LONDON, March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
SANYO Component Europe GmbH (SANYO), a group company of
Panasonic, is very pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting
at this year's Ecobuild, the world's biggest event for sustainable
design, construction and the built environment, to be held at ExCeL
London in the UK from Tuesday 20 - Thursday 22 March 2012. This year, SANYO will be
exhibiting at Stand Nr. N3910.
At the booth this year, special focus will be on the upcoming
"Panasonic" brand change for SANYO HIT® solar modules, which will
take affect from 1 April 2012. Sales
and marketing staff will be on hand at the booth to explain the
shift to the Panasonic brand and answer any questions that visitors
may have about the brand change.
In addition, the team will also be displaying information about
the Panasonic HIT Premium Installer Programme, the company's
dedicated PV installer support programme. Launched in September 2011 in the UK following similar
successful schemes introduced in other countries in Europe, the programme is designed to support
PV installers in the UK, providing them with sales leads from their
region, the latest information on products and technology and their
own customisable micro site to help promote their business. At the
booth, potential participants of the programme will have the
opportunity to learn first-hand about the programme and see the
benefits it can bring to their business.
On display at the booth will be a number of models from the
highly-acclaimed HIT®[1] solar
module series. HIT® solar modules are based on thin mono
crystalline silicon wafers surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous
silicon layers to deliver high conversion efficiency, outstanding
temperature characteristics and higher output power on a given roof
area compared to conventional crystalline modules. Exhibited at the
booth this year will be the HIT® N240, the company's most efficient
HIT® solar module to date with a module conversion efficiency of
19.0%, the HIT® HD250, with a module conversion efficiency of
18.0%, and the HIT® Double bifacial solar module series, as well as
a preview of the upcoming "Black Back-Sheet" solar module.
Panasonic is committed to providing products and services that
meet the needs of the European solar market. By drawing on the
group's expertise in solar and battery technology, the company is
aiming to become "No. 1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics
Industry" by 2018.
[1] The name "HIT®" comes from
"Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer".
