Nano Dimension Files Patent Application for New Nanometric Conductive Ink

New Product Will Use Less Ink Overall and Increase 3D Printing Speed

NESS ZIONA, Israel, July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nano Dimension Ltd., a leader in the field of 3D Printed Electronics (NASDAQ, TASE: NNDM), announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Nano Dimension Technologies, has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the development of a new nanometric conductive ink, which is based on a unique synthesis.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150803/254191LOGO

The new nanoparticle synthesis further minimizes the size of the silver nanoparticles particles in the company's ink products. The new process achieves silver nanoparticles as small as 4 nanometers.

We believe that accurate control of nanoparticles' size and surface properties will allow for improved performance of the company's DragonFly 2020 3D printer, currently in development. The innovative ink enables lower melting temperatures and more complete sintering (fusing of particles into solid conductive trace), leading to an even higher level of conductivity.

The innovative ink has the potential to accelerate printing speeds and save ink for the 3D printing of electronics such as printed circuit boards, antennas and others. Furthermore, the ink enhances the capabilities of the company's DragonFly 2020 3D printer, and may improve the conductivity of the printed lines. The company intends to commercialize its ink products as supplementary products to its 3D printers and as separate and independent products.

About Nano Dimension Ltd.

Nano Dimension, founded in 2012, focuses on development of advanced 3D printed electronics systems and advanced additive manufacturing. Nano Dimension's unique products combine three advanced technologies: 3D inkjet, 3D software and nanomaterials. The company's primary products include the first 3D printer dedicated to printing multi-layer PCBs (printed circuit boards) and advanced nanotechnology-based conductive and dielectric inks.

In addition to the trading of the company's American Depositary Shares on NASDAQ, the company's ordinary shares are also traded on the TASE in Israel. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for Nano Dimension.

REM-Fit Launches Kickstarter Campaign for ZEEQ: The World's Most Sophisticated & Comfortable Smart Pillow

Stream Music, Stop Snoring, Sleep Smarter

CHICAGO, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is sleep - and maybe that is why the average person spends one third of their life getting some shut eye. Sleep inspires and creates our energy and fuels intellect and brainpower. Chicago-based REM-Fit knows the secret to a good night's rest, and they're sharing it via a new product featured on Kickstarter.

The company officially launches the Kickstarter campaign today for ZEEQ by REM-Fit, a smart pillow that tracks sleep activity, helps you and/or your sleep partner stop snoring, wirelessly streams music, determines the ideal time to wake you in your sleep cycle and promotes overall health.

Unlike other sleep technology, ZEEQ actually responds to the data it collects, with features like:

Wireless Music: Built in Bluetooth speakers allow you to listen to your favorite music or the ZEEQ app to listen to custom sounds.

Sleep Analysis: The ZEEQ app lets you check sleep data, see your snore score, set alarms, play music, enter diet and habits, and more. The pillow's battery lasts for the whole week and charges via micro USB.

Smart Alarm: ZEEQ motion sensors can detect the point in your sleep cycle that is best to wake you.

Sleep Motion: How often do you toss and turn at night? ZEEQ will show you each time you move and even let you know how much deep sleep you achieve.

Premium Comfort: ZEEQ is not only extremely smart, but also super comfortable. ZEEQ has a foam outer shell and small, flexible electrical components that you can't even feel.

Snore Alarm: A microphone and motion sensor record snoring and tossing and turning to provide data and analysis on the quality of the your sleep.

Tencel® Fabric: ZEEQ features a Tencel® pillowcase that is removable and washable. Tencel® is a wood based fiber that naturally inhibits bacteria, is hypoallergenic, moisture wicking, and temperature regulating.

The free ZEEQapp (for iOS and Android) lets you check sleep data, see your snore activity, set an alarm, play music and more.

The Kickstarter campaign offers twelve tiers of investment options, ranging from $1.00 to  $5,000.00 or more.

