Panasonic Has Saved on CO2 with Solar

Improving their Sustainability

Founded in 1918, electronic components company Panasonic is already dedicated to improving its sustainability and abides by the packaging and packaging waste legislation by making available information and classification of the packaging materials used for its shipping products.

Panasonic takes its social responsibility seriously and ensures a high-quality recycling process for our products when they become waste. For devices that have been used commercially or in public institutions – so-called B2B devices – they have provided convenient return and disposal solutions for their customers. They were keen to advance their green credentials by installing a solar panel system on one of their offices.

Following Panasonic contacting us, our dedicated team at Geo Green Power installed a 30kW solar PV system for Panasonic Electric Works UK Ltd – a modest-sized system which is generating a surprising amount of electricity!

Geo Green Power’s installation on Panasonic Electric Works UK Ltd offices in Milton Keynes forms part of the leading supplier of consumer and business electronics’ ambition to be carbon neutral in terms of their energy by 2030 and energy positive by 2050. Robert Dixon, Technical Sales Manager, said:

“As a global organisation, Panasonic has 100s of offices and locations worldwide. This is just a small office, and a small step, but all those steps soon add up to a large impact.”

On Geo Green Power’s installation process, Robert added,

“I was really pleased with the installation process. Geo Green Power’s team was able to do all the physical install and they seemed to snap the panels together like perfect Lego sets. It was seamless, I was really impressed with the guys and really pleased with the job.”

Their Results

Panasonic Electric Works UK Ltd is regularly monitoring its system and has seen a significant impact on its imported electricity usage. Robert added,

“It’s really quite interesting to see what you can produce from what is a relatively modest system. We estimated that we were using about 80kWh of energy from the grid every day. On a sunny day, we’re now generating up to 200kWh so we’re easily saving around 70% of our energy costs.”

Panasonic is committed to environmental solutions through its products and services, and the team at Milton Keynes is delighted to be contributing towards Panasonic’s worldwide ambition to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to clean energy.
