New Lighting Systems Combine Solar Cells and LEDs
Sharp Corporation announces the introduction into the Japanese market of two new solar cell products - an Illuminating Solar Panel integrating long-life, energy-efficient, high-intensity LEDs (light emitting diodes) with thin-film, ''see-through'' solar cells into a single solar module, and a new Solar Street Light that combines solar cells with high-intensity LED lights, and eliminates the need for underground or overhead wiring work.
