Panel for industrial halls and ground-mounted installations: 610 W and 23.6% efficiency on 2.6 sqm, with a current below 14 A, which keeps the cabling and string fuses simple.
This is a large-format photovoltaic panel, designed for the roofs of industrial halls and for ground-mounted installations. As with the whole range of the manufacturer, the electrical contacts are moved to the back of the cell, so the front has no metal lines: it catches light over the whole surface and suffers less when a part of the module goes into shade or when it is very hot outside. In practice, more power fits on the same roof than with previous-generation panels.
One panel measures 2278 x 1134 x 30 mm, that is about 2.6 sqm, weighs approximately 27 kg and gives 610 W, with a power tolerance of up to +3% extra. Indicatively, 100 such panels mean 61 kWp on about 258 sqm of module surface (calculated from power and dimensions). A practical detail for costs: the current stays below 14 A, so the cable losses are smaller and common 25 A string fuses can be used. The manufacturer declares a loss below 1% in the first year and below 0.35% per year thereafter, with a 15-year product warranty (extendable to 25) and 30 years on performance.
At STC: 610 W, Voc 54.19 V, Vmp 44.88 V, Isc 14.36 A, Imp 13.60 A, 144 N-type ABC cells, power tolerance +3%, NOCT 43 °C. Coefficients -0.26 %/°C for Pmax, -0.22 %/°C for Voc and +0.05 %/°C for Isc; maximum system voltage 1500 V DC; maximum string fuse 25 A; Stäubli MC4 connectors. The manufacturer declares for the series an installed capacity on the same surface more than 5% higher than with TOPCon and more than 12% higher than with PERC. It is dimensioned with three-phase string inverters of 20-125 kW.
Suitable for an industrial hall, a farm or a commercial building with a 50-500 kWp project, where the available surface is limited and as many kWp per square metre as possible are sought.

Specifications confirmed from the manufacturer's datasheet
AIKO-A610-MAH72Mw is part of the Comet 1N72 Mono-Glass series (605-630 W), the AIKO range intended for commercial and industrial projects. The module has 144 N-type ABC (All Back Contact) cells in a format of 2278 x 1134 x 30 mm and reaches 610 W at a module efficiency of 23.6%.
The electrical parameters at STC are Voc 54.19 V, Vmp 44.88 V, Isc 14.36 A and Imp 13.60 A, with a power tolerance of up to +3%. The high working voltage (44.88 V) and the moderate current (below 14 A) reduce the ohmic losses in the cabling and allow strings with high power at a current where 25 A string fuses can be used. The nominal cell temperature (NOCT) is 43 degrees C, and the temperature coefficients are -0.26 %/degree C for power, -0.22 %/degree C for Voc and +0.05 %/degree C for Isc. The maximum system voltage is 1500 V DC.
The ABC technology eliminates the metallisation from the front of the cell, which increases the active surface and improves the behaviour under partial shading and at high temperatures. The manufacturer declares for the series an installed capacity on the same surface more than 5% higher than with TOPCon and more than 12% higher than with PERC, with degradation below 1% in the first year and below 0.35% per year thereafter. The weight of about 27 kg and the aluminium frame make it suitable for the roofs of industrial halls and for ground structures, with Staubli MC4 connectors.
More energy from the same roof area: 600 W from a single module, at 23.2% efficiency, with the contacts moved to the back for a fully active front face.
Fewer parts and faster installation for the same power: 615 W per module, at 23.8% efficiency, in a panel of 27 kg and 2278x1134x30 mm.
455 W and 22.8% efficiency in a 21.5 kg panel, with cells without metal contacts on the front and low losses in heat.
The front of the panel has no metal stripes: 450 W, 22,6% efficiency and only 21,5 kg, with good behaviour under partial shading.
