San Francisco Bay Area Home Improvement Guide

Your solar installer is an essential partner who can help you find the right fit for your home. A qualified solar installer will perform a site inspection before providing a quote for your system. Your installer should be able to share information on incentives, permitting and financing options in your state and community.

It’s important to work with an installation company that has a solid reputation and doesn’t pressure you into making an uninformed purchase. LG Solar works with a network of local installers, known as LG PROs, who are recognized for their commitment to quality.

• High-efficiency Solar Panels

  When it comes to solar panels, efficiency is key. High-efficiency panels can produce more electricity with smaller panels than lower efficiency models. This means you need fewer panels to meet your power needs. Smaller panels also give your installer more flexibility on smaller roofs or roofs that experience some shading.

  Balancing the investment in the cost of solar modules with their efficiency rating and maximum power output, consumers gain both short-term and long-term benefits from purchasing high-efficiency solar modules. LG Solar’s BiFacial, NeON® 2, and NeON® R modules provide solid options for arrays ranging from small rooftops to large commercial installations.

• Find a Solar System that’s Built to Last

  A solar system is a long-term investment, so the durability of your panels is also important. High-quality solar panels can withstand a variety of weather conditions and climates. From high wind and heat to snow, LG Solar panels are designed to last and perform well year-round.

• Heat

  Many people believe solar panels perform well on hot days, but high heat environments actually decrease energy generation. Solar panels with a low “temperature coefficient,” including LG Solar’s NeON® R and NeON® 2 panels, perform well even on hot days.

• Wind

  Wind can cause significant damage to solar panels that have a low maximum load capacity. LG Solar modules have a high maximum load capacity and are designed to withstand up to 180 mph winds. They feature a double-walled frame that can resist a front load of 5400 Pascal (a unit used to quantify the amount of pressure) and a rear load of 4000 Pascal.

• Warranty

  A brand that is confident in its solar modules provides long-lasting warranties. LG’s commitment is demonstrated through its 25-year limited warranty for performance, product and labor (labor costs in the rare case of a needed module repair or replacement are covered up to $450). With a commitment like this, you can rest easy knowing you will have support for decades to come.

With so many solar modules available, it’s important to make an informed decision about the brand you will trust with your investment. Research your options carefully, talk to your installer, review product specs and technologies, and consider the bankability of the brands you’re considering.
