TOKYO, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Japan’s Panasonic Corp will cease production of its own solar panels, national broadcaster NHK and the Nikkei newspaper reported on Sunday, reporting that the company’s decision was due to increasing price competition from Chinese manufacturers.
The Nikkei reported that the company will end manufacturing of solar cells and panels as early as March at factories in Malaysia and Japan’s Shimane prefecture.
In the future, Panasonic will source solar panels from other manufacturers, both the NHK and Nikkei said.
Reuters was not immediately able to reach a Panasonic representative for comment. (Reporting by Mari Saito; Editing by Raju Goplakrishnan)

Lucky for Robe s Tom O Reilly, there was a dire need for brewers when he finished his Bachelor of Science seven years ago.
It may seem like an unexpected career choice for a plant and soil science major with an interest in human biology and agroecology. [With beer making], you re basically trying to hit a whole range of different numbers, temperature, timing, pH levels and sugar concentrations, Mr O Reilly said.
To do all of that by hand, he said, took a lot of time and skill.
