Today, GEs Power Conversion business has been chosen by Pacifico Energy to provide its Brillance solar skid solutions for its mega-solar project in Furukawa. By partnering with some of the countrys largest projects, GE is at the forefront of helping Japan realize its solar energy production targets. GEs involvement in the 56.9-megawatt direct current (DC) Furukawa mega-solar project, closely following the recently awarded Hosoe solar project, demonstrates GEs commitment to continue to grow the sector.
GE Power Conversions Brilliance Solar Inverters meet the customers requirements both for reliability and cost competitiveness. Along with the inverters, GE is also supplying transformers, Ring Main Units and Recombiners, all of which are to be preassembled onto skids for ease of transportation and flawless installation at the site. GE will also provide a Long Term Services Agreement for a minimum of 20 years to proactively manage the maintenance and service of the GE equipment to support availability of the inverter systems throughout the lifetime of the project. These attributes are vital to the overall economics of the Furukawa solar project given decreasing local feed-in-tariffs (FIT).
"GE is committed to the Japanese solar industry. The Furukawa project together with the Hosoe solar project demonstrates how we are able to continually build our relationship and bring value to Japanese customers. We are proud that GEs advanced solar technology is at the heart of Japans most emblematic solar projects," said John Chatwin, Power & Industry Segment Leader, GE Power Conversion.
