Planned for launch in FY2018 (fiscal 12 months ending March 31, 2018), the plant is made up of about 51, 000 Kyocera modules put in over a brand new liquid area of 180, 000m2. The project will generate around 16, 170 megawatt hours (MWh) annually — adequate electrical energy to run about 4, 970 typical households*2 — while offsetting about 8, 170 tons*3 of CO2 emissions yearly. That is equal to 19, 000 drums of oil consumed*4.

The project had been started in October 2014, as soon as the Public Enterprises Agency of Chiba Prefecture publicly desired businesses to create and run a drifting solar power plant in reducing ecological effect.

	Drifting solar energy jobs produced by Kyocera TCL Solar in Japan

Because of the decline in tracts of land appropriate utility-scale solar energy flowers in Japan as a result of the rapid utilization of solar powered energy, Kyocera TCL Solar was developing drifting solar energy plants since 2014, which utilize Japan’s numerous liquid surfaces of reservoirs for farming and flood-control reasons. The business began operation of in June. With Kyocera Correspondence Systems Co., Ltd. in charge of construction and Kyocera Solar Corporation task O&M (operation and upkeep) among these jobs, the Kyocera Group is cultivating technology and expertise to create, function and keep maintaining floating solar power flowers.
