Aiko Solar Panel Price in Pakistan Today (2 Nov 2026)

The Aiko solar panel price in Pakistan is higher per watt than almost every other brand on our sheet, and that is deliberate. Aiko sells only back-contact (ABC) panels, the most efficient mass-produced panels you can buy in Pakistan right now, and it prices them as a premium product. This page explains what ABC actually means on a Pakistani roof, which Aiko series you are likely to be offered, the warranty on the datasheet and when the extra rupees are worth paying.

About Aiko solar

Aiko is a Chinese solar manufacturer that grew into one of the world’s largest solar cell makers before launching its own modules. Its big bet is All Back Contact (ABC) technology: every electrical contact on the cell is moved to the back, so the front of the panel has no silver busbar lines at all. That gives more glass area for sunlight and a clean, all-black look.

Aiko was added to BloombergNEF’s Tier 1 list of bankable module makers in 2024, which put it alongside the long-established Chinese majors such as Jinko, Longi and Trina.

Fact	Aiko
Country	China
Background	Large solar cell maker, now selling its own modules
Core technology	ABC (All Back Contact), N-type
BloombergNEF Tier 1	Yes, since 2024
Module families	Neostar (homes), Stellar (the range now sold in Pakistan), Comet (older range, no longer sold here)
Position in Pakistan	Premium, highest price per watt on our sheet

In Pakistan, Aiko is a newer name than Jinko or Longi. You will mostly find it with installers who sell high-end home systems and with buyers who have a small roof and want the most power from it.

Back contact is no longer a niche idea. Longi’s Hi-MO panels, which are among the most common in Pakistan, also use back-contact cells (Longi calls its version HPBC). Aiko and Longi are the two big makers betting on this design, while Jinko, Trina, JA, Astronergy and Canadian mostly sell TOPCon. For a buyer, that means back contact is a proven mass-production technology now, not an experiment.

Aiko solar panel models explained

Aiko splits its ABC panels into three families by use. Power ranges below come from Aiko’s own product listing and datasheets.

Family	Aimed at	Example versions	Power range
Neostar	Homes	54-cell and 60-cell, mono-glass and dual-glass	About 460 W to 555 W
Comet	Commercial and industrial roofs (older range, no longer sold in Pakistan)	72-cell (Comet 2N and the newer 3N72)	About 605 W to 630 W (2N), 655 W to 690 W (3N72)
Stellar	Homes, commercial roofs and ground mounts; the range sold in Pakistan now	Stellar 1N and Stellar 1N+	About 620 W to 635 W (1N), 645 W to 655 W (1N+)

Our sheet tracks two Aiko panels:

Size on our sheet	Live price	Price per watt
620 W (Stellar 1N)	Rs 25,110	Rs 40.5
650 W (Stellar 1N+)	Rs 27,950	Rs 43

Aiko’s own site lists its Neostar home panels only up to about 555 W, with the 600 W plus panels sold here under the Stellar name; the older Comet 600 W panels are no longer sold in Pakistan. So when a dealer offers a “600 W Neostar”, read the full model code on the label before you pay.

Neostar for small home roofs

Neostar is Aiko’s home range, built in 54-cell and 60-cell sizes that are shorter and lighter than the 72-cell panels most Pakistani installers use. Aiko’s listing includes these versions:

Neostar version	Glass	Power range
3P54	Mono-glass	470 W to 500 W
3P+54	Dual-glass	465 W to 495 W
3P60	Mono-glass	530 W to 555 W
3P+60	Dual-glass	530 W to 550 W

These smaller panels are useful on oddly shaped roofs, mumty tops and narrow verandas where a 2.3 metre panel will not fit. They are less common in Pakistani stock than Stellar panels, so you may need to order them.

Comet 2N, the older 600 W class panel

The Comet 2N (AIKO-A-MAH72Mw) was the Aiko panel most often seen on Pakistani rooftops in the 600 W class. It is no longer sold new here, and the Stellar 1N 620 W has taken its place, but its datasheet is a useful guide to what ABC panels offer:

Spec	Comet 2N datasheet
Power range	605 W to 630 W
Maximum efficiency	23.9% (630 W version)
Cells	144 N-type ABC cells
Size	2323 × 1134 × 33 mm
Weight	27.7 kg
Temperature coefficient of Pmax	−0.26% per °C

That 23.9% efficiency is higher than the roughly 22.5% to 23% you get from the mainstream TOPCon panels around it on our sheet. On the same roof area, that means a little more power. The −0.26% per °C temperature coefficient is also better than typical TOPCon (around −0.29% to −0.30%), so the Aiko panel loses slightly less output on a 45 °C June afternoon in Multan or Jacobabad.

Note the weight: at 27.7 kg, the Comet 2N is lighter than many dual-glass panels of the same size, which helps on older roofs and makes handling easier.

What ABC means in plain words

• No front busbars. On a normal panel, thin silver lines on the front block a small part of the light. ABC cells move all of that to the back.
• Better looks. Aiko panels look plain black from the street, which some home owners in DHA and Bahria Town prefer.
• Shading behaviour. Aiko says its ABC panels handle partial shading better than standard panels. In Pakistan that is useful where a water tank, parapet or neighbour’s wall throws a shadow across the array for part of the day.

