The project, which took place in Kumamoto on the Japanese island of Kyushu, entailed a total of four weeks of construction, and the installation of 4,088 solar modules.
The photovoltaic installation was developed and constructed jointly by the juwi group and Shizen Energy Inc., and has a total capacity of about 1 MW.
Per year, the rooftop system produces approximately one million kilowatt hours of clean electricity.
Amiram Roth-Deblon, juwi Regional Director Asia Pacific and Representative Director of juwi Shizen Energy, considers rooftop photovoltaic systems as an essential part of the energy revolution in Japan.
“The potential in Japan is huge. There are millions of roofs that could be used for solar energy. This would contribute considerably to covering the energy demand of the Japanese people and industry,” he said.
The joint company is headquartered in Tokyo.
“In the years to come we would like to use our know-how to support the land of the rising sun with its transition towards a safe, clean and sustainable energy production,” said Roth-Deblon.
