New solar power projects in Japan and Denmark A 4.2 MW solar power plant is to be built in Kyoto following an agreement between Kyocera Group, which will supply the solar PV modules, design and construct the park, and SB Energy, which will operate the plant. The plant, which will be the largest in the prefecture, will consist of around 17,000 Kyocera modules in two facilities. The systems are to use Kyocera’s anti-dust modules which have a structure aimed at preventing dust and water from collecting on the surface by allowing rain water to wash off build-up via drainage channels along the frame of the module. Construction on the park is scheduled to begin this summer. Meanwhile, in the Danish city of Virum, north of Copenhagen, a 600 kW PV rooftop system (pictured) has been built on two roofs of an office complex. The system comprises 2,800 solar modules and is Denmark’s largest rooftop PV system according to Canadian Solar which supplied the modules. The German company SRU Solar AG constructed the system which was connected to the Danish national grid in January. Denmark.tif The rooftop PV system in Virum, Denmark Photo: Canadian Solar
