Summary: Seoul=뉴스와이어 LG Electronics LG announced today the launch of a new busi ness initiative with the unveiling of a solar cell production line in Gumi about 200 kilometers southeast of Seoul The production line will enable LG to manufacture approximately half a million solar modules a year with a total capacity of 120 megawatts MW the equivalent en ergy needs of 40 000 homes annually The line which will produce silicon wafer based crystalline solar cells will begin production next month A second line will follow in 2011 increasing total output to 240MW on LG s invest ment of USD 220 billion LG intention is to become a global player in the world s solar industry through a combination of our mass production expertise and strict quality control system said Kwan shik Cho vice

around USD 11 billion and the percentage of crystal line solar cells is expected to make up 80 percent of the market in 2010 Crystalline solar cells are comprised of silicon wafers while competing thin film solar cells use thin layers of materi als containing electrodes In July 2009 LG announced that the company had achieved the world s most energy efficient 11 1 percent in large area 1 1 x 1 3 meter thin film solar cells LG is at the top of the industry in terms of large area solar cell efficiency We are commenc ing production of crystalline solar cells and will continue to focus on both types of solar cells going forward said Cho About LG Electronics Inc LG Electronics Inc KSE 066570 KS is a global leader and technology innovator in consumer electronics mobile communications and home
