Now that Panasonic has officially acquired more than 50 percent of Sanyo, it is now Japan’s second largest electronic giant. Panasonic and Sanyo have already test-manufactured a storage battery for home use, and Panasonic plans to accelerate the development of the storage battery, while planning to sell it together with a system that will enable households to check electricity usage on a home-based TV display. Currently, solar batteries for home use and fuel cells can generate power, but they cannot store electricity. This will be a great development for the residential solar industry. Sanyo believes their storage battery will also have applications in automobile cells for eco-friendly cars such as hybrids or electric vehicles.
