SANYO HIT Solar

SANYO HIT Solar, a leading solar technology company, announced that as of April 1, 2012, its HIT® Solar brand will be rebranded as Panasonic HIT® Solar. The HIT® technology, which stands for Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer, utilizes a proprietary hybrid solar cell design that combines single crystalline silicon wafers with ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. This unique structure minimizes defects within the cell, resulting in highly efficient solar cells capable of achieving higher efficiency and producing more power even at higher temperatures.
