For solar power generation equipment, Toyohashi Supply Center's self-consumption is 102.6kW of solar panel output, 100kW of connection output, and an estimated annual power output of 110,000 kWh. The self-deposited portion for Sala Tower will have a panel capacity of 607.62kW, a grid-connected capacity of 400kW and an estimated annual power generation of 780,000 kWh. The solar panels are manufactured by Jinko Solar in China and the power conditioner (PCS) is manufactured by Huawei in China.
Self-consumption of solar energy will provide about 30% of the electricity used by Toyohashi Supply Center, and self-consumption will provide about 20% of the electricity used by Sala Tower. The shortfall will be provided by Sala Group's Sala e Energy power company (Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture). Sala Tower basically uses 100% renewable energy with CO2-free electricity. In the future, Toyohashi Supply Center will also be powered by 100% renewable energy.
