LG to Unveil Next Generation Solar Modules at Intersolar 2011
Uber-Efficient Solar Technology Result of 20 Years Advanced Research
SEOUL, Jun. 7, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) will be showcasing its latest solar energy solutions at Intersolar 2011, the world’s largest solar exhibition, in Munich, Germany from June 8 – 10. Visitors to LG’s booth in Hall A2 (Stand 360) will be able to see the company’s advanced Mono XTM and Multi XTM solar modules, which are 8.3 percent and 4.3 percent more efficient, respectively, than conventional models.
The Mono X boasts the highest energy efficiency among all LG modules in its class. While conventional mono module units operate at 240W, Mono X runs at a more efficient 260W and is designed to be easier and less expensive to install.
The Multi X, LG’s powerful new photovoltaic module, boasts 240W of power with the same levels of energy efficiency as conventional mono module units. And because LG’s advanced surface treatment technology absorbs more sunlight, energy output is much greater than conventional multi-crystalline solar cells. What’s more, the night blue cell color and piano black frame adds a stylish finish to the Multi X’s clean design.
“Solar energy is one of our key growth engines for the future,” said Kwan-shik Cho, Vice President of LG’s Solar Business Team. “With more than two decades of advanced research behind us, additional investments will enable us to increase our production capacity to 330 megawatts this year and 1 gigawatt by 2013, which puts LG on the path to become a global top 10 solar company relatively soon.”
With an industry leading 25-year guarantee and LG’s commitment to providing comprehensive customer service, the Mono X and Multi X were developed at LG’s solar module test lab, which is certified by both TÜV and UL, an industry first.
The test lab enabled the company to utilize its own proprietary processes to ensure high product quality and durability. The new solar modules are rated to withstand frontal and rear pressure of 5400Pa, as well as the harshest climate conditions. Visitors to LG’s booth at Intersolar will be able to view a 3D film demonstrating LG solar modules undergoing testing in extreme conditions.
LG’s solar cell products can be fitted to a wide range of different-sized solar modules. Available in sizes 4X9, 6X8, 6X9, 6X12 and 6X10, LG’s solar products have been specifically designed to meet the needs of almost every customer.

LG LAUNCHES EU’S FIRST A++ ENERGY RATED SIDE-BY-SIDE FRIDGE WITH BUMPER CAPACITY, SMART FUNCTIONS

LG WINS EU’S FIRST A+++ AND A++ ENERGY RANKINGS FOR BOTTOM-FREEZER AND SIDE-BY-SIDE FRIDGE
![](https://www.lgnewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/LG-WINS-EUS-FIRST-A-AND-A-ENERGY-RANKINGS-FOR-BOTTOM-FREEZER-AND-SIDE-BY-SIDE-FRIDGE-213x600.jpg)
Seoul, May 27, 2011 — LG Electronics (LG) is continuing its long-standing commitment to improving energy efficiency with its new 385-liter bottom-freezer and 614-liter side-by-side refrigerator, the first freezer and fridge, respectively, to receive an A+++1 and A++2 energy ranking in the EU. With energy savings made possible by LG’s unique Linear Compressor Technology, the appliances also boast some of the largest inner capacities in the industry.
The Linear Compressor works in conjunction with a smart inner structure and thinner insulation to maximize space in the bottom-freezer and side-by-side fridge — indeed, the bottom-freezer has the largest capacity of any freezer in its class. Providing a larger, more organized space for consumers to store their food, the new refrigerator allows more room for groceries, meaning fewer trips to the supermarket.
“Receiving these energy ratings was a major achievement for us, and a big step forward for the home appliance industry on the whole,” said Young-ha Lee, President and CEO of LG Home Appliance Company. “It demonstrates exactly where we are headed with all our refrigerator models for 2011 — constant improvements in energy consumption, along with smart savings in efficiency, space and accessibility.”
A+++ Large Capacity Bottom-Freezer: Smart Savings, Durability and Design Excellence
Thanks to LG’s unique Linear Compressor, the bottom-freezer keeps the interior temperature steady — leaving food as fresh as it was in the grocery store — while using up to 50 percent less energy than previous A+ rated bottom-freezers. This improved energy efficiency translates into savings of as much as 60 euros a year3 compared with A rated refrigerators, and up to 93kg of annual reductions in CO2 emissions. In addition, by incorporating LG’s latest spiral-fin heat exchanger, the bottom-freezer significantly improves heat exchange and keeps the fridge temperature even and cool in a more efficient manner.
Fewer friction points — one instead of the four in conventional compressors — work to significantly reduce noise levels. This enhances the product’s durability, allowing LG to offer a 10-year warranty on the Linear Compressor motor.4 Additionally, the bottom-freezer’s design was honored with an iF Design Award and a Red Dot Design Award this year.
A++ Side-by-Side Refrigerator: Providing Even Greater Energy Savings
In addition to its Linear Compressor, the new side-by-side refrigerator incorporates a range of smart and innovative LG technologies to improve energy efficiency. In 2010, LG received an A++ rating for its dispenser-equipped side-by-side refrigerator, the first time such an appliance had received this rating in the EU. LG’s new side-by-side refrigerator has this year added a Home-Bar feature on top of the dispenser, while maintaining the A++ rating for energy consumption.
The innovative Slim Door Mounted Ice Maker saves space by providing a compact indoor ice maker. This has allowed for a higher volume of usable inner space without increasing the overall size of the refrigerator or decreasing energy efficiency. LG also offers a 10-year warranty on the Linear Compressor motor.
