The Cello technology (a dense grid of thin wires replacing standard busbars) reduces resistive losses and increases the cell's active surface area. - **Bifacial dual-side energy generation** - With a transparent rear side, the module captures light reflected off the ground, allowing up to 30% additional energy yield versus standard monofacial modules according to the manufacturer — a key advantage for ground-mount installations and light-colored flat roofs. - **25-year product and power warranty** - The manufacturer guarantees both a 25-year product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty, with a declared output level of 96.4% of rated power after 25 years — a competitive figure versus many contemporaneous Tier-1 panels offering linear warranties dropping to 84-87% over the same period. - **Half-cut cells resilient to partial shading** - The half-cut cell design (144 cells, 6x24 layout) limits power losses under partial shading and reduces I²R current losses, translating into higher and more stable real-world energy yield. - **Established Tier-1 manufacturer since 1958** - LG is a South Korean conglomerate operating since 1958, with decades of experience manufacturing high-quality electronic components, historically translating into strong build quality and production control for the NeON H BiFacial series. ## Cons - **Discontinued production — limited availability** - LG officially ended global solar panel production in Q2 2022 (board decision dated February 22, 2022), meaning no new shipments of the NeON H BiFacial series and limited long-term availability of warranty service and replacement parts, despite declared after-sales support. - **Efficiency below current segment leaders** - The module efficiency of 19.4-19.8% is notably lower than comparable current panels in the same power class (430-440 Wp), e.g. Lina Energy LEPV 132 ULTRA PREMIUM (22.37%), Luxor Solar ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCON (22.86%), or JA Solar JAM54D40 (22.5%) — a gap exceeding 3 percentage points, meaning lower yield per unit of roof area. ## About this series The LG NeON H BiFacial panel series redefines the concept of energy efficiency through the use of **bifacial light absorption**. By utilizing energy reflected from the ground, these modules generate significantly more electricity than traditional monofacial solutions, making them the ideal choice for ground-mounted installations and flat roofs covered with light-colored membranes. At the heart of the design are **high-efficiency N-type cells**, which are characterized by exceptional resistance to light-induced degradation, translating into stable energy production for decades. The innovative **Cello Technology** replaces standard busbars with a dense network of thin wires, which not only improves aesthetics but, above all, minimizes electrical losses and increases solar absorption. This solution effectively eliminates the problem of limited installation space, allowing for maximum power from the available surface. LG NeON H BiFacial utilizes **half-cut cells (Half-Cut)**, which perform excellently in partial shading conditions, ensuring system continuity even in poor weather. This is a proposition for investors seeking **the highest reliability and durability**, backed by a long-term warranty that realistically secures the profitability of the venture over a very long time horizon. Choosing this series is an investment in premium technology that outperforms standard market solutions in terms of yields from every square meter. ## Notable figures - At 19.4% efficiency, this panel is 2.5pp below the \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median of 21.9% - Power density of 193.7 W/m² is 24.6 W/m² below \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (218.3 W/m²) - needs more roof space - At -0.33%/°C, loses 0.04pp more power per degree than \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (-0.29%/°C) - Bifacial design (70% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-10% yield on ground-mount or white roof - #12735 for efficiency, #8545 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### Are LG NeON H BiFacial solar panels still available for purchase? The LG NeON H BiFacial series is no longer in production. LG Electronics announced its exit from the global solar panel market in February 2022 and ceased all manufacturing by June 30, 2022. Units may still be found through distributors with remaining stock, but availability is limited. Warranties on panels already purchased and installed remain valid and continue to be honored by LG. ### What warranty does the LG NeON H BiFacial come with, and what does it cover? The LG NeON H BiFacial carries a 25-year product warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, alongside a 25-year power output warranty. At the 25-year mark, the module is guaranteed to retain at least 96.4% of its rated power output. This is one of the tightest degradation thresholds available in the industry, reflecting the long-term stability of the N-type cell technology used in this series. ### How much more energy does the LG NeON H BiFacial produce compared to a standard monofacial panel? The bifacial design allows the LG NeON H BiFacial to harvest irradiance from both the front and rear sides of the module, capturing light reflected from the ground, roofing membrane, or snow. According to LG data, the energy yield gain can reach up to 30% over a conventional single-sided module. The actual bifacial gain depends on surface albedo, mounting height above ground, and installation tilt angle. ### What type of installation is the LG NeON H BiFacial 440 Wp best suited for? This series performs best in ground-mounted systems and flat-roof installations with a bright white membrane or light-colored gravel, where the rear side of the panel receives significant reflected irradiance. Agrivoltaic setups over light-colored crops are also a strong match. On typical sloped residential rooftops, rear-side irradiance is negligible, so a high-efficiency monofacial module of comparable wattage would often be a more cost-effective choice. ### How do the N-type cells in the LG NeON H BiFacial differ from standard PERC cells? The N-type cells in the LG NeON H BiFacial contain no boron, which virtually eliminates light-induced degradation (LID). This results in more stable and consistently higher energy output over the entire system lifetime. Conventional PERC cells (P-type) are susceptible to LID and can lose a few percent of rated power within the first weeks of operation. N-type cells also exhibit a more favorable temperature coefficient, maintaining performance better under high-irradiance, high-temperature conditions. ### Do LG NeON H BiFacial half-cut panels handle partial shading well? Yes, the half-cut cell design splits each cell into two independent halves, reducing resistive losses and limiting the impact of shadows on overall module output. Even when part of the panel is shaded by a chimney, antenna, or debris, the unshaded cells continue operating with significantly lower losses than in a conventional full-cell module. Combined with Cello Technology — a dense network of fine wires replacing standard busbars — the NeON H BiFacial series maintains consistent energy production under variable weather conditions. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/LG-NeON_H_BiFacial_N2T_E6_EN-2-304843d4958e.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A480-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a480-mah54mw) | 480 W | +50 W, cooler, +4.7 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-54HG-480M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-54hg-480m) | 480 W | +50 W, cooler, +4.7 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM480N-48QL6-DB-F2-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm480n-48ql6-db-f2-eu) | 480 W | +50 W, cooler, +4.6 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA96N-PRO-480W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka96n-pro-480w) | 480 W | +50 W, +4.6 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [LG LG435N2T-E6](https://comparepv.com/panel/lg-lg435n2t-e6) | 435 W | +0.2 pp | | [LG LG440N2T-E6](https://comparepv.com/panel/lg-lg440n2t-e6) | 440 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA120N-PRO-590W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka120n-pro-590w) | 590 W | +160 W, +4.4 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA120N-PRO-585W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka120n-pro-585w) | 585 W | +155 W, +4.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Bisol BGO 580](https://comparepv.com/panel/bisol-bgo-580) | 580 W | +150 W, +4.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA120N-PRO-580W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka120n-pro-580w) | 580 W | +150 W, +4.0 pp, +5 yr warranty | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/lg-lg430n2t-e6 Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
