Questions & answers

How efficient is the LG Electronics LG370N1K-E6?

The LG Electronics datasheet guarantees at least 20.1% module efficiency for the 370 W class. 370 W over 1.84 m² equals about 201 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 = −0.33 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 17.1% below the STC rating.

How many panels fit on one string?

With the Tesla 1538000-xx-y (max DC 600 V, MPPT from 60 V, datasheet) in Los Angeles the calculator gives 3–13 panels per string (Voc at 2 °C = 43.9 V, Vmp at 74 °C cell = 28.6 V). Final design must follow the inverter manual and NEC 690.7.

Does it work with APsystems (Alt Power System) DS3-L microinverters?

Voltage check against the APsystems (Alt Power System) datasheet: Voc when cold 43.9 V vs max input 60 V; Vmp when hot 28.6 V vs MPPT low 28 V; recommended module power 265–570 W. Confirm on the microinverter maker’s compatibility list.

What does the warranty cover?

25 years on the product and 25 years on performance: at least 98% of rated power in year 1, then no more than 0.45% per year — at least 87.2% after 25 years (manufacturer datasheet).

How big and heavy is it?

69.6 × 41 × 1.57 in (1,768 × 1,042 × 40 mm), 40.8 lb (18.5 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).
