    Sharp close their Wrexham PV factory

    bbc Sorry to see the jobs go, but frankly the panels were never really up to scratch. It does make me wonder a bit what it is about the UK that means that we seem to be incapable of producing consistently high quality solar PV panels at a significant volume. Sharp should really have been...
