Japan's Showa Shell Sekiyu is planning to build a 100 billion yen (US$948 million) solar panel plant, one of the largest in the world.
He said the new plant would have an annual capacity of 1,000 megawatts, equivalent to that of a regular-sized nuclear power reactor, and outdistancing Sharp's domestic plant which has an estimated 710 megawatts a year.
