三洋重磅出击，扩大欧洲太阳能业务

    三洋电机有限公司（三洋）日前宣布，2010年将开始其太阳能和能源解决方案业务在欧洲市场全面发展和扩大。三洋公司的目标是实现到2016年3月公司在欧洲的太阳能和能源解决方案业务达到800万欧元，包扩提供光伏组件，锂离子电池系统，能量管理系统，控制器，以及全面的维修服务。
    如今，人们对清洁能源的需求日趋增长，持续发展措施独占鳌头，包括世界各国减少二氧化碳排放量数字指标设置，以减少对环境的影响。到目前为止，三洋主要是通过扩大HITR住宅应用太阳能电池业务抢占欧洲市场，该产品具有世界一流的能量转换高效率和优良的温度配合特点。
    本财年开始，三洋现在欧洲开始了能源解决方案业务，如在工厂和设施二氧化碳排放量大幅减少的企业，学校和商店，通过安装其智能能源系统（SES），三洋结合了自身的能源技术代（光伏系统），能源储存（可充电电池），和能源效率设备等。该系统将最优控制清洁能源光伏模块的生成并存储充电电池中，如空调和照明设备的能源等。该系统可供小规模应用，也可供如家庭，便利店等中等规模的应用，还能实现如工厂的大规模应用，实现清洁能源的有效利用。
    通过在欧洲全面发展太阳能和能源解决方案业务，三洋在减少全球变暖对世界环境的负面影响方面举足轻重。
    SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) has announced that it will begin full-scale development and expansion of its solar and energy solutions business in the European market in 2010. SANYO is aiming to achieve a business scale of 800 million Euros in its solar and energy solutions business in Europe by March 2016, providing photovoltaic modules, lithium-ion battery systems, energy management systems that include controllers, as well as a comprehensive maintenance service.

    Today there is growing demand for clean energy, given the continued advancement of measures to reduce effects on the environment, including the setting of numerical targets for CO2 emission reductions in countries around the world. So far, SANYO has expanded its HITR solar cell business mainly through residential applications in the European market, thanks to the product's world highest-class energy conversion efficiency and superior temperature co-efficiency characteristics.

    Starting this fiscal year, SANYO will now develop its energy solutions business in Europe by offering a substantial reduction in running costs and CO2 emissions for facilities such as factories, schools and stores, through its Smart Energy System (SES) which combine SANYO technologies for energy generation (photovoltaic systems), energy storage (rechargeable batteries), and energy efficiency (commercial equipment, etc.). The system will optimally control clean energy generated by photovoltaic modules and stored into rechargeable batteries to supply equipment such as air conditioning and lighting with the energy. It can be installed in small-scale applications such as homes, medium-scale applications such as convenience stores, and large-scale applications such as factories to realize a more effective use of clean energy.

    By engaging in full-scale development and expansion of its solar and energy solutions business in Europe, SANYO will play a key role in reducing the negative effects of global warming on the world's environment.
