Starting in 2009, the facility will produce thin-film solar cells, which use less silicon than conventional cells.
The factory will be the world's largest solar cell plant, with an annual production capacity of 1,000mw.
Sharp is the global leader in solar cell production.
The company has an annual output capacity of 710mw.
The plant will be built adjacent to the firm's LCD panel factory which is under construction.
Looks as if Sharp will continue to be the solar cell global leader for some time, no?
