Kyocera TCL Solar Begins Construction on 13.7MW Floating Solar Power Plant
In a joint venture, Kyocera Corporation and Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation has announced that Kyocera TCL Solar LLC has started construction of 13.7 MW floating solar power plant on the Yamakura Dam reservoir, managed by the Public Enterprises Agency of Chiba Prefecture in Japan for industrial water services.
Scheduled for launch in FY2018, the plant will be comprised of approximately 51,000 Kyocera modules installed over a fresh water surface area of 180,000m2.
The project was initiated in October 2014, when the Public Enterprises Agency of Chiba Prefecture publicly sought companies to construct and operate a floating solar power plant to help reduce environmental impact.
