In episode 3 of Energy Matters, host Roshan explored the power of cutting-edge solar technology with AIKO. He visited the home of sustainability advocate Jon Dee in Katoomba, NSW, to see firsthand how AIKO’s advanced solar panels are delivering outstanding energy efficiency. The segment also touched on Jon’s not-for-profit initiative, One Tree Per Child, and the vital role of sustainability in shaping a cleaner future.
About the episode
Roshan’s visit to Jon Dee’s home provided an in-depth look at home energy efficiency and the integration of solar.
Jon and his wife renovated the Katoomba home on a shoestring budget. Where double-glazed windows were prohibitive financially, Jon added hemp curtains to his existing windows for insulation. Small changes around the home can provide significant savings on your energy bills. But the most significant change of all was the addition of solar power.
AIKO’s ABC (All Back Contact) technology was a key focus, with Jon explaining how it enhances energy output, particularly in shaded conditions. By eliminating front-side busbars, this innovation reduces energy loss and improves overall performance, making AIKO panels a game-changer for homeowners seeking efficiency and reliability.






Beyond solar, Jon and Roshan discussed One Tree Per Child, a global initiative co-founded by Jon Dee and Olivia Newton-John. The program has helped plant millions of trees, reinforcing the importance of sustainability beyond just renewable energy solutions.
