1,500-volt solar inverters for Japan

摘要

Renewable energy is reshaping the energy landscape in Japan. At the time of a shrinking feed-in-tariff, Japanese energy companies are focused on improving their technology to enable more cost-effective solar energy. Following the partnership commenced last year to bring the latest 1,500-volt solar inverter technology to the Japanese solar market, GE has installed the first unit of two in Looop Co. Ltd.'s solar power plant, located in Ibaragi prefecture. The successful commercial operation of the unit marks the entry of 1,500-volt solar technology in Japan's solar market.
