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
The 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 investments 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.
Valuable Features
The packing density of the panels
reduces transportation, fuel, and
storage costs per installed watt.
American Made Quality
Our silicon wafers located inside
HIT solar panels are made in
Oregon, and the panels are
assembled in an IS0 9001 (quality),
14001 (environment), and 18001
(safety) certified factory. Unique
eco-packing minimizes cardboard
waste at the job site. The panels
have a Limited 20-Year Power
Output and 10-Year Product Workmanship Warranty.
