In 2010, Hanwha Group achieved total assets of approximately USD83 billion and total sales of approximately USD 27 billion. Originally established in 1952 as an industrial explosives manufacturer, Hanwha Group has actively expanded its business scope through both organic growth and corporate acquisitions. The company has presence in Asia, Middle east, Europe, America &amp; Africa. Hanwha Group is currently engaged in three core business areas: manufacturing\/construction, finance and service\/leisure.<\/p>\n<p>After Hanwha Group took over Solarfun Power Holdings Co. Ltd.in 2010, it came to be known as <strong>Hanwha SolarOne<\/strong>. It is a renewable energy company listed on NASDAQ (HSOL). Hanwha SolarOne Co. Ltd. has become the flagship of the Hanwha Solar Network, throughout the PV value chain &#8211; from the production of polysilicon to project development and financing services.<\/p>\n<h3>Hanwha Modules<\/h3>\n<p>Hanwha SolarOne solar modules are ideal for on grid &amp; off grid applications for:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Commercial<\/span> &#8211; manufactures PV cells &amp; modules for large-scale commercial and government solar applications, for 200 kW or greater, mounted on rooftops of buildings.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Residential<\/span> &#8211; offers arrays mounted flat or at a fixed inclination on rooftops.
