Sanyo Solar Panels

Superior Temperature Attributes
HIT solar cells have superior temperature characteristics compared to conventional crystalline silicon solar cells. As outside temperatures rise, HIT solar cells produce more electricity (kWh) than conventional crystalline silicon solar cells at the same temperature.

Environment Friendly Process
SANYO HIT solar cells are 0.2mm thick, using less silicon materials than conventional solar cells at about 0.35mm.

About Sanyo Solar

Sanyo's solar division was established in 1976 in Carson, California.

Working toward a better future for humankind, Solec creates products that convert the sun's energy into electric power.

Since 1967 Solec solar electric modules have been used worldwide in urban and remote locations. From major metropolitan areas to small villages, Solec's cost effective modules work dependably and efficiently.

In 1994, Solec combined forces with SANYO Electric, Japan. Both companies share a commitment to excellence and making strides toward improvements in the solar energy industry. These are exemplified by the numerous patents held by the companies and proprietary advances that have been made. Further, in our efforts to manufacture a superior product, Solec's modern equipment uses high quality materials.

Solec was a pioneer in developing major improvements in crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) technology. Today many high-power PV applications utilize crystalline silicon single crystal cells and photovoltaic modules.

In 1997, SANYO introduced a product called HIT Power 21™ (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer). This 21st century hybrid product combines the single crystalline cell with amorphous silicon. The result has been astounding. The HIT™ cells have the capability of achieving an incredible 20% efficiency rating in laboratory conditions.

Solec continues to find ways to harness the energy of sun to provide alternative energy. Their goal is to preserve our environment by bringing the sun down to earth.