Panel count for common systems

System	At 620 W	At 650 W
5 kW	9 panels	8 panels
10 kW	17 panels	16 panels

See every brand at these sizes on the 600 watt panel price page and the 650 watt panel price page.

Worked example: how much fits on a small roof

Say you have about 40 square metres of usable, unshaded roof after leaving space for the water tank and walkways. A rough rule is that panel area times efficiency gives kilowatts under standard test light, before you lose some space to gaps between panels and rows.

Panel	Efficiency (datasheet)	Roughly what fits on 40 m²
Aiko Comet 2N 630 W	23.9%	About 9.5 kW
Typical TOPCon 585 W	About 22.6%	About 9 kW

Half a kilowatt does not sound like much, but on a roof that cannot fit one more row, it is the difference between covering your summer bill and not quite covering it. On a roof with spare space, you would get the same result more cheaply by adding one ordinary panel.

Aiko solar panel warranty in Pakistan

Aiko’s datasheets give one of the stronger warranty and degradation packages in the market. Using the Comet 2N as the example:

Warranty item	Comet 2N datasheet
Product warranty	15 years
Power warranty	30 years
First-year degradation	Not more than 1%
Yearly degradation, years 2 to 30	Not more than 0.35%
Guaranteed power at year 30	88.85% of nameplate

The yearly figure is the one to look at. A typical TOPCon panel promises not more than 0.4% per year. Aiko promises not more than 0.35%. Over thirty years that small difference adds up, and on a net-metered home system it means slightly more units in the later years.

Year	Aiko Comet 2N (0.35% a year)	Typical TOPCon (0.4% a year)
1	99%	99%
10	About 95.9%	About 95.4%
20	About 92.4%	About 91.4%
30	88.85%	About 87.4%

These are the guaranteed minimums from the warranty curves, not predictions. Real panels usually do better than the guarantee if they are kept clean and well ventilated.

In Pakistan the warranty is honoured through the importer or distributor that brought your Aiko stock in, not through a local Aiko office in every city. Before buying:

1. Ask the dealer to name the importer or distributor.
2. Ask who inspects a faulty panel and who pays for removal and transport.
3. Get the full model code, quantity and every serial number on the invoice.
4. Keep the datasheet for your exact model, since its degradation curve is what a power claim is tested against.

You can claim for	You usually cannot claim for
Junction box failure, hot spots from manufacturing faults	Cracks from impact or being walked on
Delamination, bubbles or moisture inside the laminate	Storm damage from a weak structure
Power well below the warranty curve, proven by test	Burnt MC4 joints from poor installation

Is Aiko worth it on a grid-connected home?

On a grid-tied or hybrid home system, every extra unit your roof makes either replaces a unit you would buy from your DISCO or reduces what you draw at night. The value of Aiko’s higher efficiency and slower ageing therefore depends on your electricity rate and on the export terms you get under the current NEPRA rules. Run the numbers both ways with our solar panel calculator: once with Aiko at its live price, and once with a cheaper TOPCon panel plus one or two extra plates. If both fit on your roof, the cheaper option usually wins. If only the Aiko layout fits, the premium is the price of the roof space you do not have.

How to check an original Aiko panel

Aiko panels are expensive, which makes them worth faking, but ABC cells are also hard to fake. A quick look at the front of the panel tells you a lot.

1. Look at the front. A genuine Aiko ABC panel has no visible busbar lines across the cells. If you see the usual thin silver lines, it is not an Aiko ABC panel.
2. Read the model code. Aiko model codes start with AIKO-A, for example AIKO-A615-MAH72Mw for a Comet 2N. A label without a full code is a warning sign.
3. Check the size. A Comet 2N is about 2323 × 1134 mm. A “650 W Aiko” that is the size of a 550 W panel is not genuine.
4. Weigh it if you can. The Comet 2N datasheet weight is 27.7 kg. A much heavier or much lighter panel of the same size is suspect.
5. Match the serials on the rear label, under the front glass and on the box.
6. Ask for the flash test list for your pallet from the importer, and find your serials on it.

What you see	What it means
Silver busbar lines on the front	Not an ABC panel
“Aiko” sticker but no AIKO-A model code	Relabelled panel
Price close to ordinary TOPCon panels	Too good to be true for genuine ABC stock
Seller cannot name the importer	No traceable warranty

Installing Aiko panels

ABC panels do not need a special inverter. They connect with standard MC4 connectors and work with the hybrid and on-grid inverters sold in Pakistan, as long as the string voltage and current fit the inverter’s limits. Two points matter more than usual:

• Do not mix Aiko panels with other brands on the same MPPT input; you lose the efficiency you paid for.
• Use the clamping zones in Aiko’s installation manual. The lighter Comet 2N frame is strong, but clamping in the wrong place can void the warranty.

Aiko vs other Tier 1 brands

The fair comparison for Aiko is at 600 to 650 W, where our sheet has rival panels from Longi and Trina.

