The reliability of a HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) as a hybrid solar panels with high conversion efficiency has been dominated by Sanyo as a subsidiary of Panasonic. Sanyo has recently installed its HIT solar modules for a solar power plant at Torre Santa Susanna, Southeast Italy, which its claimed as the world's largest solar power plants that use HIT solar modules.
The solar farm is one of the largest tracking solar power plant in Europe which installed with 32.202 Sanyo HIT solar modules in an area of 19 hectare. Its able to produce power up to 7.567 Megawatts, enough to provide power for 3.300 homes. Actually, power plant construction has been completed by the end of last year, but the newly installed Sanyo HIT solar modules on last April.
The project AUD $ 54,170,000 worth is an initiative of the Deutsche Bank's finance that collaborated with Energie & Solar Technik GmbH, dean Solar GmbH, and the Sanyo company. Sanyo HIT solar panels has reach 21.2% efficiency and its has good ability in high temperatures with smaller footprint, suitable for less roof space area.
