| Announcement on the construction of the second CIS photovoltaic module factory |
| 15/08/2007 |
|
Showa Shell Solar K.K., a 100% subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K., has decided to construct the second CIS photovoltaic module factory.
The CIS photovoltaic module (our product name "SOLACIS") is a thin-film module that does not use silicon, which is under the pressure of shortage. Another characteristic is that it is manufactured from cell to module at one factory.
Showa Shell Solar K.K. has started commercial production after test production at its first Miyazaki Plant (construction completed in October 2006). This time, Showa Shell Solar K.K. has decided to construct the second factory with production capacity of 60 mega watts (mw).
The second factory will be the world's largest CIS photovoltaic module factory. Products manufactured at this factory are planned to be sold mainly in domestic market, through Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K.'s agent network. |
