Photovolt Development Partners and the Kyoto-based PV manufacturer will work with engineering services provider Kyudenko, Orix and Mizuho Bank to build the plant on agricultural land on the island of Ukujima.
If constructed, it will be the largest PV project in Japan. It will also be the world’s biggest solar plant built on farmland, Kyocera said in an emailed statement.
The group will start construction in fiscal 2016.
