Mitsubishi said in a statement, in March 2012 before the production capacity of solar cells from 220 megawatts to 600 megawatts at present to upgrade. To achieve this objective, in February this year, Mitsubishi built in northern Japan, an area of 24,000 square meters of new plant is expected to fall this year, will be able to put into service. Mitsubishi said the plant will greatly improve the production of solar cells should be able to Mitsubishi in March 2011, the current production of 220 MW to 270 MW upgrade. The 50-megawatt increase the amount of 10000 in Japan long enough for home use. VGP-BPS9 VGP-BPS9/B VGP-BPS9/S

 

March 1, manager of the Mitsubishi solar energy department Nagasawa in Tokyo at a fair product, said: “Our product range is now 24 hours a day at full capacity, this momentum will continue. Of course, we would policy also grants the government to pay attention to. “But to expand the new facility will bring many benefits, Nagasawa not been disclosed.

 

A study shows that by 2013 global revenues of solar cells from 2009 to $ 20 billion to 900 billion U.S. dollars. Mitsubishi also showed that the annual financial estimates, the global photovoltaic market from March 2009 to March 2010 have been considerably strengthened to reach 8000 MW to 5500 MW. According to Mitsubishi has announced a new goal, they hope to occupy the market share of 7.5%. VGP-BPS9A VGP-BPS9A/B VGP-BPS13/S

 

In addition, Mitsubishi is also the largest solar thin film battery components manufacturer First Solar Inc. and Sharp Corporation for their cooperation.

 

Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association of Japan announced last month that, subject to market demand and government support policies for renewable energy development, sales of solar cells from Japan in 2009 has improved. Last year, sales increased 21% to reach 1387 MW, double domestic sales reached 484 MW. We learn that the Japanese government decided to invest 4 billion yen to encourage more families to use solar panels. The Japanese government has said it wants to increase the sources of solar and other renewable energy at home and industrial use of the area ratio of hope in the next decade will increase the ratio of 20 times.
