The plant in Ohira, Miyagi prefecture, features the Tokyo-based manufacturer’s most advanced production technology.
The company claims it can produce its CIS (copper, indium, selenium) panels at the Tohoku plant in just a third of the time it takes to make modules at its flagship 900MW factory in Kunitomi, in southern Japan’s Miyazaki prefecture.
It can also crank out panels at the new facility at roughly two-thirds the cost, in terms of investment and manpower, as at its other factories.
