Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation (SESJ), a subsidiary of Sharp Corporation, specializing in energy solutions, such as the sales of PV systems and the installation of electrical equipment, will be installing a roof-mounted solar power system at a plant of one of Thailand’s major tire manufacturers, the Deestone Group. With an output of approximately 4.99 megawatt, it will be one of the largest capacity plant rooftop solar power installations that SESJ has built in Thailand.
The new solar power system will be installed on the rooftop of a tire plant of Svizz-One Corporation Ltd., that manufactures tires for passenger vehicles in central Thailand. The Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation will handle the engineering, procurement and construction of the system. Completion and start of operations are scheduled for the end of March 2022.

The system’s annual power-generation capacity is estimated to be approximately 7,293 megawatt hours. All of the generated electricity will be self-consumed at the plant, which will result in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of roughly 2,326 t-CO2/year. The Deestone Group is also planning to install solar power systems at its other manufacturing bases in Thailand. (mfo)
