Abstract
Mass production technologies of a-Si single junction module with stable 8% in 1998 and a-Si/poly-Si hybrid module with 10% efficiency in 2000 were developed in Shiga factory of Kaneka Corporation. Kaneka instituted Kaneka solartech corporation (KST) as a subsidiary company of 100% shareholder and invested a-Si 20 MW production plant in Toyooka city in 1999. KST has started the manufacturing a-Si PV modules in October 1999 and those of hybrid type PV modules in April 2001.
