Hanwha SolarOne Co. Ltd. (the “Company,” or “Hanwha SolarOne”) (Nasdaq: HSOL), a top-10 global photovoltaic manufacturer of high-quality, cost-competitive solar modules, today announced that four solar farms with a total of 60 MWp of Hanwha SolarOne’s high performance HSL 60 PV modules were completed by vogt solar ltd., a fully-owned subsidiary of ib vogt GmbH, in March 2014. The projects are located in the southern parts of the United Kingdom.

ib vogt GmbH is specialized in the development, financing, turnkey realization, operation and asset management of large scale solar power plants.
“The implementation of several parks within a limited time frame and partly in parallel requires a high level of experience, tight planning and streamlined processes,” said Carl von Braun, Managing Director and CFO of ib vogt GmbH. “These projects represent the largest PV parks we have realized in U.K to date. With high quality products and reliable deliveries, Hanwha SolarOne strongly contributed to their successful and timely completion.”
In total, more than 230,000 high-quality HSL 60 Poly solar modules were supplied to the four projects, of which the first batch was delivered in December 2013.

"With the four solar farms connected to the grid, our durable HSL 60 modules will generate clean, reliable solar energy in the U.K for many years to come.”
