Sharp is going over the next two fiscal years to increase production. solar. for the mass market by half. According to the plans of the head of the branch Tetsuo Onishi, production capacity will be doubled by March 2013. ' Now the market of photovoltaic solutions is actively growing and we intend to strengthen its position here ' - he says. It is estimated Sharp, in 2012 the total capacity of all solar panels manufactured in the world will reach 16.9 GW vs. 7.7 GW in 2009. In the current fiscal year, Sharp plans to produce solar panels with total capacity of 792 megawatts.
Recently, the company reported the development of solar cell, which has the highest conversion efficiency of solar energy into electricity. The company announced the creation of a prototype battery that runs without the use of hubs, but the efficiency of which is 35.8%. Unlike most existing silicon cells today, new uses for electricity generation several fotopogloschayuschih layers connected together. The substrate is made of the battery connections on the basis of indium and gallium. On the properties represented by the battery is quite similar to those used in the aerospace industry, but unlike the latter it is much cheaper and more focused on mass market.
The company said they are developing similar solar panels on the basis of fotopogloschayuschih layers 2000. Over 10 years of research and development company was able to significantly improve the design, as well as a panel of three independent layers. ' In the new batteries to increase the efficiency of triple junction solar cells, it was important to improve the crystalline properties of each layer, and this could only be achieved by aligning the atomic lattice of the material in the upper, middle and lower layers ' - the company said.
