Mitsubishi solar PV system at Japanese water treatment facility

07 September 2010

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has completed the installation of a 191 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system at Nabeya-ueno Waterworks in Nagoya, Japan.

Electricity generated by a total of 1008 solar PV modules installed over a surface area of 1430 m2 will partially cover the air conditioning and lighting requirements at Nabeya-ueno Waterworks. The system is expected to generate approximately 192 MWh of electricity annually.

The 191 kW solar PV system will contain a 146 kW sub-system composed of 768 solar PV modules installed on the lid of the filtration system, as well as a 45 kW system made up of 240 solar PV modules installed on the building roof.

The solar PV system will be equipped with five 3-phase solar PV inverters in total: two 50 kW, one 40 kW and two 30 kW inverters, all manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric.
