Panasonic to invest in Tesla’s plant for solar cells


TOKYO: Panasonic Corp will invest more than 30 billion yen (US$256mil) in a New York production facility of Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors to make photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, deepening a partnership of the two companies.

Japan’s Panasonic, which has been retreating from low-margin consumer electronics to focus more on automotive components and other businesses targeting corporate clients, will make the investment in Tesla’s factory in Buffalo, New York.
