Benefits of the Solar Panel Aiko Neostar 545W

The serie Neostar 3P + 60 of AIKO it represents one of the most relevant technological jumps of the current photovoltaic market. While most of the solar panels of mid-range continue to be based on percept or topcon cells with metal contacts on the front face, the model AIKO-A545-Mce60dw moved all electrical contacts to the back of the cell. The result is a completely free bus surface of Busbars that captures more light for every square centimeter and allows you to reach a efficiency of 24.6%, a figure that until recently only looked at premium range modules well above this price range.

More power on less surface

With 545 W in just 2,22 m² of surface, this module offers a power density most higher than that of a conventional panel of 108 or 144 cells. In residential roofs with limited space, this is translated into more kWP installed with the same number of holes, or in the same system with fewer modules, less structure and less labor. Is exactly what Aiko summarizes on his file as boss (Balance of System): Less cost in structures for solar panels, wiring and mounting time for each watt installed.

Real performance in summer thanks to the temperature coefficient

The data that differentiates a good panel in climates like that of Spain and Portugal is the pMAX temperature coefficient. Aiko Neostar 545W records -0.26%/°C, in front of the usual values of -0.30 to -0.35%/°C of many type P technologies and Topcon. By way, with the cell 65 ° C (40 ° C above STC conditions, something usual on an Andalusian roof in July), the theoretical loss would be approximately a 10.4%, while a module with -0.35%/°C i would lose around a 14%. That difference accumulates for hundreds of intense sun hours each year.

Minimum degradation and 30 years of guaranteed performance

The architecture type n avoid light-induced degradation associated with the Boro-Oxygen complex that affects P. AIKO-type cells reflects it in a particularly demanding warranty curve: maximum degradation of 1% the first year and only 0.35% annually since the year 2 to 30. At the end of the guaranteed useful life, the panel must continue to deliver at least the 88.85% of its nominal power, that is, some 484 W reals of the initial 545 W.

Bifiality and double glass

Like bifacial double glass module, the Neostar also takes advantage of the reflected light that reaches his back face. Bifacial gain depends on the albedo of the surface (clear covers, white gravel, reflective sheet metal covers) and the mounting height, so it is especially interesting in facilities on flat cover with inclined structure, solar pergolas or soil. In addition, the sandwich of semi-working glass of 2.0 + 2.0 mm protects cells from moisture and mechanical stress, reinforcing microrrote resistance that Aiko stands out as one of the advantages of the series.

AIKO ABC Technology: Why do you mark the difference

Technology ABC (All Back Contact) it is AIKO's bet to overcome the efficiency limits of conventional cells. By eliminating the front metal lines, the shadows that these same lines project on the cell, which translates into a greater current generated and in a totally uniform aesthetic.

Partial Shadow Optimization

The partial shadows of chimneys, antennas, trees or petos are one of the main enemies of production. Aiko incorporates in the Neostar series partial shading optimization that, together with the 3 bypass diodes from the IP68 connection box, it helps reduce energy loss when only a part of the module is shaded. For roofs with complex shadows, combine it with microinverters u optimizers allows you to further squeeze each panel.

Aesthetics Full Black for Housing

The black anodized aluminum frame and the front face without busbars give the panel a uniform and elegant appearance, ideal for single-family homes, covered visible from the street or projects where architectural integration is a requirement.

Limitation of high temperatures

Aiko highlights the limitation of high temperatures as a characteristic typical of the series, which is added to the low temperature coefficient to maintain stable performance during the central hours of the day in the hottest months.

Robustez certified for any location

The AIKO-A545-MCE60DW is designed to withstand demanding conditions for decades:

• Front load of 5400 Pa, fit for areas with snow accumulation.
• Rear load of 2400 Pa, in front of the suction of the wind.
• Hail Testing with balls of 35 mm to 23 m / s.
• Class A Fire Resistance IEC and Class II electric protection.
• Operating Range -40 ° C to +70 ° C.

In addition, Aiko is on the list Tier 1 of Bloombergnef, it has Munich re as a guarantee partner (optional coverage available upon request) and manufactures under the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, a key support for professional installers who need to offer long-term security to their customers.

Compatibility and recommended applications

With a VMP 38.50 V and one IMP of 14.16, neostar 545W is a versatile module for:

• Residential self-consumption with batteries, combined with inverters hybrid and lithium batteries to store surpluses and use them at night.
• Self-consumption without batteries connected inverters networking, the most direct option to reduce the electricity invoice.
• Commercial and industrial facilities thanks to its maximum system tension of 1500 V DC, which allows longer strings.
• Turnkey projects, integrated in solar kits complete inverter, structure and protections.

Before designing the system, it is convenient to verify that the maximum entry current by MPPT of the inverter overcome 14.88 A from ICC of the module, since some previous generation equipment are limited to 12 or 13 A.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How many AIKO Neostar 545W panels can I connect in series?

It depends on the maximum entry tension of the inverter and the minimum temperature of the site. The module has a VAC 45.70 V in STC and a coefficient of -0.22%/°C, so -10 ° C its tension in open circuit rises up to some 49.2 V (orientative calculation). With a inverter of 600 V maximum entry, the limit would be around 12 modules by string; in systems of 1000 V, around 20. You should always check with the manufacturer's dimensioning tool of the inverter.

2. What is the difference between ABC technology and the Topcon?

Both use n-type cells, but in Topcon the metal contacts are still on the front face, projecting small shadows on the cell. Technology ABC (All Back Contact) of Aiko places all contacts in the back, which allows a greater catch of light, a efficiency of 24.6% in this model and a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C.

3. Is it compatible with microinverters?

Yes, as long as the microinverter admit the short circuit current of 14.88 A and the power of 545 W per entrance So many microinverters latest generation already accept 16 A or higher entry currents, but it is important to review the Concrete Model tab before purchase.

4. What guarantee does the Solar Panel Aiko 545W have?

Aiko offers 15 years of product guarantee, expandable to 25 years, and 30 years of guarantee of linear performance, with a maximum degradation of 1% the first year and from 0.35% annually from the second. In the year 30, the module must preserve at least the 88.85% of its nominal power.

5. Is it worth taking advantage of bifiality on a tilted roof?

In a tilted roof coplanar, the back face receives little light, so the bifacial gain will be reduced, although the panel continues to benefit from the durability of the double glass. Bifiality takes advantage of better flat covers with high structure, pergolas or facilities on soil on clear surfaces.

6. Can I combine these panels with a battery for self-consumption?

Of course. The most usual thing is to connect them to a hybrid inverter with lithium batteries, or add batteries Plug & Play to an existing installation to do peakshaving and take better advantage of solar surpluses.

7. How much do you weigh and what structure does it need?

The panel weighs 27.1 kg and measures 1954 x 1134 x 30 mm. Is compatible with most structures for solar panels market coplanar and triangular prepared for 30 mm thick modules and 1.95 m long format.
