Company History<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

LG<\/strong> <\/a>has a long history in solar photovoltaics beginning over 30 years ago when they first began research into silicon crystalline cells. The next 20 years of research and development laid a solid foundation before LG started large scale PV module manufacturing in 2009 at their facility in Gumi, South Korea. LG solar is a subsidiary of massive LG Corporation, the South Korean multinational company with over 220,000 employees globally and total revenue in the tens of billions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After close to 10 years of PV module manufacturing LG are now onto their fourth generation panels and produced over 2GW of panels in 2017. As a Tier 1 manufacturer holding numerous awards, ultra-efficient cell technology and industry leading warranty there are very few solar companies who can compete at this level of quality, service and reliability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Australia and north America, LG modules although more expensive than the competition, are very popular and it\u2019s not hard to see why. LG panels are highly rated by customers and solar installers alike as they not only look impressive with the black anodised aluminium frames but the construction quality, detail and finish are of the highest standard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Panel And PV Cell Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While most manufacturers produce a range of both mono and polycrystalline panels, LG only manufacture monocrystalline N-type cells which have greater efficiency and lower degradation compared to more common lower cost poly or multicrystalline P-type cells.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The latest generation Neon 2 modules have firmly established LG as the leaders in multi-wire cell technology with 12 round wire busbars and the unique finger design being incorporated into all Neon 2 and Neon 2 bifacial modules. The N-type<\/a> \u2018Cello\u2019 cells look impressive and improve performance and conversion efficiency. Cello technology is explained in more detail in the PV cell technology review<\/a> article.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
