SunPower is supplying its high efficiency solar panels for the Sonnedix 46.6-megawatt (MW) Tono project in Iwate prefecture, Japan. Construction on the site is currently underway, with commercial operation expected in early 2020.
The Tono project was developed, and will be asset-managed and operated by Sonnedix Japan on behalf of Sonnedix Power Holdings Limited. The project, which NEC Networks and System Integration Corporation is contracted to construct, will use a fixed-tilt ground mount system and feature SunPower® E-Series 435-watt solar panels that offer efficiencies in excess of 20 percent.
When complete, the Tono project is expected to generate over 53,000 megawatt hours of clean energy annually, equivalent to the amount of electricity consumed by approximately 17,650 households.
