| Mitsubishi Electric’s “Triple Eco-approach” |
Mitsubishi Electric photovoltaic power generation systems reflect a proactive approach to environmental regulations, and the determination to supply outstanding “eco-products.” A policy of producing photovoltaic power generation systems with decreased negative impact on the planet results in the products that are gentle on the environment.
|
| Eco-products |
|
| Launching Japan’s first domestic mass production of lead-free solder photovoltaic modules has promoted the creation of products with less negative impact on the environment. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| In recent years, the acid-rain-triggered dissolving of "lead" contained in solid waste into soil or groundwater has emerged as a major dilemma, due to the impact of residual lead on the human body and the ecosystem. |
|
Refers to solder lead content with installation of 24 solar modules (lead content reduction 864g). |
|
|
| Eco-factory |
|
| Mitsubishi Electric’s photovoltaic product manufacturing plant is certified under the ISO 14001 environmental standard, and also features comprehensive water-conservation and recycling measures. We are advancing production operations with meticulous care for the environment. |

| Eco-logistics |
|
| Introduction of simplified packing contributes to major reduction in waste during shipment, while making the packaging easier to open. |

|
| Eco-friendly polystyrene-free packing designs. |
|
Adoption of recyclable steel pallets. |
|
|
| Approach to Photovoltaic Inverters |
| Compliance with European RoHS Directive* |
|
 |
|
Adoption of lead-free solder for substrates, power modules and other products in compliance with the European RoHS Directive (governing chemical substance content in products).
(*) RoHS Directive: EU Directive on the restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electric equipment. This decree is structured to regulate the use of six specified hazardous substances in all electrical and electric equipment sold in European Union member countries from July 2006. |
|
|
| Compliance with European WEEE Directive* |
|
 |
|
Targeting eco-friendly processing of our photovoltaic inverters after the end of their service lives, Mitsubishi Electric labels these products with the WEEE Mark (based on the European WEEE Directive*).
(*) WEEE Directive: EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, rendering producers liable for the recovery and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment. |
