Hanwha plans to market its panels in conjunction with Silent Power's battery-based system from September this year to residential, commercial and industrial markets.
Hanwha Group, the South Korean conglomerate that owns 49.5% of China-based Hanwha SolarOne, led Silent Power's Series B funding round with an $8m investment.
Hanwha says the investment is “an aggressive move into an important market downstream and lays the foundation for a robust partnership”.
