Hamada (Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture) used reusable solar panels for a demonstration experiment on solar energy sharing (agricultural solar power plant) "Safa Link -Farm Kakegawa-" provided by Nitto Kogyo working in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Announced on June 22.

"Safa Link -Farm Kakegawa-" rented ruined farmland and installed solar power generation equipment. The solar panel capacity is 64 kW, the grid capacity is 49.5 kW and the environmental value is obtained using the digital grid electricity trading platform. In addition, we will carry out agricultural land reclamation and plant about 100 olive seedlings that Kakegawa City is promoting in production area planning.
Hamada collects used solar panels generated by powering back to a project or disaster, tests the appearance and performance of each panel, and then delivers them to the domestic market. and abroad in the form of reusable panels. This time, Nitto Kogyo and Suntelephone, responsible for procurement and construction, evaluated Hamada's performance benchmark testing process and used reusable boards.
One of the reasons why reusable panels are not used in Japan is that they are often sold without proper performance testing, making it difficult for companies to accept them. Hamada sets shipping standards and only supplies reusable panels that meet those standards.
Regarding olive farming, Chiba Eco Energy (Chiba City), an energy-related venture company originating from Chiba University, has developed a land reclamation plan to restore damaged farmland. clearing, assisting in the development of olive planting and farming plans. on the design of the hypothetical power generation facility and assistance in obtaining permits and licenses.
