The plans come despite the company’s Green Energy business reporting a ¥343 million (US$3.4 million) loss for its financial year that ended on 31 March 2013.

Citing the company’s chairman Tetsuo Yamashita, the news site also revealed that the Tokyo-based firm is considering reducing its PV business in Europe.

Since the introduction of Japan’s feed-in tariff last July, the country has experienced a boom in PV interest, particularly in large-scale solar developments. Most recently, Nippon Paper Industries and Mitsubishi Corporation announced that they would be teaming up to develop a 21MW PV facility n Komatsushima-shi, Tokushima prefecture, Japan.
