businesses with hi-tech storage solutions for energy self-sufficiency * 
 
*Reduces energy bills and CO2 emissions* 
 
*YVERDON LES BAINS, Switzerland, February 16, 2018*: Leclanché SA (SIX: 
LECN), one of the world's leading energy storage solution companies, 
announced today a partnership with Imeon Energy, developer of intelligent 
inverters for solar installations, to provide homes and small businesses in 
Switzerland with hi-tech storage solutions for energy self-sufficiency and 
to reduce their energy bills and CO2 emissions. 
 
Under the agreement, Leclanché will package Imeon Energy's new generation 
hybrid solar inverters with its lithium-ion energy battery storage products. 
The solution, called PowerPack, will be applicable to properties with 
solar panels. 
 
PowerPack is one of few solutions that are fully compliant with 
Switzerland's 'three phase' home and small business energy management 
requirements. It is the first to be applicable for the canton of Vaud's 
CHF100 million subsidy scheme for home and small business energy production 
and management. Leclanché has already received orders from customers within 
the subsidized scheme. 
 
*Anil Srivastava, Leclanché CEO, said: *"We are delighted to announce this 
partnership with Imeon Energy, a world-class leader in solar inverter 
technology, and to provide the first home and small business energy systems 
for self-reliance that are fully compliant with Swiss regulations. Consumers 
will benefit from a future-proofed, highly efficient energy management 
system. We are very pleased to have received our first orders and excited 
about rolling-out our solution across Switzerland." 
 
*Christophe Goasguen, CEO of Imeon Energy, said*: "We are very pleased that 
Leclanché selected us as a partner for its home battery solutions. The 
company has been a world-leading innovator in energy storage for many years 
and we look forward to a successful partnership together." 
 
PowerPack's unique three phase hybrid system increases generating 
efficiency by 30% and enables the provision of emergency power. The product 
includes remote monitoring and artificial intelligence that in the near 
future will enable the management of connected devices in the home or small 
business. The product is easy to install and use. Its national launch 
follows a trial in 10 pioneer houses in the canton of Jura. 
 
Customers are able to use Leclanché's online calculator to estimate the cost 
of installing the storage solution. 
 
Leclanché will shortly announce an agreement with an installation service 
provider for the package.
