through storm season.

What's a Level 2 EV charger and why install one at home?

Charging from a normal 10A wall socket is slow and stresses old wiring. A dedicated Level 2 wall charger cuts charge times dramatically and adds smart safety monitoring. We can also sync it with your solar so your car charges on free, excess rooftop power during the day.
