AIKO COMET 2U72 Review

AIKO Solar Panels Australia

AIKO DUAL-GLASS 640W-670W

The AIKO COMET 2U72 Dual‑Glass panel is built for commercial and utility-scale installations that demand long-term reliability and high power. Combining the strength of dual-glass construction with AIKO’s advanced N‑Type ABC cell technology, this module delivers exceptional durability, efficiency, and energy yield. Its large format design allows project developers to achieve significant output with fewer panels, making it ideal for expansive rooftops or ground-mounted systems where performance and lifetime value are key.

Key features of the AIKO COMET 2U72

  • Ultra‑high power output (645 W–670 W): Fewer panels are needed to reach large system capacities, reducing installation time and balance-of-system costs.
  • Premium N‑Type ABC cell technology: Combines high efficiency (up to ~24.8%) with excellent low-light performance, stability, and low degradation over the system’s life.
  • Cell-level partial shading optimisation: Minimises shading losses across the panel, improving actual power yield in real-world array conditions.
  • Excellent temperature coefficient (≈‑0.26 %/°C): Maintains better output at higher operating temperatures compared to many TOPCon or PERC panels.
  • Robust physical design for harsh environments: Built to IP68-rated junction box standards with front glass rated for 5,400 Pa snow load and rear for 2,400 Pa wind load.
  • Industry-leading warranty coverage: Includes a 15-year product warranty (optionally extendable to 25 years) and a 30-year linear performance warranty with ≤1% degradation in year one and ≤0.35% annually thereafter.

AIKO COMET 2U72 Warranty

The AIKO COMET 2U72 comes with a 15‑year product warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship, with the option to extend to 25 years in some markets. It also includes a 30‑year linear performance warranty, which guarantees no more than 1% power loss in the first year and limits annual degradation to 0.35% thereafter. By year 30, the panels are warranted to deliver at least 87.4% of their original output, ensuring long-term energy production and peace of mind for system owners.

Pros of the AIKO COMET 2U72

  • High wattage output: Achieves large system capacities with fewer panels.
  • Commercial and utility focus: Well-suited for big rooftop and ground-mounted projects.
  • Durable dual-glass design: Provides extra resistance to moisture, sand, and harsh conditions.
  • Low long-term degradation: Maintains higher energy yield over the system’s lifetime.
  • Clean aesthetics: Modern look that works well for visible commercial sites.

Cons of the AIKO Comet 2U72

  • Large and heavy: More challenging to handle and install.
  • Premium price point: Higher upfront cost compared to standard panels.
  • Not ideal for small projects: Oversized for most residential rooftops.
  • Specialised handling needed: Requires appropriate mounting and careful transport.

Applications for the AIKO Comet 2U72

The high output and efficiency of the AIKO COMET 2U72 Mono‑Glass module make it best suited for large-scale and high-demand installations in Australia:

  • Commercial and industrial rooftop systems: Ideal for businesses with large roof areas who need reliable, high-efficiency panels to cut energy costs and strengthen sustainability credentials.
  • Ground-mounted solar farms: The high wattage per module reduces the number of panels needed in utility-scale arrays, simplifying layout and reducing balance-of-system costs.
  • Battery-coupled systems: Performs exceptionally well in hybrid setups with commercial battery storage, enabling energy independence and optimised consumption.
  • Large institutional projects: Well suited for schools, hospitals, logistics centres, and other organisations where long-term energy security and low degradation are priorities.
  • Expansive residential properties: Although designed for larger projects, it can also be used on properties with significant roof space where fewer panels are preferred for a clean, powerful installation.
