Sanyo has been researching photovoltaic technology since 1976, and Solec solar electric modules have been in both urban and remote use since 1967. They joined forces in 1994. Solec has pioneered major improvements in crystalline silicon PV technology for high-power PV applications, and both Solec and Sanyo hold numerous patents and proprietary advances. ISO 9001 & ISO 14001. UL 1703, cUL, and CEC listed. 20-year power output warranty.

In 1997, Sanyo introduced a product called HIT Power 21™, a hybrid that combines single crystalline cell technology with amorphous silicon cell technology for a 20% lab efficiency rating. The cell is composed of thin monocrystalline silicon wafer surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. HIT solar cells improve boundary characteristics and reduce power generation losses by forming impurity-free i-type amorphous silicon layers between the crystalline base and p- and n-type amorphous silicon layers. Minimizing power generation losses in the non-regular grid area on the solar cell surface guarantees a higher output.
