TOKYO, Nov 19, 2009 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) --
SANYY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Japan's Sanyo Homes Co. on Friday
will begin selling all-electric homes equipped with lithium ion
batteries designed to provide backup power.

In addition to a 3.78kw solar power system, each home will
come with 1. 57kw lithium ion batteries made by parent Sanyo
Electric Co. (TSE:6764). Using the batteries will ensure that
the home has access to inexpensive power even at night and on
rainy days when the solar modules do not generate power. During
power failures, the homes will automatically switch to battery
power.

Each home will also have a heat-pump water heater that uses
solar energy and 10 LED light fixtures that run on
direct-current power to minimize power loss. With such
energy-saving specifications, the homes will cost 5.5 million
yen more than conventional ones but will qualify for 2.7
million yen in government subsidies. A 132 sq. meter home will
cost 31.5 million yen, or 28. 8 million yen after the
subsidy.
