Timeline
2024: AIKO entered the Australian market.
28-29 October 2026: All-Energy Australia held in Melbourne, where the Gen 4 agreements were signed.
Q3 2026: AIKO returned to profit.
Market Landscape
AIKO's position in the SolarQuotes Installers' Choice Awards in 2025 and 2026, and its share of active monthly solar proposals in OpenSolar quoting, show installer preference shaping the Australian panel market. The Gen 4 agreements extend that preference into volume commitments as the company returns to profit.
Australian installers and households gain access to Gen 4 back-contact panels once they are listed by the Clean Energy Council. Buyers comparing quotes may see AIKO panels more often, given its high share of active monthly solar proposals in OpenSolar.
The takeaway
Installer rankings and quoting data can be useful signals when comparing solar panel brands, but buyers should still check Clean Energy Council listings and supply timing before committing.
