AIKO Neostar 3P+ 490W N-Type ABC Dual-Glass Solar Panel – Gen 3

The AIKO Neostar 3P+ 490W is a third-generation, ultra-high-efficiency solar panel designed for premium residential rooftop installations where maximum output and refined aesthetics are essential. Built on AIKO’s advanced N-Type ABC (All Back Contact) cell technology, this 54-cell dual-glass module achieves an outstanding 24.5% efficiency, placing it among the most efficient panels available on the market.

Its black-frame, busbar-free design delivers a clean architectural finish while maximising the active light-absorbing surface of each cell for superior real-world performance.

Advanced ABC Cell Technology

AIKO’s All Back Contact technology relocates all electrical contacts to the rear of the cell, eliminating front-side shading losses and improving current flow. This results in higher efficiency, improved low-light response, and enhanced reliability over the system lifetime.

Key technology benefits include:

• Increased active cell area for higher energy yield

• Reduced resistive losses for improved efficiency

• Cell-level partial shading optimisation (unique in the industry)

• Clean, uniform appearance with no visible busbars

Third-Generation Performance & Reliability

The Neostar 3P+ Gen 3 range introduces further refinements over previous generations, delivering higher output, improved safety and long-term durability.

Performance and reliability enhancements include:

• 490W peak power output

• 24.5% module efficiency (up to 24.8% across the 465–495W range)

• Improved temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, tested by CEA PV Tech

• High-temperature limitation for enhanced fire safety

• Excellent resistance to micro-cracks for long-term mechanical stability

Electrical Performance

• Peak Power: 490W

• Module Efficiency: 24.5%

• Maximum System Voltage: 1500V DC

These characteristics ensure excellent compatibility with modern high-voltage inverters and optimisers while maximising power density on limited roof space.

Mechanical Design & Installation

• Dimensions: 1762 × 1134 mm

• Cell Configuration: 54-cell, N-Type ABC

• Construction: Dual-glass

• Frame: Black aluminium frame

• Cable Length: 1.2 m
