A Guide to LG Solar Panels
Consumers have consistently made LG Solar Panels their top choice for solar energy, thanks to their top-rated efficiency, high power performance, and long-lasting warranties.
As a leading manufacturer of solar technology, LG Solar continues to lead the pack in creating solar solutions that are highly efficient t converting sunlight into usable energy and reduce the financial burden on installation costs.
Among the top solar panel system brands, LG Solar continues to hold the top spot for requested solar panel installation. Let’s take a look at how LG has built a line of solar panels that are top of their class, and how you can work with our team to bring solar energy solutions to your home or business.
Why Choose LG Solar Panels
When considering solar panels, there are four main characteristics you should consider: efficiency, price, performance, and warranty. By considering the pros and cons of different solar panel manufacturers along these metrics, you can quickly discover which option may be best for your energy needs.
We have broken down each of those four metrics below, showing the reasons that consumers have consistently made LG Solar Panels their top choice for solar energy.
Top-Rated Efficiency
When it comes to solar energy, you need to install a solar panel that is highly efficient at capturing the available light and converting it quickly into usable electricity. Depending on the efficiency of a panel, you may see different results in how much electricity is generated and used by your home.
LG solar panels vary in efficiency depending on the level and model that you purchase for your residential or commercial use. At their highest LG solar panels can deliver up to 21.4% efficiency. The range of efficiency from the LG panel line allows for consumers to select a product that fits their true electricity needs while maintaining the right upfront purchase costs.
High-Power Performance
How can you truly measure a metric such as “power” when it comes to solar energy? Luckily, with all solar panels using the same energy source (natural sunlight), a metric known as temperature coefficient can be used to measure performance across makes and models.
When it comes to general performance regardless of weather conditions, a solar panel will operate best at a temperature hovering around 25° C. With the hot Australian sun beating down on your solar panels, it can be helpful to know how increased temperatures impact power and performance.
As your panel’s temperature increases a degree above this ideal temperature range, the solar panel’s performance decreases by the temperature coefficient. This is vital, as in the Australian climate, it is likely that you will experience far more days of high heat and sunlight than cool and cloudy weather. Knowing the temperature coefficient metric can help you determine which solar panel is the best solution for providing high-performance year-round.
Long-Lasting Warranties
Nearly any solar panel manufacturer and solar installer will offer warranties for their products and LG is no different, providing a very large and comprehensive warranty for their panels.
Leading the pack, the LG product warranty is more than double many competitor’s standard 10 and 12 year product warranty. Consumers get a 25 year Manufacturer’s Warranty on the LG NeON2 and LG NeON R modules against any manufacturing fault, as well as a 25 year Output Warranty to ensure the solar power panels will still produce at least 90.08% of their nominated output in 25 years for the NeON 2 and 90.8% for the NeON R. LG also covers the labour and transport in areas within 80kms to capital cities; please read the LG warranty conditions for details.
LG panels are also ensured to not generate fewer watts than rated on the name plate; as the LG output tolerance is up to 3%, a new 350W module will always give you an output of more than 350W*, such as 352 or 354W. This means you get what you pay for. In the case of some cheaper panels some have a +/- 3% output tolerance, meaning a 326W panel can still be called a 330W panel.
*under test conditions at 25C ambient.
Lastly, LG’s warranty is a transferable, meaning that if you sell your house the new owners gain the benefits of the remaining warranty period. Some other manufacturers' warranties are not transferable.
LG Solar gives you the power to choose
Whether you’re looking to add to your existing system or maximising your solar output, all of the LG Solar modules are backed by one of the most comprehensive warranty programs in the industry.
