Kyocera Corporation and Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation announced today that Kyocera TCL Solar LLC will develop and operate a 13.4MW floating solar power plant on the Yamakura Dam reservoir. The plant will become the largest floating solar installation in the world. 

Kyocera TCL Solar was selected to undertake this project in part due to its experience and expertise in developing utility-scale solar power plants in Japan. The company aims to begin operations in March 2016 after negotiating with related parties including Tokyo Electric Power Company.

"When we first started R&D for solar energy in the mid 1970's, the technology was only viable for small applications such as street lamps, traffic signs and telecommunication stations in mountainous areas," stated Nobuo Kitamura, senior executive officer and general manager of the Corporate Solar Energy Group at Kyocera. "Since then, we have been working to make solar energy use more ubiquitous in society, and have expanded our business to residential, commercial and utility-scale solar applications. We are excited to work with our partners on this project, taking another step forward by utilizing untapped bodies of water as solar power generation sites."

The project will be comprised of approximately 50,000 Kyocera modules installed over a water surface area of 180,000m2. The plant will generate an estimated 15,635MWh per year — enough electricity to power approximately 4,700 typical households — while offsetting about 7,800 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Under the plan, Kyocera TCL Solar will build and operate the installation, and Century Tokyo Leasing will provide project financing. The Kyocera Group will be responsible for the supply of solar modules and related equipment in addition to construction, operation and maintenance. The modules will be installed on floating platforms manufactured by Ciel et Terre.
