"Softbank
Corporation is Japan’s Tokyo-based and third-largest cellphone carrier, but it
has been getting into the energy game since the Fukushima disaster really shook up its CEO. In September,
it was announced that Softbank and Mitsui would team up to build the largest
solar power plant in Japan. Now, Softbank has announced that it intends
to install solar panels on the rooftops of 1,000 homes in order to take
advantage of the country’s incentive program for clean energy.
Softbank
is using Sharp and Suntech solar panels for this project, and it will sell the
electricity generated by them to utility companies."
