The Japanese firm, part of Royal Dutch Shell group, will spend 15 billion yen (128 million dollars) to build the factory to make thin-film based "CIS solar batteries," the company said.

The factory, which will start operation in 2009, will have an annual production capability of about 60 megawatts, Showa Shell said.
