Sharp Corporation held a groundbreaking ceremony for
its next multi-application manufacturing plant in Sakai City, Osaka
Prefecture, Japan that it calls a "Manufacturing Complex for the 21st
Century." Sharp is maintaining its vertically integrated business model
that will see both thin-film solar panels and Gen 10 LCD panels
(2,850mm x 3,050mm) manufactured at a massive new (1.27 million m2) site that will house a complex of plants and support buildings at a cost of ¥380 billion.
The solar cell plant is set to start production by March 2010. Annual production is expected to be 1,000MW (one million kW) a year for thin-film solar cells, Sharp announced.
