Panasonic showcases comprehensive energy creation and storage solutions at Intersolar 2012

Munich (ots) - Panasonic Europe Ltd. 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 company will
explain in detail its 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.

As of April 1st 2012, SANYO's highly appraised HIT® solar modules
have been rebranded as Panasonic HIT®. They are now an integral part
of new Panasonic Eco Solutions Energy Management Europe domain
company, which provides comprehensive solutions for both households
and businesses, to promote lifestyles with virtually zero CO2
emissions throughout the world. At the Panasonic booth, visitors can
follow the cycle from energy creation via solar modules to feed-in
via inverters and to storage in battery systems.

New back sheet PV panel for design oriented house owners

On display at the booth will be the new black back sheet solar
module, on sale this summer. With the world's highest module
efficiency of 18.6 % (with a cell conversion efficiency of 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% (with a cell conversion
efficiency of 21.6%) and the HIT® H250, with a module conversion
efficiency of 18.0 % (with a cell conversion efficiency of 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. As well as having high efficiency, 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 0.0022 % on product performance in the EU
market.

In addition, the booth will also feature the "Smart Energy
Storage" (SES), a Lithium-ion battery with customizable battery
management system. The Smart Energy Storage 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. SES 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.
