LG Electronics received its third consecutive Intersolar Award for its new innovative Neon 2 Bifacial solar module at Intersolar Europe. LG first received the award with the Mono X Neon in 2013 and again in 2015 for the Neon 2. While conventional solar modules have opaque backside, the Neon 2 Bifacial features transparent materials on both sides. This allows backside of the panel to collect light reflected from the ground and greatly boosts overall efficiency.
The panel’s front side alone is capable of generating up to 310 watts and under optimal conditions, the energy gathering capabilities of the rear panel increase power generation by an additional maximum 30 percent. The total power generated by each panel puts the Neon 2 Bifacial in the same range as 400 watts high generation modules.
Featuring LG Electronics’ Cello Technology, Neon 2 Bifacial minimizes energy loss by diversifying electrical paths. Typical solar panels have only three electrical paths but Cello Technology replaces those with 12 thin wires to allow electric current to flow more freely and efficiently. The advanced solar modules are particularly effective when installed on skyscraper rooftops and near freeways as sound absorbing walls because it can be installed vertically.
