New modules available immediately to customers worldwide; first
shipments already delivered to North America
Hanwha SolarOne, a top-10 global photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer
of high-quality, cost-competitive solar modules, today introduced
the new S Series PV modules at Solar Power International. The new
modules are available immediately to customers worldwide. Hanwha
SolarOne is already shipping them to customers in North America.
The new S modules feature significant improvements in cost,
performance and quality, and are available in both 60 and 72 cell
models.
The new S Series solar photovoltaic
module by Hanwha SolarOne features a slimmer frame which reduces
material and shipping costs, a four busbar design yielding more
efficient energy production and industry leading weak light and
high temperature performance. The 72 cell HSL 72S module is seen

“The new S Series solar modules are a perfect melding of South
Korean quality with Chinese cost efficiencies,” said Mr. Seong-woo
Nam, chief executive officer of Hanwha SolarOne. “The slimmer frame
will offer real savings in material and shipping costs, while the
improved performance and overall quality offer great value and
return on investment.”
Cost
The slimmer frame of the new modules significantly reduces
material and shipping costs. The HSL 60S module’s 32 millimeter
frame is 20 percent slimmer than previous generations, while the
HSL 72S module’s 40 millimeter frame is 11 percent slimmer. Despite
the slimmer frame, both modules maintain rating for snow loads of
5400Pa and wind loads of 4000Pa.
Performance
The biggest technological advancement in the new module is a
four busbar cell architecture. Moving from a three to four busbar
design results in shorter current distance and less resistance loss
within each cell, yielding greater energy efficiency and higher
module power output.
The new modules also boast industry leading performance of two
important features: temperature coefficient and weak light
performance. The improved temperature coefficient reduces
efficiency loss in high temperature climates, improving from -.43
percent to -.41 percent in the S Series. The weak light performance
improves from 96 to 97 percent, which translates into more energy
on a cloudy day.
Quality
The S Series is a new frontier in quality and reliability for
Hanwha SolarOne. The new modules will be produced entirely on
automated lines, ensuring consistent and uniform quality. The
advancement in quality is underscored by an increase in the first
year power guarantee of the linear power warranty on the S Series
modules to 97.5 percent, with an overall increase of 2 percent over
the 25 year life of the warranty.
Hanwha SolarOne will exhibit the new modules at Solar Power
International taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 21-23, booth
#1326.
