“Panasonic’s installation of an energy management system in LIV Communities marks the next phase in residential solar energy and an industry-leading step forward in sustainable housing,” said Walter Buzzelli, managing director at Panasonic Eco Solutions Canada. “As we continue to roll out projects with LIV Communities, we are excited for homeowners to realize the benefits of investing in solar and energy management technology.”

The Panasonic Residential Solar PV + Energy Storage System installation is one of the first net metering projects of its kind for Brampton Hydro One. Net metering allows customers who generate their own electricity from solar power to feed excess power back into the grid.

Panasonic’s Residential Solar PV + Energy Storage Solution uses the latest lithium-ion battery technology to capture and use solar energy. This integrated solution maximizes consumption by allowing homeowners to easily adjust the system as energy needs fluctuate. With the solar PV system, battery, and grid working together to power the home, the intelligent system takes the guesswork out of managing residential solar power. The battery system also allows the homeowner to store electricity for backup power during a grid outage.

“The collaboration with Panasonic Eco Solutions demonstrates a shift in home building towards the integration of green solutions into the overall design and offering,” said Anthony Martelli, chief operating officer, LIV Communities. “The innovative technology allows our customers to live with peace of mind knowing they are prepared for future blackouts or outages while enjoying the added benefits of sustainability and savings on electricity bills.”
