Key features of the AIKO COMET 2N72

  • High power output (605โ€ฏWโ€“630โ€ฏW): Produces more energy per panel, reducing the number of modules needed to reach your target capacity.
  • Nโ€‘Type ABC cell technology: Offers excellent efficiency, low light performance, and slower degradation over time compared to traditional PERC cells.
  • Mono-glass construction: Lighter than dual-glass panels, making installation and handling easier while maintaining good durability.
  • Improved performance in heat: A low temperature coefficient helps maintain strong output even in hot Australian conditions.
  • Partial shading tolerance: Advanced cell design reduces losses from shading, improving real-world energy yield.
  • Long-term warranty: Backed by a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year linear performance warranty.

AIKO COMET 2N72 Warranty

The AIKO COMETโ€ฏ2N72 Monoโ€‘Glass panel is supported by a 15โ€‘year product warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship. It also comes with a 30โ€‘year linear performance warranty, limiting power output loss to no more than 1% in the first year and 0.35% per year from the second year onward. By year 30, the panel is guaranteed to deliver at least 87.4% of its original rated power, giving system owners confidence in consistent long-term performance.

Pros of the AIKO COMET 2N72

  • High power range: 605โ€ฏW to 630โ€ฏW output helps achieve capacity with fewer panels.
  • Easier handling: Mono-glass construction is lighter than dual-glass panels.
  • Good performance in challenging conditions: Low light efficiency and heat tolerance improve energy yield.
  • Lower long-term degradation: Slower power loss over 30 years adds value.
  • Versatile installation: Suitable for rooftops and ground-mounted arrays.

Cons of the AIKO Comet 2N72

  • Not as rugged as dual-glass: Offers less resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
  • Large panel size: Can be cumbersome for small rooftops or tight spaces.
  • Premium pricing: Costs more upfront than standard PERC panels.
  • Better suited to larger systems: Output may be excessive for small residential setups.

Applications for the AIKO Comet 2N72

The combination of high power and a lighter mono-glass build makes the AIKO COMETโ€ฏ2N72 Monoโ€‘Glass well suited for a range of solar projects in Australia:

  • Commercial and industrial rooftop systems: Perfect for large roof areas where high output panels can reduce installation time and system complexity while delivering reliable long-term performance.
  • Ground-mounted solar farms: Its high wattage output helps reduce the total number of panels required, lowering balance-of-system costs and simplifying layout design.
  • Battery-coupled systems: Works well in hybrid setups with commercial battery storage, enabling greater energy independence and optimised self-consumption.
  • Institutional projects: Ideal for schools, hospitals, distribution centres and other large facilities that require dependable, high-capacity solar solutions.
  • Large residential properties: While aimed at bigger projects, it can also be used on spacious residential rooftops where fewer, more powerful panels are preferred.
