The Zep Compatible solar module, which combines Zep Solar’s integrated grounding and mounting systems and manufactured with Zep Groove technology, will be available in early 2014.

Hanwha SolarOne North American president Steve Kang said that Hanwha SolarOne is always looking for innovative ways to drive down balance of system costs.

"Partnering with Zep is proven to shorten installation time and deliver more value to our customers," Kang added.

The HSL Series modules include a 25-year linear power warranty and 12-year workmanship warranty and got quality certification from International Electrotechnical Commission and Underwriters Laboratories.

Zep Solar CEO Mike Miskovsky said that the company is very happy to see Hanwha SolarOne enter as a reliable and sustainable global manufacturer of Zep Compatible PV modules; and being backed by the Hanwha Group lends well to the strength of their offering.

The Zep Compatible module will be showcased by Hanwha SolarOne at 2013 Solar Power International in Chicago, US.
