Offering green solutions to consumers is something LG have rightly invested heavily in over the past few years.

These initiatives include a reduction of 2.1 million tons of greenhouse emissions in the first 6 months of 2009 and a $168 million investment in repurposing a decommissioned factory into a factory to make solar panels. And some of these solar panels may well find their way onto LGs latest air conditioning unit. Its a wonderfully simple solution really we use air conditioning as an answer to hot weather, so why not harness the sunlight causing the heat to help us cool off! The 28,000 BTU solar-powered air conditioner has a 70 watt solar array (panel) that supplies 10% of the 700+ watts required to power the unit. However the solar array feeds the air circulation and filtering system, meaning the unit will only draw mains electricity when the compressor is running. This news will not come as a shock to anyone who follows LG products as environmental features have become an integral feature of their products of late. The Pop phone for one comes available with a built in solar-cell battery cover, designed to provide emergency charge when you are running low on battery and need that extra little charge to get you through the rest of the day. Furthermore the LE5900 television recently received a 5 star rating from What LCD & Plasma Screen in a group test designed to assess the green credentials of a series of screens as the 42in edge LED panel typically uses 85w in full flow, which only a year ago would have been inconceivable.
