Aiko Solar review
By My Energy Mate Editorial · Last updated
8.9/10
Aiko's Neostar back-contact panels are the efficiency leaders of the Australian market in 2026, at up to 24.8% module efficiency with clean all-black looks. A 6.6 kW Aiko system typically costs A$6,500 to A$8,500 installed. Premium performance at an upper-midrange price makes Aiko the current enthusiast default.
Cons
- Younger retail brand in Australia than Jinko or Trina
- Supply of the newest models can lag demand

Additional things to note about Aiko Solar?
Aiko's disadvantages are availability and track record rather than hardware: the newest Neostar models sell out, its Australian service office history is short, and its premium over Jinko or Trina only pays back on space-constrained roofs where the extra efficiency lets you fit more kilowatts.
