Under the contract, Toshiba’s systems will be installed in the Hachinohe solar power station, which is scheduled to come on line in 2011.
Once completed, the project will have a power generating capacity of approximately 1.5MW.
The Hachinohe solar power station is expected to generate approximately 1.6 million kWh of electricity per year, and is the first industrial-use solar PV power plant operated by Tohoku Electric.
The plant will be equipped with multi-crystal PV modules from Kyocera Corporation, thin-film PV modules (250kW) from Kaneka and CIS (copper indium diselenide, CuInSe2) thin-film solar cell modules (250kW) from Solar Frontier KK.
