Located in the city of Sano, Tochigi prefecture, the project is expected to produce 49,000 MWh of clean energy during its first full year of operation. This is the equivalent of powering more than 11,000 households, avoiding the emission of almost 24,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. The electricity generated by the solar plant will be sold through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The complex civil construction of Sonnedix Sano was successfully performed by Juwi Shizen Energy and the plant is powered by 280Wp Kyocera modules and 1MW SMA inverters. Juwi Shizen Energy Operations will perform the operations and maintenance services in the solar plant.
