Power Guarantee

SANYO guarantees customers will receive 100% of the panel’s rated power (or more) at the time of purchase, enabling owners to generate more kWh per rated watt.

Proprietary Technology

HIT bifacial solar cells are hybrids of single crystalline silicon surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers, available solely from SANYO.

Bifacial Effect

The back face of HIT Double solar panels generates electricity from ambient light reflected off surrounding surfaces, and combines with power from the front face of the panel. Dependant upon system design and site albedo, this results in up to 30% higher power generation (more kWh) per square foot.

High Temperature Performance

As temperatures rise, HIT Double solar panels produce more electricity than conventional solar panels at the same temperature, for good performance in high temperature sites.

Quality Products

SANYO silicon wafers are made in California USA, and assembled in Mexico at SANYO’s certified factory. ISO 9001 (quality), 14001 (environment), 18001 (safety).

Valuable Features

HIT Double panels operate silently and have no moving parts. A double glass structure allows some sunlight to penetrate portions of the panel, creating brilliant light and shadows for aesthetic and architectural applications. HIT Double panels are perfect for areas with performance-based incentives and tradable energy credits.

To Maximize Power

1.Elevate panels above a surface as much as possible.

2.Place panels over light-colored surfaces.

3.Do not allow support rails to shade the panel’s back face.
