Hanwha Q Cells provided 33,544 PV modules for the project, an Orix spokesperson tells Recharge.
The plant — on the bottom of the Satsuma peninsula in Makurazaki, Kagoshima prefecture, on the island of Kyushu — is reportedly the first in the country to be built on the site of a former airport.
The Makurazaki Airport closed at the end of fiscal 2012, Orix said in an online statement.
