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.
