Turkey is a sun-rich country... Our country receives an average of 7.2 hours of sun per day and 2,650 hours a year. In other words, even a city located in the northernmost point of Turkey has more sunshine time, radiation and electricity production than the power plant established anywhere in Europe. Therefore, solar energy systems are becoming increasingly common in our country. Solar systems, with the advantages they provide, are now frequently encountered in residences. For home users, there are solar energy systems that will ensure that they no longer pay electricity bills. Houses can produce all of the electricity themselves and use 100% renewable energy. In Japan, we are in the first place in the solar panels market with a market share of over 20 percent. Turkey is one of the two markets that have the most important place for us among the emerging markets. For this reason, Panasonic Eco Solutions Group identifies Turkey and India as focus markets in the field of solar energy. The need for energy that depends on the outside, Turkey's policies on energy and the situation of the market in this regard provided us with enough motivation to enter this market. For this reason, we have built our future planning on 'Out of Japan', that is, non-Japanese markets. We started selling our solar panels with HIT technology in Turkey in 2015. In addition, we have smart home systems, meter and remote reading systems that we currently produce and sell in Turkey.In this way, we offer our customers solutions related to energy production, measurement and management. In particular, investors who are sensitive about quality, forward-looking return, performance and efficiency constitute our priority. We have brought technological innovation to solar panels...   To put it briefly, solar energy systems basically refer to a system based on obtaining electrical energy from sunlight. Electrical energy is generated from the sun by using the rays from the sun and the photovoltaic effect property of the semiconductors in the cells in the solar panels. In the simplest sense, these systems can usually be installed with solar panels, inverters, cables and fixing apparatus. However, as in every field, innovative technologies are being developed in solar energy systems. Very special HIT technology...  In the market; There are various technologies such as poly, mono, thin film. The technology we use; HIT technology. This technology is a structure where you can combine the resistance of amorphous silicon layers against temperature and energy efficiency in mono crystalline plates. In this way, we have developed a unique silicon HIT structure, consisting of Panasonic monocrystalline silicon plate and amorphous silicon sheets. In 2016, we became an industrial partner of the Solliance R&D project to contribute to the development of flexible perovskite solar cells, and announced our support for the work at the Solliance Netherlands production facility and the IMEC laboratory in Belgium. The development of our Panasonic HIT products, which we currently sell, have a high efficiency, -0.258%/⁰C temperature coefficient and quality that we can use in the long term, is also continuing. More energy with fewer panels...  Our biggest advantage, of course, is that we offer the best solution for investors and homeowners who cannot reach sufficient energy production capacity due to the space to be installed. Our product takes up less space than conventional poly panels on the market, which can vary between 20% and 25%. In this way, both the system cost decreases and the load on the roof decreases. Of course, for customers who have to do roof reinforcement, this is a feature that provides a great advantage in costs. With the same unit area as a reference, our Panasonic HIT panels produce 27% more energy than poly panels. It is possible to store this extra energy in batteries, transfer it to your electric vehicle or give it to the grid. Even if your roof space is limited, energy savings can be maximized. 19.4% module efficiency and 25 years linear energy generation performance...  Module efficiency refers to how your solar panels can efficiently convert captured light energy into electrical energy. Higher values mean that your panel is stronger and requires less space on your roof. It also gives you free space to expand in the future. Panasonic solar panels offer top-class module efficiency of 19.4%. Our products stand out from their counterparts with a 15-year Panasonic product warranty and 25 years of power generation performance. At the end of the 25th year, it continues to produce energy with 86.2% of its performance. Anıl AKCİ Panasonic Eco Solutions Turkey Corporate Account Sales Responsible
