Solar Frontier K.K. is a Tokyo-based subsidiary that develops large-scale solar energy technology, leveraging CIS thin-film cells to provide economical and ecologically oriented power. It builds on Showa Shell Sekiyu's century-spanning energy experience and a CIS research program dating to 1993, with commercial CIS production established in the late 2000s and a 900 MW factory planned for Miyazaki. Its customers are international buyers seeking affordable, reliable solar capacity for utility-scale projects, and the company has pursued expansion in Japan to increase capacity while also introducing a residential offering. Based in Daiba, Tokyo, Solar Frontier operates with a relatively small-to-mid-sized workforce. A notable non-financial development in 2016 was the expansion of Miyazaki operations and the launch of SmaCIS [i], a residential solar system, reflecting broader product ambitions.
