KYOCERA and SOFTBANK to build 4.2MW solar project in Japan

By Greentech Lead Team: The Kyocera Group and SB Energy,
a SoftBank Group subsidiary in charge of renewable energy business, will build
and operate a 4.2 MW solar power plant at Kyoto City in Japan.

Kyocera Group companies will provide solar module supply,
system design and material procurement, and the construction of the mega-solar
project for the new plant.

SB Energy will operate the large-scale solar power plant,
and aims to have the system operating in time for the start of the new feed-in
tariff (FIT) which will go into place on July 1, 2012.

Kyocera will supply 17,000 Kyocera
anti-dust modules equaling 4.2MW of solar power for the two facilities (2.1MW
each) in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City. This will generate roughly 4.2GWh of
electricity annually, which is enough to supply power for approximately 1,000
households.

Kyocera’s anti-dust modules have a structure that
prevents dust and water from collecting on the surface, by allowing rain water
to wash off build-up via drainage channels along the frame of the module. This
helps prevent the adverse effect of dust build-up on the module’s glass surface
which decreases the power output.

Kyocera Solar recently joined local energy leaders as a Technology Sponsor of the San Diego Gas &
Electric Energy Innovation Center.