Schneider Electric Launches Wiser Air(TM) Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat in Canada with Eco IQ

    --  The Wiser Air Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat was developed in Schneider
        Electric's Building Automation and HVAC Centre in Montréal
    --  The thermostat features Eco IQ, an advanced self-learning algorithm that
        maximizes user comfort and energy savings and eliminates set points
    --  Wiser Air with Eco IQ combines Schneider Electric's top-ranked weather
        service to produce a more comfortable and efficient environment

MISSISSAUGA, ON, July 13, 2016 /CNW/ - Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, today announced its Wiser Air(TM) Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat, featuring the new Eco IQ self-learning feature, is available across Canada.

While most smart thermostats need users to constantly input desired temperature set points, Eco IQ is a self-learning algorithm which only requires users to provide feedback when they're not comfortable. The new feature takes the guesswork out of determining what temperature is optimal for users and allows Eco IQ to quickly learn and leverage feedback to create a comfortable heating and cooling plan.

"Created by our building automation and HVAC experts at Schneider Electric's Building Automation and HVAC centre in Montréal, Eco IQ is the most advanced self-learning algorithm on the market today," said Richard Henzie, Marketing Director, EcoBuildings, Schneider Electric Canada. "Eco IQ challenges the very idea of set points and doesn't require Canadians to set temperatures and schedules. It not only focuses on energy savings but also on creating a comfortable environment."

In addition to producing a more comfortable and efficient environment, Wiser Air with Eco IQ utilizes Schneider Electric's weather service, WeatherSentry(TM), the number one ranked forecasting service for nine consecutive years. Leading utilities, major airlines and sports and entertainment venues also rely on WeatherSentry for weather intelligence. Utilizing these forecasts, the Eco IQ feature learns how long it takes to change the temperature in the home in all types of weather and plans ahead to start heating or cooling just in time to hit users' preferred target temperatures.

Featuring a smartphone style, high-resolution, 3.5"-colour touchscreen and a plug-and-play design, Wiser Air with Eco IQ is easy to install and intuitive to operate. Users simply tell Eco IQ how to prioritize comfort versus savings, and Wiser does the rest. It synchronizes seamlessly with its smartphone app, creating a unified experience across any device or operating system. The thermostat's rich hardware and Wi-Fi capability supports automatic updates, giving homeowners access to the latest technology advancements over time, without needing to purchase a new device.

Key features of Wiser Air include:

    --  Eco IQ(TM): A self-learning algorithm that finds the perfect temperature
        for consumers without requiring them to enter their own temperature set
        points.
    --  Wiser Forecast: Wiser Air incorporates Schneider Electric's
        industry-leading weather forecasts, which is the technology's first use
        in a consumer application. Wiser Forecast provides extreme weather
        alerts and allows homeowners to adapt to the latest weather information,
        before leaving the home, increasing home comfort and energy efficiency.
    --  Comfort Boost(TM): Delivers 15-60 minutes of on-demand heating or
        cooling at the touch of a button to promote optimal comfort without
        affecting thermostat settings and schedules.
    --  Smart Sensors: Smart Sense(TM) sensors automatically interact with the
        user when the user is near, and respond to real-time changes in
        temperature and light.
    --  Wiser Pulse(TM): Conveniently provides a status update with just a
        glance at the user-configurable ambient glow, enabling homeowners to be
        more aware of their energy use.
    --  Ready Modes: Ready-mode functionality allows homeowners to easily tweak
        their energy schedule to their personal settings with one touch.
    --  Advanced Scheduling: Flexible scheduling and automatic programming
        features help homeowners easily maximize energy savings.

The most intelligent climate control solution on the market, Wiser Air is now available at http://www.amazon.ca for a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $249. For more information, please visit http://www.wiserair.com or follow Wiser Air on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/wiserair.

eSports Startup Ethos Aims to Grow the Amateur Gaming Community with Leagues

ATLANTA, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, Ethos launched a new site to give online gamers a voice in the development of its new platform, dedicated to matchmaking and league creation for gamers of all levels. Ethos will establish a new way for players of team-based games, like League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, to find teammates and join organized leagues and tournaments for prizes depending on their competitive level.

