About Hanover Solar
Hanover Solar GmbH, based in Hannover, is a solar module manufacturer and supplier that has been active on the market since 2008. The portfolio comprises monocrystalline PV modules (standard and full-black modules), bifacial glass-glass modules, and HJT modules with efficiencies above 22 % and outputs ranging from approximately 115 W to 610 W. A key focus is custom modules: frame colors, cell type, output, materials, cable lengths, connection solutions, and integrated mounting systems for flat and pitched roofs, factory halls, facades, and solar furniture are designed according to customer requirements. Production takes place on automated ABB production lines with a combined annual capacity of 300 MW for modules and cells. From the Hannover headquarters, sales and warehousing for the German market are managed; a European warehouse in Amsterdam with weekly container deliveries supplies European distribution, and there is also a branch in Italy. The modules are used in commercial and residential projects in Europe, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Each module undergoes up to six individual inspections before packaging, including flash testing and electroluminescence testing.

Additional services
Quality & Certification
Each module undergoes up to six individual inspections before packaging, including flash testing and electroluminescence testing, the results of which are archived in a database. In addition, infrared scans, thermal cycling tests, damp heat, UV, wind load (IEC 61215), water tightness (IEC 61730), PID, ammonia, and salt spray tests are performed.