Panel	Live price	Price per watt	Cell technology
Aiko Stellar 1N 620 W	Rs 25,110	Rs 40.5	N-type ABC back contact
Longi 600 W	Rs 26,400	Rs 44	N-type HPBC back contact
Aiko Stellar 1N+ 650 W	Rs 27,950	Rs 43	N-type ABC back contact
Trina Vertex N 620 W	Rs 25,110	Rs 40.5	N-type TOPCon
Market average		Rs 41.3	All tracked panels

Aiko is usually the most expensive per watt in this group. What do you get for that?

Factor	Aiko ABC	Longi HPBC	Mainstream TOPCon
Front busbars	None	None	Yes
Typical efficiency	Highest on our sheet	High	Good
Temperature coefficient	About −0.26% per °C (Comet 2N)	Check model datasheet	About −0.29% to −0.30% per °C
Yearly degradation promise	0.35% (Comet 2N)	Check model datasheet	Often 0.4%
Price per watt	Highest	High	Lowest
Ease of finding in Pakistan	Limited	Very easy	Very easy

Longi is Aiko’s closest rival, because Longi’s Hi-MO panels also use back-contact cells. The Longi price page covers that range. For most home owners with a big, unshaded roof, a mainstream N-type TOPCon panel gives more units per rupee. Aiko makes the most sense when roof space is the real limit. See the full ranking in our best solar panels in Pakistan guide.

When the Aiko premium pays off

• A small roof where you cannot fit enough ordinary panels to cover your bill.
• A roof with partial shade from tanks, walls or trees for part of the day.
• Very hot cities, where a better temperature coefficient adds up over the summer.
• A house where looks matter and an all-black array is part of the design.

When it does not: a big open roof or a ground-mounted tubewell array, where you can simply add one more cheaper panel to get the same output.

Aiko vs Longi: choosing a back-contact panel

If you have already decided you want back contact, the choice is mostly between Aiko and Longi. Longi wins on availability: its panels are in almost every solar market in Pakistan, from big-city markets to small-town dealers, and used Longi panels are easy to resell. Aiko usually wins on datasheet efficiency and on the yearly degradation promise of the Comet 2N. On price, compare the Aiko 620 W and Longi 600 W rows in the table above on the day you buy, because both brands move with each shipment. A practical rule: if your installer can get genuine Aiko stock through a named importer, it is the stronger panel on paper. If they cannot, a genuine Longi beats a doubtful Aiko every time.

What moves the Aiko solar panel price

• Family and size. Stellar 1N and Stellar 1N+ panels are the mass sellers; Neostar home panels are rarer here and can cost more per watt.
• Mono-glass or dual-glass. Dual-glass versions usually cost a little more.
• Supply. Fewer importers bring Aiko in, so a gap between shipments can push prices up quickly.
• Rupee and taxes. As with every imported panel, exchange rate moves and budget changes reach the shop price.

Aiko solar panels: pros and cons

Pros	Cons
Highest efficiency panels we track, no front busbars	Highest price per watt on our sheet
Better temperature coefficient than most TOPCon	Limited stock outside big cities
Strong degradation promise, 0.35% a year on Comet 2N	Newer brand in Pakistan, less local track record
15-year product warranty on Comet 2N	Model names on dealer quotes are sometimes confused
All-black look, lighter Comet 2N panel	Resale market for used Aiko panels is small
Tier 1 listed since 2024	Warranty runs through importers only

Our view: Aiko is the right panel for a specific buyer, not for everyone. If your roof is small, shaded or very hot, Aiko earns its premium. If you have space, put the money into an extra panel or a better inverter instead.

Who should buy Aiko

• Home owners with a small or awkward roof who need the most kilowatts from limited space.
• Houses with partial shading from tanks, walls or trees at some hours of the day.
• Buyers in the hottest districts who want the lowest heat losses.
• Anyone planning to keep the system for 25 years or more, who values the lower degradation promise.

Who should skip it: buyers with plenty of open roof, ground-mount farmers and anyone on a tight budget, where a Tier 1 TOPCon panel gives more units per rupee.

Where to buy Aiko solar panels

Aiko panels are sold through a smaller number of importers and premium installers than the mass-market brands, mostly in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. We do not name dealers because authorisations change. Instead:

1. Ask installers who do high-end residential work whether they supply Aiko and through which importer.
2. Get a written quote with the full AIKO-A model code, family name (for example Stellar 1N or Stellar 1N+), wattage and quantity.
3. Compare the quote with the live 620 W and 650 W prices on this page.
4. Check the front of every panel for busbars and match the serials on delivery.
5. Keep the datasheet and invoice for warranty claims.

Buying route	Good for	Watch out for
Premium installer, supply and fit	Correct design for shading and heat	Ask for the importer invoice
Importer or distributor direct	Best price on larger quantities	Delivery and breakage terms
Online listing	Price check	Hard to verify ABC stock remotely

Questions to ask before you pay for Aiko

• Which family is this, Neostar, Comet or Stellar, and what is the full AIKO-A model code?
• Is it mono-glass or dual-glass?
• Which importer supplied it, and will they handle a claim directly?
• Can I see the flash test results for my serials?
• Is the quoted price per panel or per watt, and does it include delivery to the roof?
