LG Electronics USA has introduced the LG NeON 2 ACe, the latest AC solar module featuring LG’s own integrated microinverter designed for easy installation, monitoring and use. The new addition to LG’s best-selling NeON 2 lineup, available now, builds on LG’s extensive array of solar products, providing homeowners and installers with a wide selection of options tailored for each individual home or building.
The LG NeON 2 ACe is a solution for those seeking high-efficiency and performance along with a faster installation process. This new 60-cell panel features a power class of up to 365W, along with its integrated 320W microinverter. The new NeON 2 ACe panel is the second module within LG Solar’s advanced portfolio that features an integrated microinverter (following the LG NeON R ACe launched at 2019 Solar Power International).
The design of LG’s new smart AC system allows for the factory-installed microinverter to be recessed into the frame of the panel and serve as one unit in conjunction with the junction box. The panel offers a straightforward installation, simplified accessories and no exposed DC connections. From an installation perspective, this design not only reduces Balance of System requirements compared to a typical inverter that might clutter a garage or outside walls, but it also reduces the opportunity for field installation errors.
The LG NeON 2 ACe has been designed with aesthetics in mind using thin, circular-shaped wires that give it a minimalistic appearance, thanks to its award-winning Cello technology. The implementation of this technology also improves the opportunity for light absorption resulting in an increase of power output.
LG’s NeON 2 ACe panels offer a 25-year limited warranty, which covers workmanship, performance and a labor cost reimbursement (up to $450). Because the microinverter is built onto the solar panel, warranty claims are handled by changing the entire module instead of replacing sub-components or attempting field fixes. This eliminates time spent diagnosing panel or inverter issues.
The LG NeON 2 ACe also includes a lifetime access to LG’s EnerVu monitoring platform so both customers and installers can track the long-term reliable performance and the real-time analytics of their solar system. It can also alert LG customer service to help address a technical issue remotely if one were to arise.
