Under these conditions, the sunlight conversion efficiencyConversion efficiency of solar cells improved and a shift toward lower cell and module prices progressed. Japan rose to the top of the world in terms of the volumes of solar cells produced and introduced at theå end of the 1990s. Japan went on to lead the world in terms of the cumulative volume of solar power generation introduced in 1997.
