FAQ - Sofar 3kW Hybrid Solar Kit & AIKO Panels

1. Why is AIKO ABC technology considered ‘top-of-the-range’? +
ABC (All Back Contact) technology places all electrical contacts on the back of the cell. This eliminates visible metal lines on the front, allowing for maximum absorption area and an exceptional efficiency of 23.8%. In addition to the sleek “Full Black” aesthetic, this significantly improves performance in the event of partial shading.
2. Does this kit come with a battery? +
No, this kit is delivered "Battery Ready". The Sofar Solar ESI-3K-S1 inverter is hybrid, meaning it is ready to manage storage. You can install the kit now to reduce your bills immediately and add BTS high-voltage battery modules later without changing the inverter.
3. How does the Wi-Fi production monitoring work? +
The kit includes a Wi-Fi Stick that plugs directly into the inverter. Once connected to your home network, you can use the Solarman Smart app to view, in real time on your smartphone, the power generated by your panels and your household’s consumption.
4. What are the advantages of N-type cells compared to P-type (Perc) cells? +
N-type cells offer higher efficiency (up to 23%+) and lower annual degradation (less than 0.5%). They are also less sensitive to high temperatures, enabling them to generate more energy on hot days compared to conventional Perc cells.
5. Can I sell my surplus electricity? +
Yes. The Sofar Solar hybrid inverter allows you to feed surplus, unused energy back into the national grid. Depending on the regulations in your country or region, this may entitle you to a feed-in tariff or an energy credit from your supplier.
6. What is the warranty on the equipment in this kit? +
This kit comes with robust manufacturer’s warranties: the Sofar Solar inverter is covered by a 5-year warranty, whilst the AIKO Neostar panels offer a 25-year product warranty and an exceptional 30-year performance warranty (with degradation limited to less than 0.35% per year).
