This means a real increase in kWh generated from the same roof area, without the need to increase the number of modules. - **ABC Technology - eliminating gridlines on the front** - The absence of front busbars eliminates self-shading of individual cells and expands the active light-receiving surface by approximately 1.8% compared to conventional modules. In laboratory tests conducted by CEA PV Tech, AIKO ABC modules achieved the best results among the tested technologies in terms of performance under partial shading. - **Favorable temperature coefficient** - The -0.26%/°C coefficient is better than the typical TOPCon (-0.29%/°C) and significantly better than PERC (-0.40%/°C). At an operating temperature of 80°C, this translates to approximately a 1.7% higher power output compared to a TOPCon module - a significant advantage for C&I installations on dark roofs of warehouses and industrial buildings. - **Very low degradation - no LID/LeTID** - The N-type substrate completely eliminates LID and LeTID. Guaranteed degradation: ≤1% in the first year, ≤0.35%/year in the subsequent 29 years; the manufacturer guarantees ≥88.85% of the nominal power after 30 years. These are better parameters than standard 30-year linear warranties on the market, which specify a degradation rate of 0.40-0.45%/year. - **Confirmed industry awards for 2023** - The series won the 2023 Intersolar Innovation Award and the 2023 Red Dot Design Award, which are independent accolades recognizing the technological innovation and quality of execution by specialized industry bodies. ## Cons - **Lack of comparability with similar companies** - Comet 1N is a single-sided (mono-glass) module, while the two main competitors with the same rated power of 630 Wp - Jinko Tiger Neo 66HL4M-BDV and Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 - are bifacial. In installations on bright surfaces (white mounting structure, white membrane), bifaciality provides an additional 5-15% in energy yield, which Comet 1N does not offer. - **Premium pricing for ABC technology** - The back contact technology is more complex to manufacture than mass-produced TOPCon, which translates to a higher CAPEX/Wa ratio compared to comparable Jinko or Canadian Solar modules. For projects with limited budgets, the price difference may not be fully offset by the efficiency gains, especially in less sunny locations. ## About this series The AIKO Comet 1N Mono-Glass (605W-630W) series was designed to extract more energy from the same rooftop surface while simultaneously simplifying the installation process. Its key advantage lies in the **XBC (back contact) technology** - eliminating front busbars, which reduces shading losses on the cells and enhances module aesthetics. In practice, this translates to **better energy yields in real-world conditions**, especially at high operating temperatures, where its favorable temperature coefficient provides benefits. The Comet 1N also boasts a **lower BOS**: higher power per module simplifies the system by reducing the number of panels, components, and connection points, accelerating installation and organizing cabling. From an operational standpoint, **resistance to micro-cracks** is crucial, supporting long-term reliability on industrial halls, warehouses, and commercial buildings. This is an excellent choice for C&I investors seeking to maximize energy production from limited rooftop space and shorten the payback period without compromising on longevity. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 24.4% is 0.7pp above the \*\*Back Contact 600-650W\*\* median (23.7%) - At 243.9 W/m² power density, this panel generates 7.0 W/m² more per unit area than \*\*Back Contact 600-650W\*\* median (236.9 W/m²) - At -0.26%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*Back Contact 600-650W\*\* panels - 27.0 kg weight - 5.3 kg lighter than \*\*Back Contact 600-650W\*\* median (32.3 kg), reducing installation effort - Ranked #113 out of 14129 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What is the XBC technology used in AIKO Comet 1N panels, and why is it important? XBC (Exclusive Back Contact) is a technology in which all electrical contacts of the solar cell are located on the back of the module. The absence of metal strips on the front glass results in reduced losses due to internal shading and a larger active surface area for light absorption. In practice, the AIKO Comet 1N module achieves an efficiency of up to 24.4%, which translates to more energy from the same roof area compared to traditional TOPCon or PERC panels. ### What is the warranty on Aiko Comet 1N Mono-Glass panels? The manufacturer offers a 15-year product warranty (for physical and material defects) and a 30-year linear power warranty. Degradation is no more than 1% in the first year and a maximum of 0.35% per year in subsequent years. This means that after 30 years, the panel retains at least 87.4% of its initial nominal power, which is among the best results in the commercial module market. ### How well do AIKO Comet 1N panels perform during the summer heat? The Comet 1N series is characterized by a temperature coefficient of power of -0.26%/°C, which is better than typical PERC modules (-0.35%/°C) or many TOPCon modules (-0.29%/°C). When the module temperature reaches 60°C, the panel loses approximately 9% of its power, compared to 12-13% in older technologies. On hot summer days, this means a real increase in energy generation with similar solar irradiance. ### Is the AIKO Comet 1N 630W suitable for installation in a factory or warehouse setting? Yes, the Comet 1N series is primarily designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) applications. Its high individual power output of up to 630W allows for a reduction in the number of modules, mounting structures, and connection points on the same roof area, which lowers BOS (Balance of System) costs and shortens installation time. Its resistance to micro-cracks increases reliability over the long term, especially on large roof areas. ### What differentiates the AIKO Comet 1N from the popular TOPCon panels available at a similar price? The main difference lies in the cell architecture: Comet 1N uses back contact (XBC) technology, while TOPCon has contacts on both sides. As a result, with the same roof area, Comet 1N allows for the installation of over 5% more peak power compared to TOPCon, and generates over 7% more energy annually. An additional advantage is the aesthetic appeal of the module, which features no visible rails, making it ideal for installations on facades or representative buildings. ### Are the AIKO Comet 1N Mono-Glass modules compatible with popular inverters and monitoring systems? Yes, the Comet 1N is a standard one-panel module with a typical MC4 connector, ensuring compatibility with inverters from leading brands such as Fronius, SMA, Huawei, SolarEdge, and Sungrow. The module is not bi-facial (mono-glass), so it does not require any special configuration on the inverter side. AIKO is a Tier 1 manufacturer, and its modules have passed IEC and MCS certifications, which are required by most insurers and grant programs. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/comet-1n-184-aiko-a-mah72mw-605-630w-2278x1134x30mm-dsdr-en-d33a62a95874.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +20 W, +0.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A680-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a680-mde72mw) | 680 W | +50 W, heavier, +0.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A675-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a675-mde72mw) | 675 W | +45 W, heavier, +0.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +15 W, +0.6 pp | | [WINAICO WST-675BKX72-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-675bkx72-a2) | 675 W | +45 W, heavier, +0.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-G670-MCH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-g670-mch72mw) | 670 W | +40 W, heavier, +0.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-670M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-72hvhf-670m) | 670 W | +40 W, heavier, +0.4 pp | | [AIKO M530M-144](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-m530m-144) | 530 W | -100 W, hotter, -3.9 pp | | [AIKO M535M-144](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-m535m-144) | 535 W | -95 W, hotter, -3.7 pp | | [AIKO M540M-144](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-m540m-144) | 540 W | -90 W, hotter, -3.5 pp | | [AIKO M545M-144](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-m545m-144) | 545 W | -85 W, hotter, -3.3 pp | | [AIKO M550M-144](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-m550m-144) | 550 W | -80 W, hotter, -3.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A-600-MAH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-shenzhen-aiko-digital-energy-technology-co-ltd-aiko-a-600-mah72mw) | 600 W | -30 W, hotter, -1.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A-605-MAH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-shenzhen-aiko-digital-energy-technology-co-ltd-aiko-a-605-mah72mw) | 605 W | -25 W, hotter, -1.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A-610-MAH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-shenzhen-aiko-digital-energy-technology-co-ltd-aiko-a-610-mah72mw) | 610 W | -20 W, hotter, -0.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72mw Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
