TOKYO — Sekisui Chemical, a Japanese plastics maker, will begin mass production of perovskite solar cells — cutting-edge technology with durable, lightweight and flexible cells — in an effort to catch up with Chinese competitors, Nikkei has learned.
The Japanese manufacturer will invest more than 10 billion yen ($68 million) to build a new manufacturing facility with an annual production volume of several hundred thousand square meters by 2030 — sufficient to power approximately 4,000 households.
