Shell Solar Solar energy is abundant, local and emission-free. Until recently Shell Solar has been involved in the production of silicon solar modules, the most widely applied technology, but has decided to move straight into next generation thin-film technologies. Shell Solar believes that the next generation technology will be able to reach cost competitiveness with retail energy on a faster timescale than silicon, as a result of a continued production process and the raw material used. Therefore the silicon activities have been divested to focus mainly on the further development of this next generation technology. Shell also remains committed to the operational excellence of the rural business, while reviewing its strategic options to further expand the business. Shell will continue to provide solar energy to the developing world. Back to Sponsors
