    “CELLO” Technology Increases Power

    “CELLO” Multi wire busbar cell technology lowers electrical resistance and increases panel efficiency, giving more power per panel and provides a more uniform look to the panel.

    12 Years Product Warranty (Parts & Labour)

    LG has extended the product warranty of the LG Mono X® 2 by an additional 2 years form 10 years to 12 years. This includes coverage for labour and transport.

    Additional Certification

    LG Mono X® 2 panels have received additional certification including for; Salt Mist Corrosion to maximum severity 6. Ammonia Resistance certification and PID Resistance Tests.

    Anti PID Technology for Yield Security

    PID (Potential Induced Degradation) affects the long term ability of panels to produce high level electricity output. LG panels have anti PID technology and have been successfully tested by leading third party laboratories regarding PID resistance.

    Additional Features

    • Cyclone Wind Load Resistance

      LG modules have a strong double walled frame and screwed corners. When it comes to wind forces (rear load) many competitor modules are certified to 2400 Pascals. LG modules are certified to more than double - 5400 Pascals, making them very sturdy and strong.

    • Extensive Testing Programme

      LG solar panels are tested between 2 to 4 times the International Standards at our in-house testing laboratories, ensuring a very robust and longer lasting solar module.

    • Fully Automated Production in South Korea

      All LG solar panels are manufactured in a custom designed and fully automated production line by LG in Gumi, South Korea ensuring extremely low tolerances. This means great consistency between panels.

    • Great Visual Appearance

      LG Mono X® 2 panels have been designed with appearance in mind. Their black cells, black frames and thinner wires give an aesthetically pleasing uniform black appearance. Your home deserves the LG Mono X® 2.

    • Improved 25 Year Performance Warranty

      The initial degradation of cells has been improved from -3% to -2%, in the 1st year and the annual rate of degradation has fallen from -0.7%/year to -0.6%/ year thereafter. This brings an 83.6% warranted output after 25 years, compared to 80% for many standard panels.

    • Improved High Temperature Performance

      Solar panels slowly lose ability to generate power as they get hotter. LG Mono X® 2, has an improved temperature co-efficient to our previous model, which means in high temperatures LG Mono X® 2 panels will deliver higher output.

    • More Power per Square Metre

      LG Mono X® 2’s 285W panels are a similar physical size to many conventional 250W panels. This means with the LG Mono X® 2’s 285W you get 14% more electricity per square metre than a 250W panel. So you can install more kW of solar on your roof with the LG Mono X® 2.

    • Multi Anti-reflective Coatings Increase Output

      LG is using an anti-reflective coating on the panels glass as well as on the cell surface to ensure more light is absorbed in the panel and not reflected. More absorbed light means more electricity generation.

    • Positive Tolerance (0/+3%)

      If we sell you a 285 Watt panel then the flash test of this panel will show somewhere between 285W and 293.5W. Some competitor panels have -/+ tolerance, so you could get a flash test result below the rated Watt, meaning you pay for Watts you never get.

    • Proven Field Performance

      LG has been involved in a number of comparison tests of the LG panels against many other brand panels. LG Mono X® models are consistently among the best performing in these tests.

    • Reduced LID

      The Mono X® 2 has reduced the initial degradation of solar cells by applying LG new LiLy (LIDimprovement for Lifetime Yield) Technology, which controls the reaction of Boron and Oxygen, a key factor of LID (Light Induced Degradation).

    • Strict Quality Control Reliable for the Future

      The quality control of LG world-class production processes is monitored and improved to Six Sigma quality control standards, which includes 500+ monitoring points to effectively maintain and improve our uncompromising standards.
