The company will provide nearly 135,000 modules for the plant, located in Hokkaido.

Yonden Engineering will be the design and construction contractor for the power plant that will span across a 625,192m² site.

Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2012 and the plant is expected to commence operations in March 2014 to generate the power equivalent required in 9,600 households every year.

Additionally, the plant is projected to off-set about 11,000t of CO2 a year.

Japan had recently introduced a new feed-in tariff (FIT) in July 2012, laying the foundation for several large-scale solar power plant projects across the country.
