LG Solar Releases Two-step Solar Panel with Enphase Energy
LG NeON® 2 ACe Simplifies Logistics and Installation Process for Homeowners with Two-Step Roof Installation
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 2017 /3BL Media/ – LG Electronics USA announced the NeON® 2 ACe in collaboration with Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) at Intersolar 2017 this week. The partnership between LG Electronics USA and Enphase Energy, Inc. was forged last year and aimed at making the solar solution an easier one to invest in. LG NeON® 2 ACe is the first of the partnership for residential installation and reduces installation time by half, compared with conventional modules, while also offering cutting edge technology.
Next-Generation AC Solar Modules: A Simplified Energy-Solution
The result of two solar industry pacesetters, LG NeON® 2 ACe brings together high-performance and a simplified user experience, combining the processes of logistics, installation and monitoring. Installation, always a concern for homeowners, becomes a quick, two-step roof installation process with this integrated AC Module - lifting the microinverter out of the flat shipping positon and connecting the cable without the need to install the two products separately. Once roof installation is complete and Enphase’s internal software is set up, Enphase technology boasts remote monitoring and management software which can be controlled from any web connected device.
“We are committed to the possibilities the solar industry has to offer and are dedicated to delivering products that appeal to the consumer in every aspect,” said Stephen Hahm, Vice President of LG Electronics USA’s Energy Solutions business. “This partnership with Enphase has allowed us to streamline the process for consumers, appealing to a wider consumer base while still delivering on the efficiency consumers expects from LG Electronics.”
“Enphase was founded with the vision of making solar simple, and energy smart,” said Paul Nahi, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. “Our collaboration with LG on this Enphase EnergizedTM AC module is another example of how we are executing on that vision.”
Advanced Technology, Same Durability and Warranty, Added Safety
On the surface, LG NeON®ACe utilizes brand new cello technology, which replaces the industry standard three busbars with 30 thin wires, enhancing output and reliability. This market-leading technology allows for more energy-efficiency and premium temperature performance characteristics. Aesthetically, these innovations are designed to improved curb-appeal for the homeowner, creating a sleek, black visual.
The energy created by this elegant solar panel can be safely converted to AC voltage, another product of this revolutionary partnership. A strategically positioned 15mm distance separates the DC module and the microinverter, mitigating any impact to performance and reliability by allowing sufficient air-flow for cooling.
LG NeON® 2 ACe also comes equip with LG Electronics’ robust 12-year unit warranty and a 25-year warranty for the microinverter. LG Electronics is committed to exceeding customer’s values and expectations beyond efficiency. The anodized aluminum frame of the panel can endure a front load up to 6,000Pa and a rear load up to 5,400Pa. This product is built to last.
Intersolar Award-Winning Technologies
LG earned four Intersolar Awards for the innovative NeON® 2 BiFacial solar module at Intersolar Europe in 2016. LG first received the award with the NeON® in 2013 followed by NeON 2 and Mono X NeON® in 2015 and again in 2016 for the NeON® R.