Through the website, Ethos wants its friends in the gaming community to give feature feedback, share development updates and support our first round of development through a fast-paced Indiegogo campaign that will reward early backers.

Ethos began with a simple question between creators Daniel Wang and Michael Farris, "Why do gamers invest hundreds of hours into competitive, ranked games like League of Legends or Counter-Strike if they know they won't become a pro?"

"The easy answer is that these games are incredibly fun," Wang said. "But we think the millions of amateur gamers want a more organized experience, including scheduled competition and transparent interactions with teammates and opponents. We also realized amateur gamers lack options for automated leagues, a format many gamers are familiar with on the pro scene."

Ethos wants to give gamers two of the most critical elements for successful leagues: great teammates and balanced competition - both of which are often missing from online gaming. Farris learned the importance of both when organizing Mario Kart leagues for college friends.

"That's why we're pushing to have a great matchmaking system that considers factors beyond just rank and role," Farris said. "We want a system that also looks at your preferred play style, personal objectives, along with factors like teammate ratings, reliability ratings and more. And we know gamers are looking for a solution like this."

Ethos is backed by strong relationships in the eSports, sports and entertainment industries, but the startup wants to build stronger relationships with the gamers the platform will serve.

"Our vision is to establish a welcoming and diverse community that develops gamers for life," Farris said. "As avid gamers ourselves, we know the pain of investing hundreds of hours in a game community that doesn't always match our passion. We think Ethos will be a huge step toward providing a better way to enjoy our favorite games."

About Ethos
Started in 2015, Ethos is a passion project that delivers leagues and tournaments to gamers of all levels, backed by dynamic matchmaking and a positive community experience. Ethos aims to help online gamers recapture the fun, rewarding spirit of gaming by emphasizing the importance of teamwork and team compatibility.

Startup Tackles the "Too Much Content" Issue with its AI Solution

TEL-AVIV, Israel, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- It seems like everyone has been complaining in the past couple of years that they are drowning in content online. 27 million pieces of content are shared daily on the internet and almost everyone feel overwhelmed by the content they meet on their emails, social media accounts, and on their electronic devices. Fact is, you're not going to beat the "too much content" issue. As a result, more people choose to unplug off of their social media accounts or emails as they are unable to handle the outpouring of incoming content. 

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160713/389108

We live in an age where technology allows us to do almost anything we want. But handling our huge amounts of data has become a real challenge. Now, an up and coming startup, infi, is tackling this issue with its AI system that uses users' content with the goal of helping users instead of overwhelming them.

infi's AI system is targeted at doing a revolutionary thing: transforming content from scary to friendly, from passive to active, from messy to organized. The app allows users to upload every bit of content they have on their devices and social media accounts - photos, videos, links, and text - and with one click it imports and organizes the content on a private and organized timeline.  From that moment on, the system will analyze the content and will gain understanding of what exactly its users need: what are their preference, what content is relevant to them, what can assist them and what is junk. It fulfils two functions: controlling the content that users will see and get when an emphasis on not to overwhelm the user with unimportant or negative content. And, it will also assist users by suggesting content that can assist them based on current personal or professional issues and relationships.

For example, the system recognizes that you are interested with a movie based on you watching a trailer or reading an article. It will search for any of your friends who are also interested with that genre, director or actor. Next, it will check which of your friends who qualify are available and will suggest a movie time with friends that are both interested and free. It can also suggest movies that you might have missed based on your preference, enabling you to discover things that are likely to be at your taste.

Or, if a user is visiting a new place, the system scans for any events or attractions that might interest the user based on cultural, artistic, culinary or musical taste. It will then suggest to users things to do or see in different hours of the day. So instead of going online and checking dozens of sites for recommendations or collecting recommendations from friends who might have a different taste, users have the perfect solution when visiting a place or vacationing  when choices presented to them are tailor-made and based on their own personal preference.

