All
panels listed above use a textured cell surface to reduce reflection
of sunlight, and BSF (Black Surface Field) structure to improve
conversion efficiency. An anti-relective coating provides a uniform
blue color and increases the absorption of light in all weather
conditions.

Sharp
Cumulative Production Reaches 2 GW
Sharp
Corp. recently announced that its worldwide cumulative solar
cell production volume has reached 2 GW (2,000 MW). The
company has been involved with solar power for nearly 50
years. They began research into solar cells in 1959 and
started mass production in 1963.
Sharp
Solar initiated mass production of residential solar power
generation systems in 1994, marking the start of full scale
sales for household use. In 2005, Sharp began mass production
of tandem thin-film solar cells. This was followed by the
manufacture of silicon for solar cells in 2007. In February,
the company announced a collaboration with a production
equipment company to develop equipment for manufacturing
thin-film solar cells.

 Plug
and Play Installation
Most Sharp solar
panels utilize "all-weather" Multi-Contact (MC) Connector
and cables to simplify installation wiring. MC cables are UL recognized
and are the industry standard for PV module installation. Our studies
show that MC connectors provide a 25% to 30% savings in hardware
and direct labor costs as compared to wiring the PV array using
traditional practices. MC cables eliminate the need for conduit
and junction boxes and provide a true "plug and play" module interconnection.
