I don't know my HIPs from my HITs either, but I don't think you're correct, Jason. I checked a bunch of pdfs of spec sheets for various Sanyo modules, and it just left me more confused.

The Sanyo HIP-190BA3/195BA3/200BA3 is a single-face module from around 2006. On the spec sheet is written: "SANYO HIT1 solar cells are hybrids, made of thin mono crystal
silicon surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers....SANYO HIT solar panels have a black anodized aluminum frame, come pre-equipped with lead wires and plug-n-play connectors.

The HIT Power 200 from 2008 has on its spec sheet "HIT Power 200 or HIP-200BA19"; also single-face.

The HIT Power 215N is listed on the spec sheet as "HIT Power 215N or HIP-215NKHA5".

The HIT Power 200A is only an HIT; the specs list it as "HIT Power 220A or HIT-N220A01", and there's no mention of HIP on the sheet.

Enough already! Marco, can you send out the Photon article after all? I don't think you were mistaken. Maybe we have a real concern here after all.

I believe the HIP denotes bifacial HIT modules. These are exactly what is being proposed on the project I am working on. Might need an alternative!

I don't know my HIPs from my HITs...wait that didn't sound right...but you see my problem. "Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer" = HIT. What = HIP?

Thanks for taking a moment to address this question. Marco & others: if anyone can find a Sanyo Tech Person who would join the Wrench List, it would help us all and probably also help Sanyo.

Jolliness,

Esteemed colleagues,

 

Regarding the Sanyo problems, I was mistaken.

 

They’re having problems with their HIP models.

 

I’m seeking clarification from the author of the article who I know to see whether there have been any HIT problems as well.

 

My apologies.

 

marco
