LG’s New Solar Panel With Integrated Micro-Inverter Aims to Simplify Design Process

by Nicolette Emmino

LG Electronics is debuting its high-performance, fully integrated AC solar panel with a micro-inverter, expanding the company’s portfolio of advanced solar panels showcased At the 2019 Solar Power International Conference, LG Electronics will showcase its new AC solar panel with a micro-inverter.

Recessed into the frame of the solar module, the integrated micro-inverter allows for the NeON R ACe to be an ideal solution for both installers and homeowners, saving time, space and money, compared with conventional DC solar modules that require a separate inverter.

Recessed into the frame of the solar module, the integrated micro-inverter, designed by LG Electronics, allows for the NeON R ACe to be an ideal solution for both installers and homeowners, saving time, space and money, compared with conventional DC solar modules that require a separate inverter.

The new LG NeON® R ACe solar panel will be available to U.S. customers later this year and will create a home energy system with a faster, simpler installation process, smart monitoring and remote servicing, and flexibility in creating module arrays. A single 25-year limited warranty covers both the panel and the inverter. As with all LG solar panels, the LG NeON R ACe provides top-level output and a refined visual appeal.

The NeON R ACe solar power module for residential applications produces a direct current power output up to 375W along with its newly integrated 320W micro-inverter. Recessed into the frame of the solar module, the integrated micro-inverter, designed by LG Electronics, allows for the NeON R ACe to be an ideal solution for both installers and homeowners, saving time, space and money, compared with conventional DC solar modules that require a separate inverter.

This integrated design eliminates the need for a separate inverter, thereby reducing clutter from outside walls and rooms within the home. Requiring only two types of accessories, it provides straightforward logistics and reduces the time needed for preparation and installation.

For added convenience, the LG NeON R ACe provides a user-friendly app-based monitoring service system called EnerVu. Using the app, installers and homeowners can monitor the system’s energy flow from any location and, if a technical issue arises, alert LG customer service to help address it remotely. By adopting advanced communication technology, the LG NeON ACe is easy to commission and monitor compared to traditional micro-inverter and power optimizer solutions. Long cables and a reliable connector provide flexibility to design arrays in non-traditional ways to maximize utilization of roof-top space.

LG’s 25-year limited warranty for products, parts and performance applies to the NeON® R ACe and covers both the panel and the inverter, giving homeowners and installers a greater degree of investment security from a brand they can trust.

The new LG NeON R ACe provides a premium, clean and sleek aesthetic for residential and light commercial applications. These new solar modules can easily be configured to fit a variety of areas where space and budget allow. The innovative elimination of electrodes from the front of the module and relocation to the back creates a seamless array of panels.