Expansion of Network Access Control Platforms Sets the Stage for Accelerated Revenue Growth

Fuller feature sets attract enterprises to NAC despite the security blind spots on a widening network security surface, finds Frost & Sullivan Digital Transformation Practice

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Network access control (NAC) vendors recently made four significant technological improvements to make their platforms indispensable to network security. These enhancements include the offer of endpoint visibility, bidirectional integration with other network and security platforms, adding 'context' to controls and enabling network orchestration.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Network Access Control (NAC) Global Market (http://utm.io/257705) finds that the market earned revenues of $592.5 million in 2015 and estimates this to reach $1.83 billion by 2020. Revenue growth is outpacing the growth in unit shipment, indicating that the monetary value of contracts won by NAC vendors is rising.

For complimentary access to more information on this research, please visit: http://frost.ly/kd

"While endpoint visibility provides crucial information about corporate assets, specialized devices, their location and the security posture of endpoints, bidirectional integration helps build a stronger cyber network foundation," said Frost & Sullivan Digital Transformation Research Analyst Christopher Kissel. "With true endpoint visibility and improved posture assessment, NAC is able to give context to controls and lastly, network orchestration allows NAC to be the central console of IT and security operations."

Unlike in the past when network administrators and security teams had the luxury of managing devices through Ethernet and stateful firewalls, a modern business network must account for transient devices, remote branch offices and contract and guest registrations. In such an environment, NAC is proving highly relevant as pre-registration of devices onto a network is one of its important features. It benefits all the network phases of IT, operations and security.

However, NAC solutions are generally deployed in mature network and security environments. Companies have their own security information and event management (SIEM), vulnerability management (VM) and other cyber perimeter tools that create security blind spots. Additionally, the teams must find a way to protect network access even as the network security surface expands.

Despite these issues, companies prefer to deploy NAC platforms for its superior endpoint visibility. There is a marked growth in the number of NAC deployments as enterprise and medium-sized market networks become larger to include more devices per employee and bring-your-own-device (BYOD).

"Beyond greenfield market opportunities, the market is also experiencing organic growth as companies migrate from first-generation NAC features to next-generation NAC capabilities," noted Kissel. "When contracts come up for renewals, clients often demand richer feature sets including endpoint posture assessment and risk-based probability, which offers vendors a plethora of opportunities to upsell."

Overall, instead of simply imposing rules and role-based access controls, NAC platforms are integrating and improving other security tools, helping provide fidelity for risk-based analytics, and facilitating contextual awareness for security incident and forensics investigations. These benefits have resulted in truly next-generation NAC platforms that open up opportunities for revenue growth.

Network Access Control (NAC) Global Market is part of the Network Security (http://ww2.frost.com/research/industry/information-communications-technologies/network-security) Growth Partnership Service program. Frost & Sullivan's related studies include: The Best of Network Security 2016, Global Software Licensing and Monetization Market, 2016 Latin America Outlook for the Information Technology Services Industry, as well as Australia, APAC, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines Data Center Services Market 2016.

SHANGHAI, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's first All-in-One VR Headset, Deepoon's Standalone VR Headset M2, started shipping from June 28, 2016. From April 1, 2016, when pre-sale started, to the end of June 2016, Deepoon received over 20,000 orders for the M2, a milestone never before seen in the history of China's virtual reality headset industry.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160713/389090

The Deepoon M2 has an independent system and computing capability, long battery life, Samsung OLED display and the same powerful Samsung Exynos 7420 chipset as the Samsung Galaxy S6 series of smartphones. Thanks to technological support from Samsung Semiconductor and ARM, the Deepoon M2 rivals the best in class in VR products.

Schneider Electric's Wiser Air with Eco IQ Takes the Guesswork Out of Smart Thermostats

Eco IQ delivers most advanced self-learning algorithm that eliminates set points, maximizes user comfort and energy savings

ANDOVER, Mass., July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, today announced the new Eco IQ(TM) self-learning feature of its Wiser Air(TM) Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat. Instead of requiring users to constantly enter desired temperature set points - a common requirement of most commercially available smart thermostats on the market today - users now only need to provide feedback when they're not comfortable. The new feature takes the guesswork out of determining what temperature is optimal for users and allows Eco IQ to quickly learn and leverage feedback to create a comfortable heating and cooling plan.

