Mibet has announced the completion of a 4 MW solar agrivoltaic project in Japan. Built on a 68,000-square-meter unused land in Fukushima Prefecture, the solar farm is the country's largest agrivoltaic project to date.
The solar panels were mounted using Mibet's agrivoltaic mounting system, which allows for a maximum tilt inclination of 30 degrees. Additionally, it can endure winds of 80 mps.
Below the panels, which are installed 2.5 m above the ground, seven varieties of grapes will be cultivated. The solar facility will produce around 3.7 million kWh of power annually.
