thin-film silicon photovoltaic module / standard

After 30 years of research and invention, Sharp has finally perfected the art of the silicon thin films. It was in 2005 when Sharp developed a line of fully-tested and market-ready thin film and from then on, Sharp made it its duty to make thin film solar the technology of choice for multi-megawatt-scale power production. 2008 is when Sharp started to build the world's most advanced thin film manufacturing complex and this one of a kind film is capable of one gigawatt of thin film production per year. One of the best things about Sharp's thin films is its reliability. Since Sharp has access to many raw materials, this made the films highly robust, dependable and have longer service life.
