Sharp solar panels to be used in two Japanese mega plants

Filed under:

Sharp has certainly been an integral part of these solar installations before, but the latest endeavor by the city of Sakai and the Kansai Electric capability Company isn’t anything to sneeze at. The initiative will see a pair of “mega solar plants” constructed, one of which will crank out around 10,000 kW while the other outputs 18,000 kW. Once the plants go online in 2011, expectations are that

CO2 emissions will decrease on the order of 10,000 tons per year. Of course, a staggering ¥5.0 billion ($46.5 million) will be coughed up in order to produce it happen, but you can bet Mother Earth will certainly see it as money well spent.
