A layout that fits
Panel dimensions, roof structure, orientation and access determine the array layout. A larger nameplate rating does not always fit more generation onto a roof.

Neostar family
Start with the module and the roof.
AIKO’s Neostar range uses ABC back-contact cell technology. Neostar generations and glass configurations have different dimensions, ratings and warranty terms. We use the specified module’s datasheet to plan roof coverage and estimate production.
A matched electrical design
The selected modules must suit the inverter’s voltage and current limits. Shading and roof faces help determine the string or microinverter arrangement.
Comparable documentation
Compare the exact module codes, product warranties and performance schedules. A performance warranty is not a forecast of the energy your roof will generate.

Warranty and support
Check the coverage for your model.
Warranty terms depend on the exact model, installation and use. We include the applicable Australian warranty documents with the quote.
The equipment
Check which components are covered, the warranty term and any registration, usage or servicing conditions.
The installation
Your quote should identify the installation work, commissioning, handover and support contacts.
The documents
Keep model and serial numbers, the invoice and the applicable Australian warranty. Manufacturer warranties sit alongside Australian Consumer Law rights.
Planning the system
Estimate production from your roof.
A useful solar estimate combines the proposed layout with your electricity use. Savings depend on how much generation you use at home, export rates and your retail tariff.
Generation
Model orientation, shade, local weather and system losses using the proposed array and inverter.
Use and export
Compare production with daytime demand and future loads such as hot water or EV charging.
Cost and coverage
Review the complete installation price, eligible incentives and each component’s warranty.

These pages cover different models and product families. Compare exact quote specifications and installation scope before comparing prices.
| Brand or product | Range covered | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Trina | Vertex S+ family | Compare the exact module code and roof layout, not just the brand name. |
| Jinko | Tiger Neo family | Match the module dimensions to the usable roof area. |
| REA | REA solar panel range | Check which panel generation is quoted and whether the microinverter is included. |
| AIKO | Neostar family | Compare output per square metre using the actual panel dimensions. |
| LONGi | Hi-MO family | Confirm the Hi-MO generation instead of comparing the family name alone. |
