TOKYO —
\nPanasonic is pulling out of its partnership with Tesla to produce solar panels at a factory in New York state, the Japanese electronics maker said Wednesday. <\/p>\n

\nPanasonic’s production at the factory in Buffalo will end by May, with an exit by September, it said in a statement. The decision is to streamline the company’s global solar energy operations, it said. <\/p>\n

\nPanasonic will continue making batteries for Tesla’s electric vehicles in another factory in Nevada, it said. <\/p>\n

\nPanasonic also quoted Tesla as saying that the move won’t affect Tesla’s solar business plans.<\/p>\n

\nPanasonic will also continue selling solar panels under its brand in the U.S. through its own distribution channels, it said. <\/p>\n

\nThe two companies’ agreement to work on solar energy was announced in 2016. <\/p>\n

\nPanasonic will offer severance packages to employees at the Buffalo plant. Tesla will hire as many as possible of those who wish to keep working there, according to Panasonic. <\/p>\n

\nTesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe decision to transition away from U.S. solar manufacturing in Buffalo aligns with our global solar strategy,” said Panasonic executive Shinichiro Nakajima. <\/p>\n

\nPanasonic is a major manufacturer of home appliances, such as washing machines and refrigerators, but its operations include services and products for businesses. <\/p>\n

\nTesla, based in Palo Alto, California, leads the world in electric vehicle sales. <\/p>\n

\nCompetition from cheaper Chinese manufacturing of solar components has posed a problem for Panasonic as it strives to reposition itself for future growth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
