The Solar Ark is a symbol of our goal of achieving a "clean energy society." As well as being a center for local community activities, it has become a local landmark.

Funds matching the equivalent domestic cost of the annual electicity output of the Solar Ark's solar modules are transferred to the SANYO Environmental Fund to support various environmental conservation activities.

Since the Solar Ark was created, we have accumulated data on the power-generating performance of the photovoltaic system. At the photovoltaic conference in Europe, the thesis we delivered analyzing that data received an excellent response.
