Description
Please take our listener survey. LG Electronics has re-entered the renewable energy space with a new residential battery storage system called LG Home ESS. Today on the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague is joined by Jim Brown, Senior Account Manager at LG Electronics, to discuss LG's journey into clean energy and the details around their new LG Home battery system. Jim has been in the solar industry for 14 years, starting in solar manufacturing automation with Swiss company Komax Solar where he worked on machinery to interconnect solar cells. He later joined SunPower for 4.5 years in commercial and residential sales before moving to LG Solar during their solar module days. When LG exited the solar module business, Jim moved to their new energy storage division to help launch their Home ESS product in the US market last year. The LG Home ESS is an AC-coupled lithium-ion battery system with 7.5kW continuous output, 14.4kWh capacity, and unique self-care features for installers and homeowners. This system includes the Home Battery itself, an inverter, a Smart Energy gateway box, and an automatic transfer switch. Jim explains how Home ESS fits into LG's home appliances and electronics portfolio, their go-to-market strategy through certified installers, and their LG Pro program for exclusive marketing support. He emphasizes the importance of LG's long history and warranty commitment in giving homeowners confidence. Tune in to hear more about the LG Home Battery system and LG's journey into clean energy.
