LG Solar Panels & Kits

LG Solar Panel Options for Homeowners

Many homeowners are installing solar power arrays to meet their energy needs. There are many new LG solar panels available on eBay for home applications. Before making your selection, here are some commonly asked questions about LG solar panels.

How do you choose the right model for your home?

Choosing a solar power system requires a bit of research and planning. Several considerations include:

• How much space is available for the panels to be mounted
• How many watts of power are needed for the desired application
• The maximum physical dimensions of the panels desired
• The total efficiency of the panels and the warranty offered by the manufacturer
• The quality of the solar modules that make up the solar panel

How many solar panels do you need for your home?

The number of solar panels required for a given application varies depending on the amount of energy needed. To properly plan your solar installation, you will want to complete an energy audit of your home to determine the desired wattage of your solar array. Larger homes with more appliances and electronics will have higher energy needs and will require more panels as will homes that run the air conditioning or heating all the time.

What factors affect the cost of solar panels?

As technologies and panel efficiencies have improved, many homeowners have discovered the value of adding a solar array. The costs associated with solar power are primarily based on:

• Quality of components used, including the efficiency of each module
• Country of origin
• Warranty provided by the manufacturer
• Shipping costs associated with large and delicate panels

How do solar panels work?

Also called photovoltaics, solar panels work by converting the energy in sunlight to electricity. The panels must be pointed directly at the sun to operate at maximum efficiency and to produce the most power. If mounted on fixed mounts, photovoltaics will not operate at full power most of the time since they will seldom be receiving direct sunlight. Any shadows on the panels will also reduce output. Photovoltaics work best when mounted on rooftops or in large, open fields. On cloudy days, your solar panels will still produce some power, but at a much-reduced amount from their full output.
