Questions & answers

How efficient is the LG Electronics LG370M1K-A6?

Calculated from the panel area (1.81 m²): about 20.4% for the 370 W class. 370 W over 1.81 m² equals about 204 W per square meter.

How much energy does one panel produce in Los Angeles or Palmdale?

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 620 kWh per year per 370 W panel in Los Angeles and about 679 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.344 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 17.8% below the STC rating.

What microinverter is built into the LG Electronics LG370M1K-A6?

The CEC listing names LM320UE-A2 paired with the LG355N1K-A6 DC module; the microinverter is rated 322 W AC.

What does the warranty cover?

25 years on the product: at least 98.5% of rated power in year 1, then no more than 0.33% per year — at least 90.6% after 25 years (manufacturer datasheet).

How big and heavy is it?

68.5 × 41 × 1.57 in (1,740 × 1,042 × 40 mm), 44.5 lb (20.2 kg).

Has this panel been reliability-tested?

This exact series is not in published PVEL Top Performer tables; LG Electronics was named a Top Performer in 2 Scorecards (2018–2021).

What fire rating does it have?

UL 61730 fire rating Type 2 per datasheet.
