The photovoltaic power system is indispensable as a next-generation energy source, as it is free from resource limitations and places less of a burden on the environment. Sharp, with more than 40 years of history and achievements in this field, has ranked No. 1 in solar cell production volume for seven straight years*1. Sharp believes that Sharp itself should set an example by creating energy with a photovoltaic power system. For this reason, a photovoltaic system, which can generate 5,210 kW of electricity—enough to power approximately 1,300 homes*2— was installed at the Kameyama Plant.
