Lixil Corporation, a Japanese building materials supplier, is planning to construct a 6.35MW PV facility in the city of Sukagawa, in the prefecture of Fukushima, Japan.
The Cypriot Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, Neoclis Sylikiotis, has announced the results of its call for tender for 50MW of PV capacity in Cyprus launched on 30 January 2013.
PV project developers, Euro Solar Power Private Limited and Aatash Power Pvt. Ltd., selected Renewable Energy Corporation’s (REC) ‘Peak Energy’ modules for separate projects totalling 10MW.
PV inverter specialist, Power-One reported fourth quarter revenue of US$192 million, within revised guidance but sales declined 32% in Europe, forcing the company to adjust production to demand with the planned loss of 300 jobs.
Solar module sales at Kyocera are expected to increase significantly in the first quarter of 2013, boosted by a rush to install systems before expected feed-in tariff reductions are introduced at the beginning of April.
US energy provider SolarCity has installed PV systems with a total capacity of 2.3MW at all 19 district schools and a district support centre which make up the Murrieta Valley Unified School District in California.
