As a part of the New Sunshine Project carried out by the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology of MITI, the New Energy and industrial Technology Development Organization has commissioned Okinawa Electric Power Co. Inc. and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to jointly develop the practical technology for a photovoltaic-diesel hybrid generation system for small islands.The project involves constructing, on a small island, a stand-alone system which uses photovoltaic power (solar arrays of 750 kW) as the main source and diesel power (300 kW) as the auxiliary source.It is designed to supply electric power to private houses which are isolated from existing distribution lines.
