Italy's National Electricity Cooperation With Sharp Build Solar Power Station

Italy's national electricity company (ENEL) recently on the construction of solar power plant cooperation with the Japanese Sharp reached intention. Accordingly, in 2011 before the end of Sharp Corporation in cooperation with ENEL of Italy construction of the solar power station, power generation capacity is expected to reach about 160 MW, thus becoming the world's single largest solar power station construction projects.

Solar power stations on the main carriers and specific matters such as investment, will be agreed upon in the future. It is said that after the completion of the project, to meet the more than 80,000 residents in family consumption.

The two sides also thin film solar cells of all future production of solar cells and the factory building was discussed.

Films solar of the characteristics of solar cells is more than ever the solar cells can significantly reduce production costs. Sharp plans in the future will be a period film solar cell type in the world's annual production capacity from the current 15 megawatts to 6,000 megawatts.
