JinkoSolar has supplied 5MW of solar modules to DMM, a Japanese digital content distributor and solar installation company, for a ground mounted solar PV project in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The project has been connected to the grid and is operating.
The project is located approximately 100m from the coastline in Meiwa, Mie Prefecture. Given its location along the coast in central Japan, solar modules used in the project had to be resistant to salt and mist. JinkoSolar’s solar modules were chosen to be installed because they are salt and mist resistant and can run without interference over a long period of time. The project is expected to generate approximately 5.55 million kWh of electricity annually for 2,500 local households.
“We are excited to be working with DMM to promote the local renewable energy market in Japan,” commented Mr. Xiande Li, Chairman of JinkoSolar. “Located along the coast of Mie Prefecture in central Japan, the project required high quality modules that were salt and mist resistance. By selecting JinkoSolar as the module supplier for this project, DMM is demonstrating its confidence in the quality and performance of our modules under harsh environmental conditions.”
Mr. Zhao Guo Sun, Manager of DMM’s Energy Division, said that both DMM and Jinko have a common goal of creating greener environment with renewable energy, “we are looking forward to cooperating on other projects in the future,” concluded Mr. Zhao.
