2 - THE PANEL OF THE FUTURE AVAILABLE TODAY

The new LG NeON™ 2 has seen many improvements, from longer warranties and higher efficiency to stronger frames and better wind loading. This panel is ideal for homes seeking a visually pleasing solar panel and for roofs where space is tight or where future system expansions are considered e.g. to incorporate battery storage or electric car charging.

The LG NeON™ modules with their bi-facial cells and CELLO technology absorb light from the front and the back of the module. This technology sets a new standard for innovation and was recognised with the 2015 Photovoltaic Innovation Award at the Intersolar Industry Event in Germany.

Great Visual Appearance

LG NeON™ 2 panels have been designed with appearance in mind. Their black cells, black frames and thinner wires give an aesthetically pleasing uniform black appearance. Your home deserves the LG NeON™ 2.

12 Years Product Warranty (Parts & Labour)

LG has extended the product warranty of the

LG NeON™ 2 by an additional 2 years form

10 years to 12 years. This includes coverage for labour and transport.

More Power per Square Metre

LG NeON™ 2’s 315W are a similar physical size to many conventional 250W panels. This means with the

LG NeON™ 2 315W you get 26% more electricity per square metre than a 250W panel. So you can install more kW of solar on your roof with the LG NeON™ 2.

Improved 25 Year Performance Warranty

The initial degradation of cells has been improved from

-3% to -2%, in the 1st year and the annual rate of degradation has fallen from -0.7%/year to -0.6%/ year thereafter. This brings an 83.6% warranted output after

25 years, compared to 80% for many standard panels.

ABOUT LG ELECTRONICS

LG Electronics embarked on a solar energy research programme in 1985, using our vast experience in semi-conductors, chemistry and electronics. In 2010, LG Solar successfully released its first Mono X® series, and LG Solar modules are now available in 32 countries. In 2013 and 2015 the LG NeON™ range won the acclaimed Intersolar Award in

Germany, which demonstrates LG Solar’s lead in innovation and commitment to the renewable energy industry. With over 300 lesser known brands panels selling in Australia, LG solar panels offer a peace of mind solution.

KEY FEATURES

Proven Field Performance

LG has been involved in a number of comparison tests of the LG panels against many other brand panels. LG NeON™ models are consistently among the best performing in these tests.

Additional Certification

LG NeON™ 2 panels have received additional certification including for; Salt Mist Corrosion to maximum severity 6. Ammonia Resistance certification and PID Resistance Tests.

Strict Quality Control

Reliable for the Future

The quality control of LG world-class production processes is monitored and improved to Six

Sigma quality control standards, which includes

500+ monitoring points to effectively maintain and improve our uncompromising standards.

Multi Anti-reflective Coatings

Increase Output

LG is using an anti-reflective coating on the panels glass as well as on the cell surface to ensure more light is absorbed in the panel and not reflected. More absorbed light means more electricity generation.

Improved High Temperature Performance

Solar panels slowly lose ability to generate power as they get hotter. LG NeON™ 2, has an improved temperature co-efficient to our previous model, which means in high temperatures LG NeON™ 2 panels will deliver higher output.

“CELLO” Technology Increases Power

“CELLO” Multi wire busbar cell technology lowers electrical resistance and increases panel efficiency, giving more power per panel and provides a more uniform look to the panel.

5400 Pa

5400 Pa

Anti PID

Low LID

The N-type doping of the NeON™ cells results in extremely low Light Induced Degradation (LID) when compared with the standard P-type cells.

This means more electricity generation over the life of the panel.

Extensive Testing Programme

LG solar panels are tested between 2 to 4 times the International Standards at our in-house testing laboratories, ensuring a very robust and longer lasting solar module.

Cyclone Wind Load Resistance

LG modules have a strong double walled frame and screwed corners. When it comes to wind forces (rear load) many competitor modules are certified to 2400 Pascals. LG modules are certified to more than double - 5400 Pascals, making them very sturdy and strong.

Positive Tolerance (0/+3%)

If we sell you a 315 Watt panel then the flash test of this panel will show somewhere between

315W and 324.4W. Some competitor panels have

-/+ tolerance, so you could get a flash test result below the rated Watt, meaning you pay for Watts you never get.

Anti PID Technology for Yield Security

PID (Potential Induced Degradation) affects the long term ability of panels to produce high level electricity output. LG panels have anti PID technology and have been successfully tested by leading third party laboratories regarding PID resistance.

Fully Automated Production in South Korea

All LG solar panels are manufactured in a custom designed and fully automated production line by

LG in Gumi, South Korea ensuring extremely low tolerances. This means great consistency between panels.

LG NeON

TM 2

– ENHANCED. MORE EFFICIENT. ADVANCED.

LG NeON™ 2 solar modules now offer even more performance. Featuring a classy new design and with a total of 60 cells, it can withstand a load of 6,000 pascals. LG is extending its product warranty from 10 to 12 years and improving its linear performance guarantee to at least 83.6 % of nominal output after 25 years.

LOCAL WARRANTY, GLOBAL STRENGTH

LG Solar is part of LG Electronics Inc., a global and financially strong company, with over 50 years of experience in technology.
