Sanyo HIP-190BA3, HIT 190 Watt Solar Panel

The SANYO HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer) solar cell is made of a thin single crystalline silicon wafer surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. This product is a leader in quality and performance using advanced manufacturing techniques.

Sanyo's HIT panels use a blend of amorphous and crystalline silicon to deliver a high cell conversion efficiency. All Sanyo panels feature MC connectors/cables pre-wired into a conduit-ready junction box and are equipped with factory installed bypass diodes to provide circuit protection. The anodized aluminum tubular frames are designed for top down mounting clips.

Sanyo solar panels are ideal for grid-tie applications. Unlike other panels that include a guarantee of plus or minus 10% of their rated output, Sanyo offers a unique guarantee that their panels never produce less than the rated power output. Sanyo panels also outperform all other panels due to the fact that they maintain higher voltages at higher temperatures - which means more power and better performance. The result is one of the highest Performance Test Condition ratings per watt (W ptc) for higher rebates in California. Performance Test Condition testing simulates the real-world, high cell temperature that panels are subjected to in the field.

The HIT 190 panel has a cell conversion efficiency of 18.5% and a panel conversion efficiency of 16.1% that is significantly higher than conventional SANYO solar cells.

High conversion efficiency and lightweight design conserve space and weight. The outstanding conversion efficiency and high power output of the HIT 190 save approximately 20% of installation space. HIT 190 panels can be installed on narrow roof spaces which previously presented difficulties. In addition, with fewer solar panels, there is less weight on the roof.

* Due to the high global demand being placed by the Japanese and European markets current availability on solar panels may be 2 to 4 weeks back ordered. Considering our warehouse inventory changes daily. Please email for current instock availability on any panels. Any orders placed will not be charged until item physically ships.

** Due the physical size of the Sanyo HIT 190 Solar Panel it exceeds the physical shipping charcteristics and will be required to be shipped by freight truck. (Be Advised)

*** Shipping charges: The UPS shipping program does NOT figure shipping charges correctly on larger items ordered online, such as panels. Over a certain size, they go by "dimensional weight". This has the effect of making a 35 pound panel get charged at the 70 pound rate - on the other hand, TWO panels would cost the same. The online calculations may be a little bit low for a single solar panel 60 watts or higher.
