Three new PV modules from Hanwha

By Robin Whitlock on May 22, 2012

Hanwha Solar has developed three new solar PV modules, two of them mono-crystalline and the third a mono-like polycrystalline module.

The HSL48M6 is a 48-cell mono-crystalline module that has a maximum module efficiency of 15.7% with a total output of 210 W. The 60-cell HSL60M6 meanwhile can reach 15.7% efficiency with a total output of 260 W. Both modules feature six-inch mono-crystalline PV cells and offer 1% to 2% higher efficiency than polycrystalline modules according to a company press release.

The mono-like module, HSL72P6, has a maximum efficiency of 15.2% and 300 W output. Although it is a polycrystalline module it has a similar structure to mono-crystalline modules giving an energy efficiency conversion rate that is comparable to many mono-crystalline modules but at a lower price.

Hanwha has stated that its major aim is to be one of the most popular producers of solar panels in Europe.

Did you know?

Earn Money via the Feed-In TarrifThe Government's Feed-In Tariff was launched on April 1st 2010 to encourage homeowners to generate their own electricity - it is split into two methods of revenue.

The Generation Tariff earns you a fixed income for every kilowatt hour of electricity you generate. And, The Export Tariff earns you income for every kilowatt hour you generate and sell back to the grid.

An average 3/4 bedroom house fitted with 2.5kw Solar PV panels and normal electricity usage would earn over £850 p/a tax free!

Add this to an approximate £145 reduction in your electricity usage and you could benefit by over £1,000 per year.
