Year 1 to year 25. Rated 485 W at STC.

How this is modelled

Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.35%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 485 W rated (STC) output. This is a datasheet-derived estimate, not a field measurement or a warranty guarantee. Actual output also depends on site irradiance, temperature, soiling and system design.

Market context

Global evidencechange in the site menu

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.

Benchmark anchor. The score is anchored to the highest published rating in this exact series. Scored model: AIKO-A485-MAH54Mw · checked 2026-08-01. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-08-20

Strong evidence coverage

26 of 26 scored criteria link directly to a published source.

Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.

Record correction. AIKO Australia Neostar 2P54 exact product page, 450-485 W datasheet V4.1 and warranty v1.6.3, rechecked 2026-08-01 Re-verification 2026-08-19: Verified reliability recorded as "Brand or series independently tested; exact model not covered" under panel rubric v2.13.0, which added a band for brand or series evidence where the exact model is not covered by the third-party record. Re-verification 2026-08-20: Independent energy yield recorded as brand-or-series under panel rubric v2.14.0, which applied to this criterion the same exact-model rule v2.13.0 applied to Verified reliability.
