Aiko Neostar 2S 455W Solar Panel

The Aiko Neostar 2S 455W solar panel is built on Aiko Solar’s proprietary ABC, or all back contact, cell platform, a design that moves every electrical contact to the rear of the cell and leaves the front surface completely free of busbars and grid lines. The Aiko Neostar 2S 455W solar panel is a strong choice for homeowners who want a genuinely seamless, all-black roof appearance rather than the visible metallic grid lines still present on most TOPCon and PERC panels, including many back-contact competitors that retain partial front-side elements.

Prime Solar stocks this panel because it consistently ranks among the top choices for buyers comparing premium aesthetic panels side by side. Customers frequently choose the Aiko Neostar 2S 455W solar panel specifically because the ABC cell architecture removes the largest source of front-side shading loss found in conventional panel designs, translating directly into measurable efficiency gains rather than just a cosmetic upgrade.

Buyers often ask how ABC technology differs from the HPBC and TOPCon back-contact approaches used by other manufacturers. Aiko’s ABC design fully separates the positive and negative contacts on the rear of the cell using a distinct passivation process, which Aiko states reduces recombination losses further than earlier back-contact implementations, contributing to the strong efficiency and low-light performance this panel is known for.

Every unit sold through Prime Solar is sourced through traceable distribution channels with documented batch and serial records, so buyers have proper documentation available if a manufacturer warranty claim is ever needed down the line.

Peak Power Output and Module Efficiency

Peak power output for the Aiko Neostar 2S 455W solar panel is rated at 455 watts under Standard Test Conditions, a strong figure for a panel prioritizing both aesthetic uniformity and performance. This wattage level fits well into mid to large residential arrays where visual consistency across the roof is a key requirement.

Module efficiency reaches approximately 23.6 percent, among the highest available in the premium aesthetic panel category, driven by the ABC cell design’s elimination of front-side shading losses entirely. This efficiency figure allows the panel to compete directly with, and in many cases exceed, standard TOPCon modules on a pure output basis while also delivering a cleaner appearance.

The solar cell type used is N-Type ABC monocrystalline silicon, Aiko’s all back contact implementation built on an N-Type wafer base. This cell type combines the lower degradation characteristics inherent to N-Type technology with a fully rear-mounted contact structure, distinguishing it from partial back-contact designs that still retain some front-side elements.

Certification, Durability, and Inverter Compatibility

Inverter compatibility for this panel is broad, working reliably with string inverters and microinverters from SolarEdge, Enphase, SMA, Fronius, and Growatt. Installers should confirm Voc and Isc ratings against the selected inverter’s input voltage window before finalizing string design, as with any panel installation.

Every unit ships with flash test batch certification, meaning each individual panel is tested at the factory and matched to a batch report confirming actual measured output before leaving the production line. Prime Solar retains copies of these flash test reports for every shipment received, giving buyers documentation to support any future performance or warranty inquiry.

Weather degradation rating on this panel is backed by Aiko’s linear power warranty, guaranteeing strong first-year retention with minimal light-induced degradation and approximately 0.4 percent annual degradation thereafter, resulting in an estimated 87 to 88 percent of rated output retained after 25 years. The frame is built from anodized aluminum alloy rated to withstand snow loads up to 5400 pascals and wind loads up to 2400 pascals, and the junction box and backsheet carry an IP68 weather-seal rating that protects internal wiring from moisture, dust, and corrosion throughout decades of outdoor use.

Shipping, Insurance, and Delivery Protection

Every Aiko Neostar 2S 455W solar panel ships under insured freight delivery, covering the full replacement value of your order against loss or damage while in transit. Carriers are selected specifically for their experience handling palletized solar equipment, since rough handling remains the most common cause of hidden microcracks, and this panel’s back-contact cells warrant the same careful handling as any premium module.

Signature on delivery is required for all panel shipments, creating a clear chain of custody that protects both the buyer and Prime Solar in the event a damage claim needs to be filed. We recommend inspecting the pallet at time of delivery whenever possible rather than accepting an unattended drop-off.

Before shipment, every Aiko Neostar 2S 455W solar panel passes a pre-shipment inspection checklist covering frame integrity, glass condition, junction box seating, and connector fit. Should any panel arrive damaged, our shipping damage claim process requires photos of both packaging and panel taken before unboxing is complete, submitted within 48 hours of delivery, after which we coordinate directly with the freight carrier and manufacturer on replacement or credit.
