Kyocera completes restoration of 13.7 MW floating solar project in Chiba

Kyocera Corp has completed the restoration of the 13.7 MW floating solar plant named "Chiba Yamakura Water Mega Solar Power Plant" located in Chiba prefecture, Japan. 

The project underwent restoration after the damage incurred during the Boso Peninsula Typhoon in 2019. Initially, the PV solar farm entered operation in March 2018. The project now has 44,898 Kyocera solar modules that are enough to generate up to 16.17 million kWh of energy per year. 

TEPCO Energy, a unit of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc, will purchase the energy produced from the plant under a power purchase agreement (PPA). The project is operated by Kyocera TCL Solar LLC, a joint venture (JV) between Kyocera and Tokyo Century Corp.
