Abstract
Worldwide consciousness of the global environmental issues creates rapidly growing demands for solar photovoltaic systems. Sharp has increased the production capacity of solar cells and modules by about 90-fold in the last eight years. To date, the products are mainly bulk-type crystalline-Si solar cells, but to meet the rapid growth of the market it is essentially important to establish new technologies based on the concept of reduced use of material silicon.
