Wants to meet growing demand


Sanyo plans
to build a new solar cell plant in Japan, as it aims to double its production of the technology to meet growing demand for clean energy.

The outfit hopes that he demand for clean green energy will buck the recession. The plant, will be built in Osaka prefecture in western Japan, is scheduled to start operations by the end of 2010, so with luck the recession will have passed anyway.

the facility will produce solar cells with a higher power generation capacity than those made at another Sanyo plant in central Japan. It is the second investment in solar cell production that Sanyo has made. It has previously announced plans to jointly build a factory for another type of solar cell with Nippon Oil which will flog cheaper products to developing countries such as China.
