Project challenge
The rooftop area is limited, and the client requests as much power generation as possible.


Solution
The project utilizes the N-type ABC Neostar 2S 460W modules from AIKO, with an installed capacity of 5.4 kW. The modules are highly adaptive to the villa scenario in South Africa. The front grid-free design greatly improves the illuminated area for the modules, maximizes the sunlight captured and facilities its conversion into electric energy, which enables the modules to generate more power for the same area.
ClientTestimonial
This module is not just aesthetically pleasing because of its all black look, but it has some special new technology built into it. This includes shading optimization at cell level which means that when they shading on the module it can still produce 30% more than any other panel in the market. We are very excited to partner with AIKO energy to bring these new technologies to South Africa.
