Sharp to produce solar products in US

Sharp Electronics Corporation has announced that it will construct a manufacturing facility for solar products in the US.

Construction will begin in spring of 2003 at the Sharp Manufacturing Company of America manufacturing plant in Memphis, Tenn.

The facility will be responsible for the production of a range of solar products for on-grid and off-grid US markets.

“Solar is at the core of Sharp’s next generation businesses and technologies,” said Shinatro Hashimoto, general manager of Sharp’s Solar Systems Group. “Sharp established a division to market solar products in the US in May 2002 and will manufacture here because we believe the US is ready to accept solar as an increasingly mainstream energy alternative,” he said.
