Sanyo Solar Cells Battery Technology
Sanyo Electric said on plants, sold in 2013 will be known outside the world’s highest conversion rate of the next generation solar cells. It is reported that Sanyo intends to convert around 20% of the previous rate increase to 23% to 21% is expected to surpass the current world and the U.S. industry SunPower.
The next generation of solar systems to research and development alone Sanyo HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thinlayer) solar cells developed for the benchmark new products, due to thin with exclusive technology, successfully reduced the thickness to 100 microns, less than the old product half of silicon and can reduce the amount due, and help reduce the cost of materials.
Sanyo Electric plans first in 2012 in Hyogo Prefecture, Amagasaki City, Panasonic plasma panel plant for mass production, and to consider beginning in 2013, in Hungary, the United States and other overseas production bases.
Sanyo is committed to enhance the conversion efficiency of solar cells, however the efforts of the past 5 years, only less than 1 percentage point pulled, Sanyo aims to introduce new technologies, speed up the performance speed.
On the other hand, Sanyo response to market demand, the color intended to enhance the shore of its two plants and Shiga cause HIT solar cell production capacity, two-color Bin plant annual capacity from the current 35 million watts (MWp) increased to 40 million watts; Shiga cause the production capacity will increase from 200 megawatts to 250 megawatts.
