Panel Brands We Install
All three are CEC-approved panels, and each has a 30-year performance warranty. We'll match the right one to your roof, your usage and your budget.
Premium ChoiceIn stock. We keep this panel in stock.AIKO 490W
Neostar 3S54 full black, AIKO-A490-MCE54Mb
AIKO's Neostar 3S54 uses back-contact (ABC) cells, which put all the wiring on the back of each cell. That leaves the front without the thin silver lines you see on conventional panels, so the whole panel reads as one clean black sheet on the roof. At 490W and 24.5% efficiency it packs a lot into a standard-sized panel, which is why it's our go-to when roof space is tight or the look matters.
- 490W output, 24.5% module efficiency
- N-type back-contact (ABC) cells, 108 per panel
- Full-black front with a black anodised frame
- Temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C: output drops 0.26% for every degree the cells run above 25°C
- 1762 x 1134 x 30 mm, 20.6 kg
- 25-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty, with at least 88.85% of rated output at year 30
Datasheet & warranty
“AIKO is our go-to premium panel. The back-contact cells fit 490 W into a normal-size panel, and the full-black look is about the neatest thing you can put on a roof.”

Meteor black double glass, AE440CMD-108BDE
AE Solar is a German company based in Gersthofen, near Augsburg, and its Meteor panels are made in China. The 440W Meteor sandwiches N-type TOPCon half-cut cells between two sheets of glass, and this is AE's black double-glass version, so it sits dark and even on the roof. It's a solid all-rounder at a competitive price, and warranty claims in Australia go through AE's importer in Crestmead, just south of Brisbane.
- 440W output, 22.57% module efficiency
- N-type TOPCon technology, 108 half-cut cells
- Black double-glass build, with glass on the front and the back
- Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C: output drops 0.29% for every degree the cells run above 25°C
- 1721 x 1133 x 30 mm, 19.5 to 21.5 kg depending on glass thickness
- 15-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty, with at least 87.4% of rated output at year 30
- Australian warranty claims handled by One Stop Warehouse, Crestmead QLD

Ian's personal opinion, in his own words.
“They're all big manufacturers and generally decent panels. What matters more is the warranty support here in Australia and who's installing them, so ask who you'd call if something goes wrong.”
