The proposed 18MW solar power plant will be located at the Nakazato Industrial Park and is scheduled to become operational in autumn 2015.

Chubu Electric Power has agreed to purchase power generated at the facility, which is enough to meet the electricity needs of around 5,700 standard households.

In addition, Suzuki will promote the installation of solar panels on the unused land of Maisaka-cho, located in Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu, and the roof of the Hamamatsu Plant, which is expected to be constructed in Miyakoda-cho of the Kita-ku, Hamamatsu.

Suzuki Motor manufactures and markets motorcycles, automobiles, marine, and power products in Japan, Europe, Asia, and internationally.
