Kyocera will provide solar energy to Japan’s farmers

Project will cost Kyocera US$89 million.

Japan-based electronics manufacturer Kyocera Corporation said it will supply, engineer, construct, and maintain some 30 megawatts of solar power generating systems to farms across Japan. Kyocera will provide around 124,000 solar modules to the project to be split between 80 locations.

The project will be implemented by the National Federation of Agriculture Cooperative Associations or Zen-Noh and the Mitsubishi Corporation. There are 1.5 million farmers in Japan.

The goal of the project is to reinvigorate the agriculture sector and local farming towns and to further spread renewable energy use. Zen-Noh and Mitsubishi are planning to build one of Japan’s largest solar power projects by installing solar power systems with a capacity of 200 MW on farmers’ and Zen-Noh facilities.

Mitsubishi and Kyocera have jointly established the JAMC Solar Energy Company to operate the project and will sell the power generated from the installations to regional utility power companies under Japan’s feed-in tariff program.
