Sanyo HIT POWER 186 User Manual

HIT Photovoltaic Module

Module Efficiency: 16.0%

Cell Efficiency: 18.4%

Power Output: 186 Watts

High Efficiency

HIT® Power solar panels are leaders in sunlight conversion efficiency. Obtain maximum power within a fixed amount of space. Save money using fewer system attachments and racking materials, and reduce costs by spending less time installing per watt.

Power Guarantee

SANYO’s power ratings for HIT Power panels guarantee customers receive 100% of the nameplate rated power (or more) at the time of purchase, enabling owners to generate more kWh per rated watt, quicken investment returns, and help realize complete customer satisfaction.

Temperature Performance

As temperatures rise, HIT Power solar panels produce 10% or more electricity (kWh) than conventional crystalline silicon solar panels at the same temperature.

Proprietary Technology

HIT solar cells are hybrids of single crystalline silicon surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers, and are available solely from SANYO. HIT Power models are ideal for grid-connected solar systems, areas with performance based incentives, and renewable energy credits.

Unnecessary Section When Using SANYO

Structural Strength

HIT Power panels have a double-wall black anodized aluminum frame for extra strength, and are tested to 60PSF. The panels come pre-equipped with a touchsafe junction box, USE-2 outdoor rated cables, MC4™ locking connectors, and are UL 1703 safety rated for wind, hail, and fire.

Valuable Features

HIT Power solar panels operate silently, have no moving parts and are among the lightest per watt in the industry. Unique eco-packaging minimizes cardboard waste at the job site. The packing density of the panels reduces transportation, fuel, and storage costs per installed watt.

Quality Products

SANYO silicon wafers located inside HIT solar panels are made in California USA, and the panels are assembled in an ISO 9001 (quality), 14001 (environment), and 18001 (safety) certified factory. The panels have a Limited 20-Year Power Output and 5-Year Product Workmanship Warranty.
