Ogishima Solar Power Plant

The Ogishima Solar Power Plant (扇島太陽光発電所) is a 13 MW solar photovoltaic power station located on the waterfront in Kawasaki.[1] It is the second, and the largest solar plant built by Tepco, and was completed on December 19, 2011.[2] In the first year of operation, it produced 15,059 MWh, a capacity factor of 0.13,[3] which was about 10% greater than anticipated.[4] An unusual feature of the plant is that the panels are mounted at a fixed angle of 10°, instead of the 30°, which would normally be considered optimal for this latitude.[5]
