Luxor Solar has already been represented in the field of solar technology on the Japanese market since 2012. In addition to its German headquarters in Stuttgart, the Luxor Solar has other offices in Japan and the United States of America. The company has a decade of expertise in the development and production of solar modules and is now active in 70 countries.
Luxor recently completed the construction of a first Next2Sun vertical bifacial agri-PV plant in Japan. The new plant has a capacity of 96.6 kilowatts and is located in Fukushima Prefecture in Japan. The mounting structure of the plant comes from Next2Sun, and the heterojunction modules come from Luxor. The AgriPV system was adapted by Next2Sun specifically for the Japanese market to withstand the high wind loads there.
The plant was built for ISEP - Institute for Sustainable Energy Policy. ISEP is an independent, non-profit research organization founded in 2000 by energy experts and climate activists. Through its work, ISEP aims to provide resources and services for the realization of a sustainable energy society. Valuable research on the compatibility of various crops with vertical bifacial agri-PV systems is planned at the facility. Also, the facility will be used for research purposes regarding the energy yield of such plants in Japan. (mfo)
