 As parts of the construction sites are located on agricultural land, PVDP has asked a Fraunhofer Institute to simulate the effects of shadowing on growth of biomass and to design an Agri-Solar system that would both satisfy the requirements of METI for the use of such land and local farmers’ needs.To cope with challenging topography, proximity to sea and high wind speeds PVDP undertook various simulations to propose a workable design for the solar installations and adjacent high voltage equipment, that were forming the basis for approvals obtained by Kyudenko as designated engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company for the construction of the project.The project shows the flexibility of photovoltaic installations to adapt to challenging conditions and is an convincing example of the ability to overcome any obstacles if in the interest of all stakeholders.
