Panasonic's solar business India operations awarded "The Best Rooftop Solar Module Company"

The Chairman of SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India) Upendra Tripathi and CMD of IREDA (Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency) K.S. Popli - Both Central Govt subsidiary companies of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) conferred the awards at the IRSS Indian Rooftop Solar Summit organised by the First View Group & Solar Quarter in New Delhi recently.

The High Efficiency Photovoltaic Module HIT is manufactured using advanced technology and is an ideal match for the Indian environmental conditions as it offers more energy production per square meter of area utilized and lowest negative temperature coefficient.

On this occasion, Krishnan Rajagopalan, Head Solar Business for Panasonic in India says, “India is facing a major challenge as it evolves to be a self-sufficient and efficient nation using non-conventional sources for producing power. The Union Government has significantly expanded its solar plans, targeting US$100 billion of investment and 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022. The need of the hour is to deploy high efficiency modules that offer better response to environmental conditions in the roof top segment (particularly commercial and industrial units). Customers are now opting to pay the extra premium, to have secured and long term cash flows.”

Shigeki Komatsu, General Manager of Solar Business Unit, Japan mentions, “Panasonic will be releasing larger capacity photovoltaic module HIT (294Wp, 325Wp and 330 Wp) for B2B market shortly. These modules will reduce the balance of system costs for clients and make it more compact and also provide higher power density.”
