Japan's Largest PV Power Plant Goes Online With System Technology From SMA
Niestetal/Tokyo, Nov. 5, 2013 - An inaugural ceremony was held yesterday in
the southern Japanese city of Kagoshima to celebrate the opening of the
country's largest PV power plant. Run by the Kagoshima Mega Solar Power
Corporation, the new 70 megawatt plant relies on 140 Sunny Central 500CP-JP
central inverters and 1,260 Sunny String-Monitors from SMA to ensure high
yields and optimal monitoring performance.
'The fact that SMA system technology is being used for Japan's largest PV
power plant underscores our excellent position in this key market. Thanks
to our local sales and service structures as well as system solutions
specifically tailored to local requirements, we are ideally positioned to
take advantage of the tremendous growth expected in this future market. In
fact, by the end of the year Japan is expected to surpass Germany as the
world's strongest photovoltaic market in terms of sales,' explains SMA
Chief Executive Officer Pierre-Pascal Urbon.
At the beginning of last year SMA had already established a local sales and
service company in Tokyo. A few months later another milestone was reached
when the Japan Electrical Safety&Environment Technology Laboratories
(JET) certified Sunny Boy inverters for PV rooftop systems and approved
them for sale in the Japanese market. Additionally, just a couple of weeks
ago SMA became the first non-Japanese manufacturer to receive JET
certification for a three-phase device, the Sunny Tripower 10000TLEE-JP.
Although JET certification is not required for central inverters in
industrial solar projects, SMA has nonetheless subjected the Sunny Central
CP-JP inverters to the same series of tests used in JET certification for
PV rooftop systems. The inverters can be easily set up for outdoor use and
are capable of withstanding the adverse weather conditions that prevail in
southern Japan such as salty air and typhoons.
