據國外媒體報道，夏普太陽能電池業務部主管Tetsuo Onishi今日在日本橫濱召開的一次會議上表示，公司計劃在2013年3月之前將太陽能電池的產能提高一倍多。

Onishi稱：“我們可能會根據市場增長的速度來提高我們的產能。” 夏普估計，全球太陽能電池市場將由2009財年的7.7千兆瓦增長到2010財年的16.9千兆瓦。

Onishi稱，截止今年3月份，夏普的太陽能電池產能為792兆瓦。

July 1 (Bloomberg) -- Sharp Corp. may more than double its production capacity of solar cells, by March 2013, Tetsuo Onishi, head of the company’s solar system unit, said at a conference in Yokohama, near Tokyo today.

“We’ll probably strengthen our capacity in line with the market growth,” Onishi said. Sharp estimates the global solar-cell market to expand to 16.9 gigawatts in fiscal 2012, from 7.7 gigawatts in 2009, he said.

The Osaka-based company’s production capacity of solar cells was 792 megawatts as of March this year, Onishi said.
