SunWize Technologies, a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co. (NasdaqGS:
MITSY) announced it has been selected as the launch partner for Sanyo
Electric’s (6764.T) new solar power module.
Beginning in early April, SunWize will be the first North American
partner to carry the Sanyo HIT Power N Series module, featuring
Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer (HIT) solar cells. These solar
cells are composed of mono-crystalline wafers surrounded by ultra thin
layers of amorphous silicon.
Sanyo in February began construction of a new facility in Japan to expand production of the solar module.
SunWize Technologies specializes in the design and manufacture
of solar energy systems, product distribution, and associated project
development. The Company operates a manufacturing and distribution
facility in Kingston, New York, serving as the company headquarters; a
distribution warehouse in Willits, California; a manufacturing and
distribution center in Rancho Cucamonga, California; and regional sales
offices throughout the US and Canada.
"SunWize has the unique capability to launch the HIT POWER N
Series simultaneously through its large nationwide network of
independent installers and its rapidly growing SunWize Systems team,"
says Yoshinori Kaido, Vice President at SANYO Energy, and Head of
SANYO’s North American solar business. "This fact, coupled with 7 years
of strong and proven partnership, made SunWize our best choice as a
product launch partner."
