My Decision for Solar Technology against Nuclear Electric Power ( Japanese
 September
1st, 2024
   I am Norio, who live in Japan and I will tell my story of installing Solar Technology for the home as following.
   On 11th March, 2011. Most serious Accident of Fukushima Dai-ichi(1st) Nuclear Electric Power Plant hit by HUGE Earthquake and Tsunami made me decide to install a Generator unit of Solar System to save more energy, to have the first step with doing away , saying Sayonara "Nuclear Power Plant" from Japan.
   Speaking about saving energy, I have already installed the home electric power generation by gas engine called ECO-WILL (Tokyo Gas Co.), which also providing hot water and floor heating, since 2007. It is only for home use, not to feed back to Tokyo Electric Co.
In addition, though we all family have been trying to do something for saving with many ways for long time, in facing the Serious Accident, we really felt to make more and more effort to save ENERGY for our planet.
   I will tell you my story of Solar System Installation and Generation Record below. I will be very happy if my story helps you starting SOLAR life!!


 
My solar system installation consists of the following:
(1) Equipment / Parts  
Solar modules :   Kyosera KJ775P   77.5 watt solar modules * 28 = 2,170w__(Photo : upper Left)
 KJ62P
__62.0 watt solar modules * 8 = ___496w
 KJ46P
__46.0 watt solar modules * 9 = ___414w
 Total
__3,080w
 All modules on the 45 degree grade roof is facing South-East (-35 degree)
Inverter :  Kyosera PVN-403F 4.0kw inverter__(Photo : upper Right, Removed on Sep.27th, 2021)
Display for Monitoring system _:  Kyosera PMD47C-R 7.0 inches monitor_(Photo : three on bottom, Removed on Sep.27th, 2021)
