Mitsui, Toshiba to build Japan's largest PV plant

Mitsui and Toshiba are jteaming up to build Japan’s largest PV system.

 

With a capacity of 50MW, the plant will be considerably bigger than any other in Japan and cover 800,000m2 of Mitsui-owned land in the Aichi Prefecture.

At present, the majority of Japan's solar is accounted for by residential installations. However, since March’s Fukushima disaster the calls for investment in utility-scale solar have grown ever louder. And with Prime Minister Naoto Kan’s renewable energy bill likely to be passed into law in the coming weeks, the Mitsui-Toshiba system is sure to be the first of many MW-scale developments over the next year or so.
