-Sharp to Begin Mass Production of New Single Crystalline Solar Cells with
High Conversion EfficiencyENP NewswireApril 4, 2011 ENP Newswire - 04 April
2011 Release date- 31032011 - Sharp Corporation will begin mass production
of new single crystalline solar cells with high conversion efficiency on
March 31, 2011 at its solar cell plant in GREEN FRONT SAKAI, located in
Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The mass production will cover
processes from solar cells to solar modules. These new single crystalline
solar cells with high conversion efficiency use a Back Contact structure
(electrodes connected to the back). This eliminates the need for electrodes
on the front and increases the light-receiving area on the front surface of
the cells. In addition, a new alignment technology (Alignment Sheet system)
reduces the connection resistance between adjacent cells and contributes to
increased power output. Sharp began research into solar cells in 1959 and
launched mass production in 1963. By the end of 2010, Sharp had reached 4.3
GW (gigawatts) of cumulative solar cell production volume. Sharp will
continue to further develop clean energy based on technologies built up over
the past five decades. Overview of the Production of Single Crystalline
Silicon Solar Cells with High Conversion Efficiency Location: Solar cell
plant, GREEN FRONT SAKAI Annual Production Capacity: 200 MW (megawatts)
Investment Amount: Approximately 15 billion yen Contact: SHARP ELECTRONICS
