Solar panel brand

AIKO

AIKO is a PV cell and module manufacturer founded in 2009. Its UK home-solar range centres on Neostar modules using the company's n-type All Back Contact cell design.

AIKO manufactures PV cells and solar modules. The company was founded in 2009 and introduced its All Back Contact module platform in 2022. Neostar is its UK residential range.

UK presence

AIKO Energy UK Co., Ltd was incorporated on 24 February 2023 and remains active on the Companies House register. AIKO’s own contact page lists a UK operation, although the Reading address still shown there is older than the registered office now recorded by Companies House in Birmingham.

The live MCS Product Directory contains current records for numerous exact AIKO module codes. The manufacturer on those product records is Zhejiang Aiko Solar Technology Co., Ltd. An entry applies to the complete module code, wattage and dimensions shown in the directory, not to every product carrying the Neostar name.

Module range

AIKO’s current English catalogue separates modules by intended setting. Neostar covers residential products, Comet covers commercial and industrial modules and Stellar covers larger utility formats.

Neostar is a broad catalogue rather than one electrical series. The current list includes second-generation 2P and 2S products and third-generation 3P and 3S products. A plus sign identifies a dual-glass version in the current naming, while mono-glass versions use a glass front and backsheet. The catalogue also contains 54, 60 and 78 format designations. Electrical ratings, dimensions and warranty periods cannot safely be transferred between them.

ABC (All Back Contact) places the cell contacts on the rear rather than forming conventional metal lines across the front. Infinite names a group of third-generation cell and module design changes, not a separate Neostar model family. An exact code such as AIKO-A480-MCE54Mb identifies the module.

Warranty and document versions

Warranty terms vary by generation and document. Neostar 2S54 has a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year performance warranty. Neostar 3S54 has 30-year product and performance terms under the April 2026 schedule, while an earlier 3S54 wattage series has a 25-year product term on an older live page. The warranty document supplied for the exact code is therefore part of the product record.