According to Park Associates(1), smart thermostats are currently one of the strongest categories of smart home devices, with more than 10 percent of U.S. broadband households planning to purchase one in the next 12 months. But research shows that most users with smart thermostats don't know how to properly utilize them for energy savings and often override schedules(2). Unlike other smart thermostats, Eco IQ constantly manages and adjusts temperatures, freeing users from the burden of having to constantly provide feedback. This helps users create an optimal environment and maximize energy savings all day long - not just when they are away from their homes.

"Created by building automation and HVAC experts at Schneider Electric, Eco IQ is the most advanced self-learning algorithm on the market today," said Paul Buda, engineer, fellow and senior group expert, Schneider Electric. "With Eco IQ, Wiser Air challenges the very idea of set points - commonly used as a determining factor of user comfort in other solutions - freeing users from the need to set temperatures and schedules."

In addition to producing a more comfortable and efficient environment, Wiser Air with Eco IQ combines Schneider Electric's weather service, WeatherSentry(TM), the number one ranked forecasting service for nine consecutive years. Leading utilities, major airlines and sports and entertainment venues also rely on WeatherSentry for weather intelligence. Utilizing these forecasts, the Eco IQ feature learns how long it takes to change the temperature in the home in all types of weather and plans ahead to start heating or cooling just in time to hit users' preferred target temperatures.

Featuring a smartphone style, high-resolution 3.5 inch color touchscreen and a plug-and-play design, Wiser Air with Eco IQ is easy to install and intuitive to operate. Users simply tell Eco IQ how to prioritize comfort vs. savings, and Wiser does the rest. It syncs seamlessly with its smartphone app to create a unified user experience across any device or operating system. The thermostat, with rich hardware and Wi-Fi capability, supports automatic software updates, giving users access to the latest technology advancements over time. Existing Wiser Air users will receive an update that includes Eco IQ. Once the feature is enabled by the user, they will be able to incorporate the self-learning feature into their thermostats.

In addition to partner technologies currently available with Wiser Air from Microsoft and EnergySage, Schneider Electric is continuing to build on Wiser Air's functionalities with Amazon. This summer, Wiser Air will seamlessly sync with Amazon Alexa, which will enable voice control of Wiser Air. Users will be able to take advantage of this new feature with their current devices through Wiser Air's automatic updates.

Schneider Electric's Wiser Air with the new Eco IQ self-learning feature is currently available for purchase at select Microsoft Stores, the first brick and mortar retailer to sell Wiser, and online at Home Depot, Amazon, Best Buy, NewEgg, Controls Central, APC.com and other retailers. For a complete list, please visit: Wiser Air - Where to Buy.

DCA (Data-Centric Alliance) is Launching an International Version of the Exebid.DCA Programmatic Platform

MOSCOW, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    DCA (Data-Centric Alliance) - a Russian company that specializes in ad technologies
based on audience data - announces new capabilities for the engine of the Exebid.DCA, a
programmatic demand side platform (DSP). The new version of the platform supports the
purchase of audiences in the Americas, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and China. 

(Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160711/388254LOGO )

    With more than 75 international supply side platforms (SSP) and data centers in Europe,
the USA and Singapore, the Exebid.DCA is able to launch brand advertising campaigns in
almost any market. Multiple audience targetings make these campaigns more efficient and
ensure that the brand is communicating just with its target audience.

    For an advertiser, this updated interface turns into a one-stop entry point to
purchase any kind of traffic anywhere in the world. Exebid.DCA supports all popular media
formats (banners on PC and mobile devices, video, in-banner video, including Retina
screens). Payment can be made in RUR, USD, or EUR; however other currencies may be added
upon a few days notice.

