The solar power plant will be powered by a total of 258,000 Hanwha SolarOne HSL S Series polycrystalline modules with delivery commencing late in the first quarter of 2015 to be completed in the second quarter. The power generated by the project will be sold under a power purchase agreement.
The HSL S Series is a replacement for the HSL Series incorporating a slimmer frame and savings in warehousing and shipping costs as well as improved performance. The company decided to move from a three busbar to a four busbar design in order to shorten the current distance and reduce resistance loss in each cell. This in turn is expected to improve efficiency and increase module output. The module also benefits from an improved temperature coefficient which reduces efficiency loss in high temperatures.
“Hanwha Solar is strongly expanding into emerging PV markets” said Maengyoon Kim, managing director of Hanwha SolarOne GmbH. “With its financial stability and high-quality products, our company has proven a reliable partner for investors and project planners worldwide.”
Hanwha SolarOne's new S Series modules feature a four busbar design, yielding more efficient energy production and industry leading weak light and high temperature performance.
All Hanwha SolarOne modules are backed by a 25-year linear power warranty and 12-year workmanship warranty.
Hanwha SolarOne is a top global module manufacturer and a flagship company of the South Korean Hanwha Group. The company supplies the utility, commercial, government and residential markets through a network of third-party distributors, OEM manufacturers and system integrators. It maintains a strong global presence which spans Europe, North America, Asia, South America, Africa and the Middle East.
