Kyocera installs 160KW modules at Tajikistan medical facilities

Marking the first installations for Kyocera in the country, the company deployed 768 Kyocera 210W solar modules in total.

The company also assisted with the engineering and technical support for the project and Marubeni Protechs Corporation managed the construction.

The Diakov Hospital has received 120KW, while the Research Institution of Obstetrics Gynecology and Perinatology received 40KW. Both facilities are located in the capital city Dushanbe.

Together, the facilities will produce about 196MWh of electricity a year and offsetting nearly 62t of CO2 emissions annually, according to the Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA).

Funded is being provided under the Official Development Assistance (ODA) of the Japanese government to enhance the power generation capacity in Tajikistan. Kyocera’s solar power generating systems are the first grid-connected systems in the country.

Kyocera, in 1984, provided solar power to a Pakistani village as part of the ODA project and has been part of nearly 40 ODA projects, having supplied over 3MW of solar systems in Asia and Africa.
