Crystalline silicon solar cell and HIT solar cell structure comparison
The SANYO HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) solar cell is composed of a single thin crystalline silicon wafer surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. This product provides industry-leading performance and value using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.
High output produced by minimizing power generation losses in the non-regular grid area on the solar cell surface.
HIT solar cells improve boundary characteristics and reduce power generation losses by forming impurity-free i-type amorphous silicon layers between the crystalline base and p- and n-type amorphous silicon layers.
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 GuaranteeSANYO’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 PerformanceAs temperatures rise, HIT Power solar panels produce 10% or more electricity
(kWh) than conventional crystalline silicon solar panels at the same temperature.
Proprietary TechnologyHIT 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.
Structural StrengthHIT 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 FeaturesHIT 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 ProductsSANYO 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.
