8th December 2024
MALAYSIA: A 5.2MW solar power generation system installed at Panasonic’s air conditioning factory in Malaysia is expected to provide approximately 20% of the facility’s electricity requirement.
Described as one of the largest systems in the Panasonic Group, the 9,461 solar panels, mainly on the roof of the 31,786 m2 factory, are expected to generate approximately 5,900MWh of electricity per year and reduce CO2 emissions by around 3,912 tons per year.
The Malaysian facility manufactures room air conditioners, commercial air conditioners, A2W heat pump hot water heaters and compressors.
The Panasonic Group aims to achieve net zero CO2 emissions at all of its operating companies’ facilities by 2030.
