The two new models of the HD-Series on sale in Europe are the HIT-H250E01, with an output of 250 W and a module efficiency of 18.0 percent, and the HIT-H245E01, with an output of 245 W and a module efficiency of 17.7 percent.
The HIT HD-Series has been developed specifically for the European market and is available at specialized SANYO dealers.
Characteristics:
1. HIT HD effective use of resources and design
The new HIT HD-Series modules Sanyos successful HIT cell technology in a new format. Four cell elements constitute a hexagonal, honeycomb shaped design, which reduces the waste during manufacture and makes optimal use of the modules surface area. The result is a compact module with a high efficiency that can achieve a high power output even on a small surface area.
2. Improved light absorption thanks to anti-reflection glass
The new modules of the HD-Series make use of anti-reflection glass which reduces the loss caused by the reflection and diffusion of the sunlight. Due to improved light absorption, more sunlight reaches the cells, which increases their efficiency. This effect can be best observed in the mornings and evenings when the sun is low in the sky.
3. Cost-efficient installation thanks to a low voltage
Since the cells are partly connected in parallel to each other, the HIT HD-Series has a lower voltage than the previous models. In this way, a single string with 20 modules and a capacity of 5 kWp can be configured. In contrast, the previous NKHE series could only reach a 3.65 kWp capacity with a single string. The lower amount of parallel strings and a simplified configuration reduces costs for materials and installation.
4. Product line-up suitable to the European market
The new HD-Series modules provide the ideal solution in countries where the Feed-in Tariff favours systems with a certain maximum power output. For example, for the HIT-H250E01 with its 250W power output, 12 modules provide exactly 3 kWp for systems in Italy or France, while 16 modules generate exactly 4kWp for systems in the UK.
