In a surprising yet telling move, global lithium battery leader Panasonic has announced its decision to shut down its solar and energy storage business line, marking the end of a 25-year journey in manufacturing solar panels, inverters, and batteries for the residential market. This exit sends a clear signal across the renewable energy sector: the industry is shifting, and only those who adapt with agility and vision will lead the next chapter.
Panasonic’s withdrawal highlights the increasingly complex dynamics of the solar industry—falling component prices, rising manufacturing costs, and a technology cycle that demands faster innovation and massive capital expenditure. As Mukesh Sethi, Director of Panasonic’s Solar Division, stated, “Manufacturing has become a low-margin business. Sustaining growth requires heavy investments in new equipment for larger cell sizes and next-gen tech.”
At RECREEN Energy, we see this not as a setback for the industry, but as a powerful validation of our model.
Smart Integration Is the Future
RECREEN was founded with the belief that the future of clean energy lies not just in producing components, but in smart integration—developing intelligent, all-in-one solutions that combine inverters, batteries, and energy management systems into a seamless experience for homes and businesses.
While some manufacturers struggle to keep up with the pace of change, RECREEN is built for it. Our vertically integrated supply chain, paired with our in-house R&D and agile manufacturing model, allows us to deliver innovative products that are both high-performance and cost-effective.
