Solar storage system provides for the power shortage area of ​​Panasonic

Panasonic Corporation today announced that it has successfully developed Eneloop Solar Storage - a small storage system used to light LED bulbs for residential areas. Residential has not yet had access to the regular power grid. This product will be supplied by Panasonic in many areas in Asia (including Vietnam) and Africa from November this year.

Panasonic says Eneloop Solar Storage is a compact solar collection, storage and lighting system . Electricity is generated from photovoltaic panels during the day and stored in a nickel-metal hydride battery. And at night, the system can be used to light or charge batteries for small devices like mobile phones. The lighting device that comes with Eneloop Solar Storage includes a circular LED light bulb and a LED tube light that provides high lighting efficiency and better light quality.

According to the 2014 statistics of the International Energy Agency (IEA), there are still about 1.3 billion people globally who live in many areas without electricity or are often interrupted. This means that approximately 20% of the world's population or 5 people have 1 person living in the absence of the most basic utilities of electricity. In most areas without electricity, people still use oil lamps, rechargeable lights, diesel generators . to provide light. However, such lighting devices have many drawbacks such as harmful emissions, low light intensity, and high operating costs. Meanwhile, the mobile network infrastructure is covered in such areas, ironically, people lack the necessary infrastructure to recharge mobile devices, so is it? .

Panasonic is committed to providing a clean, safe and reliable power supply solution. In 2013, the company launched a solar lantern with Solar Lantern and this year Eneloop Solar Storage is waiting to be mass-produced. This system will be sold not only through existing distribution channels but also international organizations such as non-profit organizations (NPOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that can help people in these areas. There is no electricity to develop a better living environment.
