With Sharp, going green is not just an empty claim. It has been at the forefront of developing solar technology long before global warming become a major issue for environmentalists. And though the Philippines might be a long way from fully adapting this kind of technology at present, it hasn’t stopped the company from exploring opportunities for solar power locally.
Sharp’s poly-crystalline silicon (PSC) solar panels are now in use at a Cepalco operated farm in Cagayan, the first solar farm in the country. The PSC panels and the newer thin-film panels are widely utilized in other parts of the world for navigational systems, satellites, skyscrapers, and other commercial applications. Photovoltaic technology will no doubt be even more popular as the company continues on its quest to make its solar panels more efficient and more accessible.
Closer to home, Sharp’s wide range of consumer products also do their share in conserving the environment. Technology in the home has truly gone a long way with Sharp. Appliances are incorporated with Plasmacluster Ion Technology that suppresses harmful airborne elements to promote a clean indoor environment. These are found in Sharp air purifiers, ion generators, air-conditioners and refrigerators.
And while Sharp’s new UV2A technology in its Quattron LCD TV also does its part in creating a more power efficient TV, the fact that it is the first in the industry to have the proprietary RGB+Y (red, green, blue + yellow) technology means it can easily handle advanced picture quality and maximum color precision that only Sharp can provide.
