LG Solar performance guide

LG discontinued solar panel production in 2022, but millions of LG NeON panels remain in service. These are high-quality monocrystalline panels with good degradation rates, though warranty service is now handled by third parties.

Common issues with LG Solar

Natural panel degradation

All solar panels lose efficiency over time at roughly 0.5–0.8% per year. Accelerated in extreme heat or poorly manufactured panels.

Typical loss: 315%

Cell hotspots

Localised overheating in individual cells caused by micro-cracks, shading, or manufacturing defects. Best detected via thermal imaging.

Typical loss: 520%
