Solar cell industry has expanded the market quickly. This solar cell industry is analyzed from the architecture as compared with semiconductor industry and LCD industry. The process days of the semiconductor is one to two months, it of the LCD is four - five days. In contrast, it of the solar cell is less than one day. Therefore, the turnkey equipment is sold. Thus, industrial structure completely differs, and the new concept of "single module industry" can be defined. When based on this concept, the strengthening direction of Japanese competitiveness in solar cell industry is integrality.
