In a significant move towards corporate sustainability, Panasonic Energy Limited has successfully commissioned a new solar-plus-storage system at its manufacturing facility in Thailand. The project, powered by technology from global solutions provider GoodWe, represents a key step in Panasonic’s efforts to enhance energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint in the region.
Strategic Energy Management with Advanced Technology
The core of the installation is a sophisticated GoodWe high-voltage energy storage system. According to project specifications, this includes a 1xET50 Hybrid Inverter paired with three BAT 102.4 kWh battery units. This configuration is meticulously designed to optimize energy costs through Time-of-Use (TOU) management. The system intelligently stores electrical energy from the grid during off-peak hours when prices are lower and discharges it during peak demand periods, thereby reducing reliance on expensive grid power and bolstering the facility’s energy resilience.
This smart energy deployment is crucial for facilities with a complex manufacturing process, ensuring a stable power supply while actively managing operational expenses. By integrating renewable energy solutions, Panasonic is also positively influencing its overall manufacturing plant cost breakdown through significant long-term energy savings.
Supporting Thailand’s National Energy Goals
This project aligns perfectly with Thailand’s ambitious national energy policy, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its total energy mix to 30% by the year 2037. With industrialization and urbanization driving an estimated 2.7% annual growth in energy consumption, solutions like GoodWe’s solar-plus-storage system are critical for sustainable development. The success of this installation demonstrates the viability of distributed energy resources in the commercial and industrial sectors, which form the backbone of the nation’s economy.
