In 1980, SANYO was the first company starting mass production of amorphous solar cells. In 1997, mass production of the high efficiency, high output HIT® Photovoltaic Modules was started.
The HIT® Solar cells (thin mono crystalline silicon wafer surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers) are highly appreciated by the market not only by the characteristics of high efficiency and outstanding temperature characteristics but also because of their very high reliability.
In 2004, SANYO Component Europe GmbH, the European sales headquarter was established, followed by the module assembly production site in Hungary in 2005. SANYO Component Europe GmbH is a member of PV CYCLE and is the first member to have signed a binding participation agreement with the organisation.

SANYO Electric Co. Ltd. (SANYO) will be entering the energy solutions business with system proposals to reduce running costs and CO2 emissions for factories, schools, stores and other facilities. The company will offer systems that combine SANYO’s technologies for energy creation (solar cell), energy storage (rechargeable battery), and energy saving (commercial equipment).
The objective of SANYO’s energy solution business will be to provide Sanyo smart energy systems (SanyoSES) that reduce running costs by saving energy while greatly reducing CO2 emissions. With an SES, electricity from solar panels or from the grid, drawn late at night when power rates are cheaper, is stored in rechargeable batteries. Power conditioners are then utilized to ensure the most efficient use of power for refrigerated showcases, air conditioning, and lighting. SANYO will develop this business area by maximizing its strengths, including commercial equipment, which has secured a large market share due to energy-saving features based on heating and cooling technologies developed over many years. SANYO will also use its strength in high-quality rechargeable batteries, drawing on a wide range of technology developed for public and commercial applications, as well as HIT solar cells, which offer the world’s highest-level energy conversion efficiency at the practical level.
