The company has held BloombergNEF Tier 1 status since at least Q3 2024 and had annual production capacity of roughly 20 GW in early 2025, reportedly growing toward 35 GW by mid-2026. VEDA Solar is an Indian manufacturer headquartered in Surat, Gujarat, operating a 1.5 GW facility that only began commercial module production in May 2026 - making it a very early-stage player with no confirmed BloombergNEF Tier 1 standing. In terms of institutional footprint, AIKO has a substantially larger and more established global presence. AIKO's defining product line centers on its proprietary ABC (All-Back-Contact) cell technology, which relocates all electrical contacts to the rear of the cell to maximize light capture at the front. This differentiates AIKO from mainstream TOPCon and HJT offerings and has placed its Neostar series among the highest-efficiency residential panels commercially available, with modules routinely cited above 24% efficiency and a notably low temperature coefficient. VEDA Solar produces N-Type TOPCon bifacial modules in the 550-630 Wp range, BIS-certified and aimed at rooftop, commercial, and utility-scale projects primarily within India. Its bifacial lineup is positioned to capture rear-side irradiance gains on ground-mount and flat-roof installations. For a buyer outside India seeking premium efficiency and bankable supply chain assurance, AIKO is the clear default choice: its Tier 1 status, track record, and ABC technology command a price premium but deliver a measurable performance advantage over standard TOPCon products. VEDA Solar is best evaluated as a domestically focused Indian option for buyers who prioritize BIS certification, local supply chain resilience, or compliance with India's Approved List of Models and Manufacturers - not as a like-for-like alternative to a globally scaled manufacturer. \---LINKS--- \- https://aikosolar.com/en/aiko-achieves-prestigious-tier1-status/ \| AIKO achieves BloombergNEF Tier 1 status \| article \- https://www.solarquotes.com.au/panels/aiko-solar-review.html \| Aiko Solar panel review - SolarQuotes Australia \| review \- https://energetica-india.net/news/veda-solar-begins-commercial-production-of-topcon-solar-modules-at-1-5-gw-surat-facility \| Veda Solar begins commercial production at 1.5 GW Surat facility \| article \- https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/business/veda-solar-begins-commercial-production-of-550wp-to-630wp-solar-modules-expands-manufacturing-strength/amp \| Veda Solar 550-630 Wp module production launch - Tribune India \| article \- https://www.raylyst.eu/en/what-distinguishes-aiko-abc-technology-from-perc-topcon-or-hjt-panels/ \| What makes AIKO ABC technology stand out from PERC, TOPCon and HJT \| article Sources: \- \[AIKO Tier 1 BloombergNEF announcement\](https://aikosolar.com/en/aiko-achieves-prestigious-tier1-status/) \- \[SolarQuotes AIKO panel review\](https://www.solarquotes.com.au/panels/aiko-solar-review.html) \- \[Energetica India - Veda Solar 1.5 GW Surat facility\](https://energetica-india.net/news/veda-solar-begins-commercial-production-of-topcon-solar-modules-at-1-5-gw-surat-facility) \- \[Tribune India - Veda Solar commercial production launch\](https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/business/veda-solar-begins-commercial-production-of-550wp-to-630wp-solar-modules-expands-manufacturing-strength/amp) \- \[Raylyst - AIKO ABC vs TOPCon/HJT/PERC explained\](https://www.raylyst.eu/en/what-distinguishes-aiko-abc-technology-from-perc-topcon-or-hjt-panels/) Written by claude-sonnet from the figures above. ## Other comparisons - [AIKO vs A.B.
