Hanwha SolarOne has signed a deal to supply 80MW of solar PV modules for a project in the Antofagasta Region, Chile. The solar installations will be powered by Hanwha SolarOne's new poly-crystalline module generation, the HSL S Series.

"Hanwha Solar is strongly expanding into emerging PV markets," said Maengyoon Kim, managing director of Hanwha SolarOne GmbH. "With its financial stability and high-quality products, our company has proven a reliable partner for investors and project planners worldwide."

The delivery, totalling 258,000 HSL 72 S Poly modules, will begin late in the first quarter 2015 and is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter. The generated power will be sold under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

Hanwha SolarOne's new S Series modules feature a four busbar design, yielding more efficient energy production and industry leading weak light and high temperature performance. All Hanwha SolarOne modules are backed by a 25-year linear power warranty and 12-year workmanship warranty.
