You might be surprised to know that SANYO is the power behind some of the world's most indispensable products. If you've ever used a cellular phone, notebook computer or personal organizer, chances are good that it was powered by a SANYO rechargeable battery. Perhaps not so surprising, when you consider that SANYO has been involved in rechargeable and renewable energy research since early in its over 50-year history.

Today, we're looking to a higher power for inspiration - the sun. SANYO solar cells have harnessed the energy of the sun to power homes and to irrigate African deserts by desalinating seawater. In 1990, a plane powered by SANYO solar cells actually broke a world record, becoming the first solar powered plane to fly across America.

Now we've taken the next step forward. The Solar Ark is a magnificent technological achievement - the world's largest solar-power generating structure. Opened in Gifu, Japan on April 2002, this stunning architectural edifice combines the efficiency of a massive photovoltaic power generation system with a state-of-the-art science centre. Already, tens of thousands of visitors have flocked to the Solar Ark to see and learn about the energy source of the future. This kind of forward thinking helps guide every product SANYO makes. We're working towards a brighter future for all of us, with 'technology you can trust'.
