Solving the problem of climate change and global warming is one of the most pressing tasks for humanity today. We need to shift from being dependent on fossil fuels to becoming a low-carbon society by utilizing renewable energy. PV power generation using solar energy is the leading type of renewable energy. However, in order for this green energy to come into common use, further technological innovation and cost reduction are necessary to overcome the current challenges related to cost and efficiency, such as increasing the efficiency of converting solar energy to electricity and overcoming the shortage of materials to produce related equipment. Based on our belief that we must employ technology to tackle environmental issues, we are striving to make the PV production equipment business the third pillar of our Group, following the semiconductor manufacturing equipment and FPD production equipment businesses.
