Today, Panasonic Corporation of North America and Olympic champion Michael Phelps announced the completed installation of a state-of-the-art Panasonic solar energy system on Phelps’ home. The system is designed to power his Arizona home on solar energy using 90 solar panels and 4 battery units, reducing the overall home energy usage by up to 70% and providing back-up battery storage.

As a passionate supporter of renewable energy solutions, the decision to partner with Panasonic on the installation stems from Phelps and Panasonic’s shared commitment to promote environmental responsibility and a vision for a greener planet.

Michael Phelps, said:

I am passionate about clean energy and a sustainable future for both my family and the world.

“For me, now having four kids, I want to make the world better for them. Panasonic’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, including developing the technologies to create a cleaner future such as high-performance solar panels and home energy storage, is why I have chosen to work with them this year to outfit my own home with a Panasonic solar energy system,” said Phelps.
