Kyocera TCL Solar installed 108,504 solar modules on 1.2km² of land, which was originally designated for a golf course and other purposes. The land was subsequently abandoned.

The modules will have the capacity to generate an estimated 36,080MWh a year, which will be enough to power nearly 12,000 typical households in the region.

Electricity generated at the plant will be sold to Chugoku Electric Power.

“The modules will have the capacity to generate an estimated 36,080MWh a year.”

Due to the coastal climate of the Japan Sea, Tottori Prefecture receives short hours of sunlight during the winter months and is not always considered as a suitable area for the construction of a solar power plant.
