The MonoX NeON 2 with Cello Technology is a major contender for industry award
London, UK – 27 May, 2015
LG Solar, the solar business unit of LG Electronics, has announced its product; the MonoX NeON 2 (NeON 2) with Cello Technology has been short-listed for the Intersolar Awards 2015. Part of Intersolar Europe, these awards bring together the solar industry’s brightest to showcase and recognise innovation.
NeON 2 with Cello Technology: The LG Neon 2 (LG310N1C-G4)
The successor to the MonoX NeON, the NeON 2 adopts Cello Technology. Cello Technology uses 12 thin wires instead of 3 bus bars, to improve the output and increase the reliability of the module. The NeON 2 demonstrates LG’s efforts to increase customer’s values beyond efficiency. It features enhanced warranty, durability, performance under real environment, and aesthetic design suitable for roofs.
With its newly reinforced frame design, LG has extended the warranty of the NeON 2 for an additional two years. As a result of its new design, the NeON 2 can endure a static snow load up to 6000 Pa, and a static wind load up to 5400 Pa. Additionally, the NeON 2 also has an enhanced performance warranty. The annual degradation has fallen from 0.7%/year to 0.6%/year. Even after 25 years, the cell guarantees 2.4% more output than the previous modules.
The NeON 2 has a double-sided cell structure for increased efficiency. Just like the front of the cell, the back of the cell will absorb any light – meaning light reflected from the roof will be absorbed to generate additional power.
“We are extremely pleased that our new flagship module; the NeON 2, has been short-listed for this year’s Intersolar Award. This short-listing demonstrates our leadership within the industry not to mention our commitment to research and development. It is fantastic to see our latest innovations have not gone unnoticed in the highly competitive solar market,’’ explains Michael Harre, vice president of the EU Solar Business Group at LG Electronics Germany. “Cello Technology is one of our latest innovations, providing a leap in performance whilst extending the warranty and improving the design of the NeON 2.’’
