SANYO Component Europe GmbH is very pleased to announce that it will be showcasing a

variety of its energy creation and energy storage technology at Intersolar 2012, the world’s largest

solar technology trade show, to be held from June 13th to June 15th at the New Munich Trade Fair

Centre in Germany. The team will be happy to explain in detail products and projects to visitors at

Stand A1, 170. A live stage will see presentations and discussions to further attract and inspire

guests at the Panasonic booth.

On April 1st 2012, SANYO’s highly appraised HIT® solar modules have been rebranded as

Panasonic HIT®. They are now an integral part of Panasonic’s new Eco Solutions domain company,

which provides comprehensive solutions for both household and business, to promote lifestyles

with virtually zero CO₂ emissions throughout the world. At the Panasonic booth, visitors can follow

the cycle from energy creation via panels, over feed-in via inverters, to storage in battery systems.

As to HIT® modules, the display will feature the new black back sheet module, on sale this

summer. With a world highest module efficiency of 18.6 % (cell conversion efficiency: 21.1%)

among black back sheet modules in the market, this is a powerful alternative for the aesthetically

minded house owner. Also on display will be the HIT® N240, the most efficient HIT® solar

module to date with a module conversion efficiency of 19.0 % (cell conversion efficiency: 21.6 %)

and the HIT® H250, with a module conversion efficiency of 18.0 %（cell conversion efficiency:

20.8 %）. The booth further offers closer insights into cell production, giving extra information on

HIT® solar modules, which are based on thin mono-crystalline silicon wafers surrounded by

ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. Extra efficient, HIT® modules are also renowned for their

unparalleled reliability – being the only PV manufacturer to publish their warranty claims,

Panasonic is proud to state an incredibly low 0.0023 % on product performance in the EU market.

In addition, the booth will also feature the “Smart Energy Storage System”, a Lithium-ion battery

system with customizable battery management system. The Smart Energy Storage System is ideal

for a wide variety of energy storage applications, from small scale residential systems to large scale

storage systems, allowing for a wide variety of benefits ranging from electricity cost reductions for

individual consumers by increasing self-consumption of electricity to reducing the usage of

electricity from the grid to grid stabilization for grid operators and utility companies. The system

has been successfully adapted by industry partners launching their products in the spring of 2012.

As Panasonic is aiming to become the No 1 Green Energy Company in the Electronics Industry by

2018, the company is moving towards providing solutions for clean, sustainable energy. And the

effects have been most inspiring, as visitors will agree after seeing the presentation on the Tokai

University Solar Car, which won the World Solar Challenge 2011
