It’s easy to find endless facts regarding LG’s seemingly impressive solar division elsewhere on the internet (that’s not why you’re here). However, most of these statistics have minimal relevance to how the module will be advantageous in your specific instance (this is why you’re here). Research the particular LG Solar panels you’re interested in against the best known commercially available specifications and discover if the extra value promised exists. Fortunately, the Solar Analytica Assessment Criteria does precisely this for the discerning investor in you.
Manufacturer:
LG.
Series:
Mono X Plus, NeON H, NeON R.
TLDR:
Superior to Elite solar module options ensure LG Solar panels provide high-end value for those conscious of a reliable, long-term energy investment from a trusted brand with Elite guarantee strength.
IMPORTANT: Sand & Dust Resistance certifications are not available for any of the nominated LG Solar panels assessed. LG Solar Global has been contacted and a nil response was recorded leading to a below-average rating in the Sand & Dust Resistance sub-category affecting the overall product rankings. We are seeking this information for these products. Once in receipt (if adequately certified), the module rankings will be updated. Submit to Amendment request >

1. MONO X PLUS: 76/100
The original LG Solar panel launched in 2010 was similarly named the LG mono X series. Over a decade later, expect a far more advanced solar module in the LG Mono X Plus. Adopting a modern half-cut P-Type monocrystalline cell design in three unique formats, each ideal for a best-case scenario, the true strength of the LG Mono X Plus is without a doubt an elite Guarantee rating.
Even though the product guarantee period remains in line with alternative modules in the market with similar design characteristics, LG’s depth of supporting Guarantee factors provide elite assurance for the astute investor. Irrelevant of the technology incorporated, when selecting the LG mono X Plus, your purchasing energy yields guaranteed for the next 15-years by one of the most trusted names in electronic manufacturing history. A key factor many consider a crucial element to any solar energy investment.
Model: Manufacturers model name. Output: Standard Test Conditions (STC) peak wattage range. App. (Application): Manufacturers recommended application – Residential or Industry. Density: Maximum Power density per square meter at NOCT of the highest output module. Class. (Classification): Solar Analytica classification of the ranking point range. Rank: Solar Analytica average ranking points across all categories out of 5 maximum points per category.

It's the evolved version of the awarded NeON 2, with an ability to exceed yield expectations in real-world conditions through superior Efficiency characteristics.

2. NeON H: 84/100
If only it were possible to obtain Sand and Dust resistance certification, the LG NeON H would be one of the few overall Above Avg (Cat4) elite solar panels ranked in today’s market. We’re still searching, however, if you can source this before we do, please submit it here. Alternatively, suppose Sand and Dust resistance isn’t such a defining factor. In that case, the LG NeON H solar module proves to be a worthy, high-specification candidate for a diverse range of solar energy investment projects built on an N-Type monocrystalline foundation.
It’s the evolved version of the awarded NeON 2, with an ability to exceed yield expectations in real-world conditions through superior Efficiency characteristics. To be released in 2022 (selected global markets), the LG NeON H+ presents an increased Watt-class many seek without being as large as the 144-cell variant. At 21.2%, the NeON H+ is identical to the baseline NeON H (160 W/m2 NOCT) with an additional row of cells to achieve the greater power class, despite the overlapping cell technology included.
Historically, evidence suggests that a solar module’s ability to surpass time is only as good as its installation (including logistic channels from the factory to the installation location). LG arguably possesses one of the better installer networks of affiliated installers towards greater buyer confidence. A highly regarded installer network globally of influential installers with an intimate knowledge of the LG NeON H variants continue to ensure this module will remain one of the better performing solar panels over time.

1. NEON R: 88/100
You don’t like losing much, do you? Therefore, why shouldn’t you have one of the best performing solar energy systems on the street? If you’re considering the LG NeON R range, money’s no object. Long-lasting superior energy harvesting ability is your goal in a technologically elite fashion. Don’t worry about ROI. You’re maximising every square meter of surface area potential, and that is truly admirable. Humanity and the environment, thanks you, as you’re investing in one of the most advanced solar modules available to ensure investment into sustainable, ultra-efficient solar module development continues to thrive. As they say, “not all superheroes wear capes”.
There’s good reason why the LG NeON R remains at the pinnacle of the LG suite of solar module options. It’s fundamentally designed to be a super energy-dense (167 W/m2 NOCT max) solar module. As such, an elite Design (91.4/100) is further enhanced via combined superior durability characteristics (84.4/100) that increase to elite with adequate Sand & Dust resistance certifications (currently not Solar Analytica Verified).
The NeON R surges as an upper-elite solar module in Efficiency, Performance and Guarantee criteria. 22.1% module efficiency combined with a -0.29%oC temperature coefficient ensures an excellent energy harvesting ability of a nominated area with temperature derating factors applied. Performance shall degrade no more than 8% after 25-years in the field and is further supported by LG’s, more comprehensive than most, 25-year product guarantee.

it's one of the few blue-chip options you can choose from towards a superior energy investment.
1.OVERALL: 83/100
From the Mono X Plus through to the NeON R, LG solar panels are what you select when the requirement to do something well once exists. They’re not the cheapest, but that’s not what you want. LG Solar panels, in general, present three distinct options that suit a best-case scenario of discerning energy investors. The mono X Plus provides LG engineering prowess and quality combined with arguably one of the most secure solar module guarantees internationally. Meanwhile, the NeON H offers proven N-Type monocrystalline cell technology evolved from one of the most awarded module designs in recent history with an added 10-year warranty advantage (25-year total). Finally, NeON R modules ensure maximum energy harvesting ability from any nominated space (W/m2).
Potentially the greatest attribute towards all LG Solar Panels within the 2022 range isn’t found on a data sheet. It requires years of diligent selection criteria, fine-tuning and educating that alternative manufacturers have only just started to develop—the LG certified installer network. Certified installer programs such as LG’s that rewards integrity are one of the least considered yet should be one of the most critical aspects of solar module selection. You may spend a little more on the overall system. Still, you can rest assured that the manufacturer (LG) has completed much of your leg-work to ensure you receive the longevity you are paying for within a particular product less likely to void the all-important guarantee criteria.
Considering any of the LG solar panels available in 2022/23 offers more than just a solar panel, it’s one of the few blue-chip solar module options you can choose from towards a superior energy investment. Reward yourself.
*Denotes the LG Solar range Editors Choice.
The affordability of nominated LG Solar panels historically aligns with the scale of specifications below. Expect the LG mono X Plus to be the most affordable LG solar module option, followed by the LG NeON H range. As the pinnacle of specification within the LG solar range, the LG NeON R appeals to the enthusiastic energy investor who seeks nothing less than optimum performance.
