Kyocera Group has entered the solar power generation business. The company announced that it plans to purchase surplus photovoltaic power from owners of Japanese rooftop photovoltaic systems and sell it to various companies through power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Kyocera Group has been selling renewable energy to Japanese companies since October 1. The company announced that it will purchase surplus photovoltaic power from residential, industrial and commercial rooftop photovoltaic systems and floating solar arrays, and intends to resell it to small and medium-sized enterprises and large apartment buildings across Japan. The company also stated that its goal is to provide solutions to companies that want to install rooftop photovoltaic systems but face challenges of upfront costs and technical complexity. In addition to continuing to produce solar components at its factory in Shiga Prefecture, the Japanese manufacturer is also actively engaged in the sale of photovoltaic systems.

[SMM PV News] At an altitude of 4,700 meters! The largest PV project in the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet has been completed.
Recently, the 850 MW Phase I of the Luobusha PV project in Qusum County, Tibet, constructed by PowerChina, successfully passed completion acceptance, providing important support for easing regional power supply-demand tensions and strengthening the plateau energy supply barrier. The Luobusha PV project in Qusum County, Tibet, covers an area of approximately 4,289.59 mu, with a total installed capacity of 850 MW. It is the first batch of key commercial PV projects at the Yazhong Clean Energy Base in Tibet and the largest PV clean power generation project in the middle and lower reaches of the Yajiang River. The project is developed in four phases, with Phase I at 200 MW and an average elevation of 4,700 meters. Chengdu Engineering Corporation under PowerChina undertook the construction of the 220 kV booster station, 50 MW PV area, 20.74 km transmission line, and expansion of the opposite-side substation; Sinohydro Bureau 9 undertook the construction of the 150 MW PV field area, installing a total of 348,000 PV modules, along with 64 box-type transformers and 704 inverters.
