The quick answer: AIKO all back contact (ABC) panels have ranked No. 1 for module efficiency in TaiyangNews' monthly listing since March 2023, with no silver lines on the front, better output in heat and a clean all-black look. Rezeca Renewables is an AIKO Certified Installer for Singapore (2026). Rezeca has worked with AIKO since 2024, when it brought in one of the first containers of AIKO ABC panels to reach Singapore, and AIKO acknowledged the team as a Global Zero Carbon Pioneer in November 2026.

Key facts (last verified 4 November 2026)

  • Rezeca: AIKO Certified Installer, Singapore 2026 (AIKO Energy APAC).
  • AIKO: BloombergNEF Tier 1 since August 2024; No. 1 in TaiyangNews' module efficiency listing every month since March 2023.
  • Home panel: AIKO 490 Wp Neostar, up to 24.5% efficiency, 30-year product warranty and 30-year performance guarantee.
  • Commercial panel: AIKO 670 Wp, 15-year product warranty.
  • Rezeca workmanship warranty: 2 years, extendable up to 10 years.

Where can you buy AIKO solar panels in Singapore?

Buy them through an AIKO Certified Installer. Rezeca Renewables is certified by AIKO Energy APAC as an AIKO installer for Singapore (2026) and has installed AIKO ABC panels since 2024. Rezeca supplies the panels and handles the design, SP Group and other approvals, installation by its in-house team, and warranty claims with AIKO for as long as the panel warranty runs.

Before you buy AIKO panels from anyone, ask to see the installer's AIKO certificate and check that the panels come with AIKO's product and performance warranty.

Why is AIKO a premium solar panel brand?

Most panels have thin silver lines printed across the front of every cell, which shade part of it. AIKO's ABC technology moves every contact to the back, so the whole front catches light.

  • Efficiency: No. 1 in TaiyangNews' monthly listing of commercially available module efficiency every month since March 2023, shared with LONGi at 25% in October 2026. The 490 Wp home panel reaches up to 24.5%, so smaller roofs fit a bigger system.
  • Heat: loses 0.26% of output per °C, against about 0.29% for typical TOPCon panels, which matters on a hot Singapore roof.
  • Shade and looks: built-in partial-shading optimisation, and an all-black finish with no visible lines.
  • Bankable: on BloombergNEF's Tier 1 list since August 2024, a measure of whether banks finance projects using the maker's panels.
  • Staying power: founded in 2009, listed in Shanghai, with more than 1,000 patents and R&D centres in Germany and China. AIKO returned to profit in Q3 2026, with revenue up 68% year on year.

That record is why Rezeca set up its connection with AIKO directly in 2024.

How do AIKO ABC panels compare with TOPCon panels?

AIKO Neostar 490 Wp (ABC)Typical TOPCon (e.g. Trina Vertex S+)

TOPCon panels remain a sound, lower-cost choice, and Rezeca installs both. Rezeca's guide to solar panel brands in Singapore compares AIKO, Trina, LONGi, Jinko and REC in full.

Are solar panels made in China good quality?

Yes, from established makers. According to the International Energy Agency, Chinese factories made around 80% of the world's solar modules and about 90% of its wafers and polysilicon in 2024. That scale is why prices have fallen and why new technologies such as ABC reach mass production there first. Most Tier 1 makers, including AIKO, Trina, LONGi and Jinko, are Chinese.

How to choose a solar panel and installer in Singapore

  • Panel: Tier 1 maker, efficiency, heat performance, and product and performance warranty.
  • Installer: BCA registration, years in Singapore, landed-home projects you can see, an in-house team, and who lodges warranty claims after the workmanship warranty ends.

Rezeca has installed solar in Singapore since 2009, with 1,500+ installations, 45+ MWp and a 4.9-star Google rating. See solar warranties and aftercare for how claims work.
