Ottobrunn, January 15, 2018 — Panasonic Eco Solutions Europe today introduced its newest product innovation, the HIT® KURO ("kuro" is the Japanese word for "black"). With a 325 Wp and a 320 Wp version, this module has a uniform dark appearance. Boasting a module efficiency of 19.4% (for the 325 Wp version), the panel is a perfect fit for most residential rooftops. The new "all-black" panel is backed by Panasonic's track record as an industry leader in reliability within the renewable energy field. Designed to offer optimal efficiency and stylish aesthetics, the HIT® KURO photovoltaic module will blend in seamlessly with most rooftops and begins cutting electricity bills for customers from the moment that they're installed and start to operate.