    The platform supports all basic targetings: 

    - geography (down to city district);

    - operating systems and browsers;

    - days of the week and time with respect to user's time zone;

    - ad viewability;

    - specific media resources (private deals, blacklist/whitelist);

    - connection type (cellular operator/wi-fi), provider;

    - type, make and model of device (for mobile platform and gadgets);

    - interest categories.

    Facetz DCA Data Management Platform (DMP) will remain the all-in-one audience data
provider - one of the biggest Russian independent controllers of PII-free audience data.

    The key innovation of Exebid DCA is that now it focuses on mobile platforms and on the
use of mobile data for targeting. Now, advertising campaigns may be tuned more accurately
based on mobile IDFA/IFA data - current weather (temperature, precipitation, and UV level),
geotargeting with accuracy to 25 meters and targeting at organizations where the user is
currently staying, passing by or working (educational, healthcare and cultural
institutions and organizations).

    The updated predictive analysis tools (predictors) consider the CR and CTR thresholds,
thus meeting ad campaign efficiency targets.

    The antifraud system was optimized too, since about half of the world traffic is known
to be created by so-called bots, artificial web users and one third of the world traffic
is generated by "fraud bots".

    The Exebid DCA solution filters out suspicious "visitors" by their behavior markers;
e.g. most bots live less than 24 hours - they do many clicks and refresh pages frequently
to get as many banner displays as possible. The ad automatically stops displaying to users
with such markers, and the ad sources get banned.

    In addition, the system analyzes data on what visitors did before and detects users
with abnormal behaviour.

    These controls almost eliminate 'bot' traffic.

    After launch, the new platform became the main one for some ad campaigns of DCA
clients. This fall, a launch of a fully-featured self-service interface is expected, so
that advertising agencies and brands will be able to develop their own programmatic
expertise.

AirDog Leads Race to be First Autonomous Drone Filming Action Sports Pros in Competition

LONDON, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

       First time ever autonomous drones will capture pro athletes during competition,

                                 changing video history 

    History is in the making this summer. AirDog [http://www.airdog.com ], the action
sports photography drone, will be filming the Plastic Playground
[https://www.dropbox.com/home/Airdog%20Team%20Folder/Plastic%20Playground%20Press%20Kit?preview=airdog_plasticplayground_poster.png ]
professional wakeboarding competition starting
Thursday, July 14 in Berkshire, England. This marks the first time ever that autonomous
drones are filming an action sports competition.

    AirDog, the Latvia-based startup famous for its auto-follow action sport drone, is
eager to break new ground in sports video history. Never before have autonomous drones
taken primary responsibility in the videography for a major sporting event.

    Plastic Playground [http://www.plasticplayground.co.uk ] is the perfect opportunity
for AirDog to premier the benefits of autonomous drone video capture. AirDog's unique
capabilities and custom flight mode features are specifically designed for capturing
wakeboarding action [https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=piq6B6ImORI ], in
addition to many other action sports.

    Edgars Rozentals, CEO of AirDog, said, "As pioneers in action sports drones, we proved
that anyone can capture their action sports adventures without any assistance. AirDog
clearly demonstrates that you don't have to have a big budget, a professional crew, or
complicated camera setups. At Plastic Playground we are launching AirDog's two new flight
modes we designed specifically for cable park and boat wakeboarding action
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=piq6B6ImORI ]."

    During the event AirDog action sports drones will fly, follow, and film athletes along
a pre-programmed flight path. This guarantees the safety of the device, the participants
and equipment. AirDog will avoid colliding with any infrastructure, trees or spectators as
these factors specific to wakeboarding are programmed into the wakeboarding sports flight
modes.

    The most noticeable feature of AirDog is its ability to track and frame athletes while
in motion. Due to its advanced technology, AirDog is capable of framing an athlete in
action with higher accuracy than human pilots. Wakeboarding is a notoriously challenging
sport to shoot due to the rapid and often unpredictable motion of the participants.
AirDog's custom wakeboarding presets
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=piq6B6ImORI ] will follow the
wakeboarder's every move with absolute accuracy.

