The opening of an office in Israel signifies an important initial step for improving service to customers in Israel. Hanwha SolarOne will now focus on investing in strong partnerships with installers, EPCs, and developers.

Hanwha SolarOne will be showcasing its polycrystalline modules SF220 and SF260 at the Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Conference from Nov. 27-29. Hanwha SolarOne's booth, No. 02-04, will be offering information about the company's portfolio and services.

Hanwha SolarOne provides cost-competitive, high quality PV modules and is the flagship company of Hanwha Solar, which is the solar business network of Fortune 500-ranked Hanwha Group. Serving the utility, commercial, and residential markets for a growing network of third-party distributors and system integrators, Hanwha SolarOne maintains a strong global presence with employees located throughout Europe, North America, and Asia.
