SolarCity, engaged in solar power design, financing, installation, monitoring and energy efficiency services, will provide resources to manage the power project.
The solar facility will provide renewable electricity to a city facility located on reclaimed industrial land not suitable for agriculture.
The solar arrays will consist of high-efficiency solar panels manufactured in Japan, and will be installed by local workers in Fukushima.
The Musk Foundation donated the funds and SolarCity donated labor to build a solar power system for a hurricane response center in southern Alabama in December 2010, to provide renewable power with battery backup to an area that had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina and the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
SolarCity will manage project at no cost to provide clean, renewable electricity to water treatment plant in area still recovering from effects of tsunami.
