Juwi group (Wörrstadt, Germany) has recently commissioned a free-field solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in Southern France, also a rooftop PV plant was connected to the grid in Japan.

Near Bordeaux in the department Gironde, juwi has commissioned its eleventh solar PV park in the country. “Mios 2“ was built as an extension of the plant “Mios 1”, that was connected to the grid in 2011.

Juwi Shizen Energy  installed a first free-field photovoltaic plant with a capacity of 1 MW at the end of 2012

With a capacity of 10.5 megawatts (MW) “Mios 2” is even more powerful than “Mios 1“, the capacity of both PV plants now is 19 MW. The solar park is situated in a forest domain that was heavily damaged in the years 1999 and 2009. The domain can now be used in a new and useful way.
Big PV in Japan

In Kumamoto, on the Japanese island Kyushu, juwi recently connected the rooftop PV plant „Bear 2” to the grid. The plant consists of 4,088 solar modules and was erected within only four weeks. It has a capacity of 1 MW and produces one million kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar power per year.

The plant was realized by the newly founded joint venture juwi Shizen Energy. The rooftop system is the second project of the joint venture. A first free-field photovoltaic plant with a capacity of 1 MW was installed at the end of 2012.
