LG is showing off its latest AC solar panel – and this one doesn’t have an Enphase microinverter on the back.<\/p>\n
LG was already producing AC solar panels, the LG NeON 2 ACe, with the microinverters supplied by Enphase. Here’s what the back of one of those looks like, which shows the integrated Enphase IQ 6+.<\/p>\n

These panels aren’t available in in Australia – but perhaps LG’s new AC solar panel, the LG NeON R ACe, will be.<\/p>\n
The LG NeON R ACe is based on the NeON R1<\/a><\/sup> and has a different microinverter. LG hasn’t said a lot about it, only that it was “designed by LG Electronics” – so it isn’t necessarily produced by the company.<\/p>\n Some of the specs of the LG NeON R ACe:<\/p>\n The NeON R ACe works with LG’s app-based monitoring platform called EnerVu. LG says:<\/p>\n “By adopting advanced communication technology, the LG NeON R ACe is easy to commission and monitor compared to traditional micro-inverter and power optimizer solutions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n LG says the way the NeON R ACe system works with the EnerVu gateway box (which looks a little like a router) differs from other gateways in that each NeON R ACe solar panel can communicate with the one next to it. When data is passed to the gateway, it comes from one module – i.e. the gateway only needs to communicate with the closest solar panel. This provides flexibility in gateway positioning and means it can be placed inside the home.<\/p>\n\n
