SunWize to Distribute AUO Solar Modules

AU Optronics Corporation (AUO) and SunWize Technologies have reached an agreement for distribution of AUO’s solar PV products in North America. SunWize will distribute AUO’s full line of solar PV products to its vast network of solar installers. AUO’s product line includes the newly released AC Unison, a high-efficiency AC module with an integrated microinverter. AC Unison is designed for simple plug-and-play installation, high performance and great rooftop aesthetics. It offers long-term warranty that covers both the inverter and the module. Other AUO products include GreenTriplex, an all black monocrystalline module with high power output, and EcoDuo, a multi-purpose polycrystalline module manufactured to AUO’s strict quality standards.

Listed on the New York Stock Exchange and a world leading high-tech manufacturer, AUO has aggressively moved into solar PV manufacturing with full vertical integration, from raw polysilicon processing all the way to finished PV modules with integrated microelectronics. AUO’s upstream manufacturing capabilities and SunWize’s downstream distribution strength will form a strong partnership that will benefit North American solar installers.

“We are pleased to be AUO’s distribution partner in North America for their innovative products. The AC Unison simplifies solar system design, installation, and maintenance, saving installers time and money, and giving them the assurance of a long-term warranty for both the module and inverter,” said David Kaltsas, chief strategy officer of SunWize Technologies. “SunWize was impressed throughout our comprehensive evaluation of AUO’s products and manufacturing facilities.”

“We are dedicated to providing customers high energy yield and high efficiency solar cells, modules, and integrated solar system solutions,” said James Chen, vice president of AUO Solar Business Group. “Customers can purchase AUO’s high quality PV products and experience reliable service through SunWize anywhere in North America.”
