LG Solar, the solar business unit of LG Electronics (Seoul,Korea) has announced its MonoX NeON 2 (NeON 2) solar photovoltaic (PV) module with Cello Technology has been shortlisted for the Intersolar Award 2015.
Part of Intersolar Europe, these awards bring together the solar industry’s brightest to showcase and recognize innovation, LG Solar emphasizes in a press release.
Cello Technology uses 12 thin wires instead of 3 bus bars
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 PV 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.
“We are extremely pleased that our new flagship module; the NeON 2, has been shortlisted for this year's Intersolar Award. This short-listing demonstrates our leadership within the industry not to mention our commitment to research and development,” explains Michael Harre, vice president of the EU Solar Business Group at LG Electronics Germany.
“It is fantastic to see our latest innovations have not gone unnoticed in the highly competitive solar market. 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.”
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 6,000 Pa, and a static wind load up to 5,400 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, LG Solar notes.
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.
