Efficiency refers to the amount of energy a solar technology can produce from a specific amount of sunlight and it is worth considering prior to your purchase. Understanding the technology, knowing the terminology, and learning what kinds of questions to ask installers will make it easier for you to pick a panel that will generate more energy, more of the time.
Solar Panel Efficiency is Improving
Back around 2012, the most efficient panel on the market was able to capture 17.8 percent of the energy available to it. Today, the standard panel has around 18.6 percent efficiency, while the LG NeON® R offers more than 20 percent efficiency. The high-efficiency panel can generate almost 20 percent more energy than the conventional panel. Over the decades, more efficient solar panels will produce significantly more power than standard panels of the same size. This helps reduce your family’s demand for energy derived from the burning of fossil fuels and creates more energy that you can potentially sell back to your local utility provider. LG is able to provide high-quality, high-efficiency solar panels due to our extensive research into the most efficient technologies.
LG's high-efficiency panels offer more electricity producing power than a standard panel of the same size.
Efficient Solar Panels Help You Maximize Your Roof's Potential
In many cases available, unshaded roof space is the limiting factor for the size of the system you can install. In this case, efficiency is critical to determining the total output a system can generate. Efficient panels generate more energy in less space. For example, LG's 330W NeON® 2 is the same size as the standard 270W panel, an increase of 22% more electricity generated per square foot.
LG's high-efficiency panels help you maximize your roof space.
Efficiency Means More Peak Performance Hours, Every Day
While high-efficiency panels produce more than their standard counterparts when the sun is highest in the sky, they also provide so much more than that. They offer a longer peak period than their counterparts and produce more energy when the sun is not at its peak.
High-efficiency panels will also produce more energy in sub-optimal weather conditions, such as rain, snow or cloud cover. They are able to generate more power, more of the time.
Questions to Ask Your Installer
What panels are you recommending for my project, and why?
Is your recommendation based on long-term value or short-term cost savings?
Have you accounted for the unique conditions that may affect my roof (snow, shade, heat)? If so, how has that influenced the product you are recommending?
