From April 1, 2012, the brand of HIT solar modules in Europe will be changed from "SANYO" to "Panasonic"

Dear SANYO customer,

from April 1, 2012, the brand for HIT® solar modules will be changed from “SANYO“ to “Panasonic“ in Europe. The change will be made to the brand only. There will be no change to the sales structure and the HIT ® solar modules will continue to be manufactured at the same SANYO production bases as before.

The brand change will be carried out throughout in Europe. The brand change to “Panasonic” is being carried
out in order to focus the management resources of the Panasonic Group in order to create greater synergy and is part of the global strategy to expand the solar business of the Panasonic Group.

Panasonic will continue to provide investment into the solar business, allowing us to offer our customers and business partners a higher level of service and high quality solar modules.

Shigeki Komatsu,
Director of the European Solar Division