    AirDog also has dedicated software flight modes for Windsurfing, MTB, Surfing,
Backcountry skiing and snowboarding. More flight modes are in development, including
kitesurfing, motocross and downhill snow sport modes. These new modes will be released as
software updates. AirDog brings completely new possibilities in video capturing. It's safe
and it's smart.

    Plastic Playground  

    Plastic Playground is the UK's largest wake park event, attracting the world's best
riders. The event is held at Liquid Leisure, Europe's largest aqua park.

    Location: Liquid Leisure Wakepark, Horton Road, Datchet, Berkshire, UK. SL3 9HY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA announced today that U.S. shipments are beginning this month for LG's flagship NeON(TM) 2 72-cell solar panels. Perfectly suited for commercial and utility scale installations, these new solar panels represent the industry's most efficient and practical solution for commercial installations due to LG's N-Type double-sided cell structure, LG announced during Intersolar 2016.

LG's double-sided cell structure allows the panels to produce more energy with a smaller footprint. LG's newest models feature a series of 72-cell modules that make it easier to manage space when installing a large-scale system without sacrificing energy output. The three models, LG365N2W-G4, LG370N2W-G4 and LG375N2W-G4, are designed to deliver outputs ranging from 365 to 375 watts, in a 6.41- by 3.28-footpanel, thereby producing more power in less space.

This new series builds on the success of LG's award-winning 60-cell NeON 2 modules that use LG's N-Type double-sided cell structure, which allows the light, reflected from the rear of the module to be reabsorbed, generating even more power. LG is proud to ship the commercial-focused models to the U.S. market after their debut last year.

"LG's NeON 2 72-cell panels are the perfect solution for commercial and utility scale installation projects looking for a highly efficient solar energy solution without compromising their roof or green space," said David Chang, U.S. head of sales for LG Solar. "These panels combine LG's signature sleek design with the newest technology on the market to provide businesses an attainable solar solution for long-term cost savings."

NeON 2 72-Cell Means Higher Efficiency in Any Environment

Advancing the success of LG's flagship NeON 2, the N-Type material was developed through an elaborate process control, adopting a semiconductor processing solution, which boasts higher mobility of electric charge. As a result of their improved temperature coefficient, the NeON 2 72-cell panels can generate more electricity on sunny days and even performs more efficiently on cloudy days, allowing one module to generate more energy per square foot, regardless of environmental factors.

NeON2 and NeON2 Black Continue to Advance Solar Industry

LG's flagship NeON 2 and NeON 2 Black solar panels, launched in 2015, feature LG's innovative Cello technology, which utilizes circular-shaped wires to scatter light for better absorption while reducing the electrical loss and increasing power output and reliability by spreading the current with 12 thin wires rather than the traditional three busbars

While the new NeON 2 72-cell is optimized for commercial use, the new NeON 2 and NeON 2 Black solar panels are ideal for residential applications. The NeON 2 Black features an all-black design, which makes it almost undetectable against a roof for a sleek appearance. The 320W NeON 2 delivers a 6.4 kWp capacity with 20 modules (60 cells) compared with competing 285W p-type Mono panels with the same number of modules that generate only 5.7 kWp.

Long-Lasting Design, Extended Warranty

Unlike conventional p-type solar modules, the N-Type cells used in the NeON 2 72-cell, NeON 2 and NeON 2 Black use almost no boron, so Light Induced Degradation is reduced significantly. The NeON 2 72-cell offers the same increased frame firmness of the NeON 2 and NeON 2 Black- the direct result of a reinforced frame design that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is durable. The improved 72-cell module reduces annual degradation from -0.7 percent to -0.6 percent per year, allowing LG to extend the warranty to a full 12 years.

Intersolar Award-Winning Technologies

LG earned its third consecutive Intersolar Award for the innovative new NeON 2 BiFacial solar module at Intersolar Europe last month. LG first received the award with the Mono X NeON in 2014 and again in 2015 for the NeON 2.
