Trina Solar and its Japanese subsidiary Trina Solar Japan Energy commissioned a 2.34 MW (DC) agrisolar power plant in Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture on June 28, 2024, the company announced last week.
The project uses the company’s Vertex N bifacial solar panels, which are able to absorb sunlight from both sides.
“As a relatively large-scale solar sharing project in Japan, the solar power plant marks a new milestone for our company’s International Systems Business Unit (ISBU),” said the company when announcing the power plant’s commissioning.
With less and less land suitable for especially larger-scale solar power plant development in Japan remaining undeveloped, developers are increasingly looking at other options such as building portfolios of small, low-voltage power plants or developing agrisolar projects.
