Queensland Solar and Lighting Brings World’s Most Efficient Solar Modules to Brisbane!

Queensland Solar and Lighting is thrilled to announce that we will soon be offering AIKO’s solar modules, the world’s number one in efficiency, right here in Brisbane, Australia! This groundbreaking development comes after AIKO’s solar modules were named the most efficient globally for nine consecutive months, according to the latest rankings by TaiyangNews.

Our CEO shared the excitement, stating, “Bringing AIKO’s top-tier solar modules to Brisbane aligns perfectly with our mission to provide Australians with the most advanced and efficient solar energy solutions. We are proud to partner with a company that leads the way in solar technology innovation.”

AIKO’s solar modules have set a new standard in the industry with their unparalleled 24% conversion efficiency, thanks to their cutting-edge n-type ABC (All Back Contact) technology. This technology not only maximizes efficiency by eliminating grid line shading losses but also offers a sleek, modern look with its full-black design. Moreover, AIKO panels are distinguished by their exceptionally low degradation rate and superior temperature coefficient, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

“We are committed to driving the energy transition towards a carbon-free future, and offering AIKO’s award-winning solar modules is a significant step in that direction,” our CEO added. AIKO’s commitment to innovation and excellence has been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Intersolar Award and the Red Dot Product Design Award in 2023.

Queensland Solar and Lighting is excited to bring these high-performance solar modules to homes and businesses across Brisbane and beyond. Our partnership with AIKO enables us to support Australia’s energy transition with the best technology available, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Queensland Solar and Lighting Introduces Groundbreaking AIKO Solar Panels in Brisbane

Queensland Solar and Lighting is excited to bring to the Brisbane market the innovative AIKO Solar panels, marking a significant leap forward in solar energy solutions across Australia. With the anticipated arrival of AIKO Solar in the second quarter of 2024, we are eager to lead this transformative phase, providing Brisbane’s residents and businesses with access to the most efficient solar technology available globally.

Embarking on a New Solar Efficiency Frontier

Internationally acclaimed for their unmatched efficiency and cutting-edge design, AIKO Solar panels have garnered significant attention. Their achievements, including the prestigious Intersolar Award and the Reddot design award in 2023, underscore AIKO’s leadership in setting new standards for solar module efficiency, achieving an extraordinary 24% efficiency rate. This milestone not only demonstrates AIKO’s dedication to innovation but also makes its panels the preferred option for Australians aiming to optimize their solar energy output.

Queensland Solar and Lighting Brings AIKO’s World-Leading Solar Modules to Brisbane – 2025 Update

Queensland Solar and Lighting has always believed in staying ahead of the curve. In 2024, we proudly announced that we would bring AIKO’s groundbreaking solar modules to Brisbane. At the time, AIKO was already making headlines around the world. Their Neostar range had just been awarded “most efficient solar panel globally” by TaiyangNews for nine consecutive months.

Now in 2025, we can look back and see just how much that announcement has changed the solar market in Australia. AIKO hasn’t just lived up to the hype. It has set a new benchmark for performance, reliability, and long-term value for Brisbane homeowners and businesses.

From Launch to Leadership

When we first introduced AIKO modules, we highlighted three things:

• Unmatched efficiency – reaching up to 24% with their n-type ABC (All Back Contact) technology.

• Award-winning design – sleek full-black modules that look as good as they perform.

• Proven durability – extremely low degradation rates and excellent temperature coefficients.

In 2025, those points have been tested and proven in the field. Customers across Brisbane who installed AIKO panels in 2024 are now reporting consistently higher yields compared to comparable systems from Jinko, Trina, and even premium European brands.

Installer Feedback

Our installer network has been quick to point out the advantages:

• Lighter weight modules (around 21 kg) make handling easier.

• Positive-only tolerance ensures every customer gets at least the promised wattage, often more.

• Optimizer-like shading performance allows homes with partial roof shading to still see excellent results.

A Year Later: What Customers Say

Homeowners in suburbs like Indooroopilly, Carindale, and Redcliffe have given strong feedback about their AIKO-powered systems.

Key customer experiences:

• Higher daily outputs: Many Brisbane homes are reporting an extra 1–1.5 kWh per day compared to similarly sized Jinko or Trina systems installed in the same timeframe.

• Stable in summer heat: With a temperature coefficient of around -0.26%/°C, AIKO modules continue to produce even when the mercury hits 35°C+.

• Peace of mind: The 25-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty provide unmatched security in the Australian market.

AIKO vs. The Competition in 2025

It’s fair to ask: how do AIKO panels stack up against other Tier 1 brands now that they’ve had time in the market?

Here’s a simple comparison:

Verdict: AIKO still leads in efficiency, design, and shading performance. Jinko and Trina remain strong choices but lack the cutting-edge back-contact technology that sets AIKO apart.

The Neostar Range in Brisbane

In 2024, we introduced two key models:

• AIKO Neostar 1S (440W) – Perfect for Brisbane homes wanting subsidy eligibility without DC-coupled batteries.

• AIKO Neostar 2S (450W) – Higher output for those looking to maximise roof space.

By late 2024, AIKO added the Neostar 3S54 (485W) to the lineup. This model quickly became a favourite among installers. Its slightly longer size, lighter weight, and half-a-kilowatt potential output made it the panel of choice for homeowners wanting the very best.

In 2025, these three models remain available in Brisbane. Demand for the 485W Neostar 3S54 is particularly strong among new builds and luxury homes that want the most efficient option on the market.

Why Brisbane Loves AIKO Panels

1. Built for Heat

Queensland summers are tough. Many panels lose efficiency under high temperatures. AIKO’s design holds up better, thanks to that superior temperature coefficient.

2. Better in the Shade

Not every Brisbane roof is perfect. Trees, chimneys, or neighbouring homes can create partial shading. With AIKO’s built-in current diversion around shaded cells, the whole system keeps working efficiently.

3. Looks Matter

More homeowners care about how panels look on their roof. The full-black, grid-free design of AIKO panels is sleek and modern. They blend into rooflines instead of standing out.

4. Long-Term Reliability

With warranties that extend beyond 25 years, AIKO panels offer peace of mind for decades.

Price and Value in 2025

A key question for any homeowner is cost. In 2024, we positioned AIKO as a premium but still accessible option compared to European brands.

By 2025, AIKO has proven to be not just efficient but also excellent value:

• Customers often save more on energy bills because of the higher yields.

• The long warranty means fewer concerns about replacement costs.

• Competitive pricing has brought AIKO in line with other Tier 1 brands.

In practice, Brisbane homeowners are finding that the extra efficiency means faster payback times—often a year or two quicker than with lower-cost alternatives.

---

Awards and Recognition

AIKO’s rise hasn’t gone unnoticed. By 2025, the company has:

• Continued to hold the top efficiency ranking in TaiyangNews global tables.

• Won the Intersolar Award and Red Dot Product Design Award in 2023.

• Earned recognition in Australia as one of the most trusted premium solar brands.
