At the Kameyama Plant, in addition to the already existing 60 kW photovoltaic power system, Sharp added a 5,150 kW photovoltaic power system covering a total area of about 47,000 square meters (equal to three baseball stadiums). This system was installed on the LCD manufacturing plant, the distribution center, and the roof/walls of Plant No. 2. It can generate a total of 5,210 kW of electricity, enough to power approximately 1,300 homes^*3. As a result, use of this system will reduce the amount of CO2 emissions by 3,400 tons per year (compared to using a thermal power generating system). That is equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by forests covering about 960 hectares, an area approximately 30 times the size of Kameyama Plant grounds.

Sharp keeps experimenting with the construction of larger and more efficient power systems. And Sharp will continue to contribute to the expansion and popularization of the photovoltaic power system, the demand for which is expected to grow on a global scale.
