Sanyo to launch high output HIT-HD solar modules in Europe

MUNICH, GERMANY: Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd has announced the development of new 240W and 235W HIT-HD photovoltaic modules, with the highest output of any SANYO solar panel, based on performance improvement for the HIT-HD*1 series.

The new modules are to begin mass production at SANYO Hungary Plant by October 2009. The new HIT-HD module will be on display at the Intersolar trade show being held in Munich, Germany, from May 27 to 29, 2009.

High Output 240/235W HIT-HD PV Modules (HIT-240/235HDE4)
Greater output and efficiency through manufacturing process optimization
Previous SANYO solar panels had a maximum rated power output of 230 watts per module (i.e., HDE Series 230W).

Now, with this improved HIT-HD module, a rated power of 240 watts has been achieved through the optimization of the cell manufacturing process. A cell conversion efficiency of 20 percent has also been reached (module conversion efficiency of 17.3 percent), which is the highest efficiency for a mass-produced SANYO model.
