Reducing electricity costs × Carbon neutrality Coexisting with agriculture through agrivoltaics
Kubota expands its agricultural solar power generation fourfold to 20 MW, directly supplying the generated renewable energy to its own factories.
Reducing CO₂ emissions by over 10,000 tons annually while balancing regional agriculture and carbon neutrality. We support the reduction of electricity costs for agricultural management, food factories, and agricultural corporations through "agricultural solar power" installed on abandoned farmland and agricultural land, as well as the utilization of regional circular renewable energy. [Background: Why is agricultural solar power gaining attention now?] - Kubota has introduced solar power facilities on agricultural land, primarily in Tochigi and Ibaraki. - The operational area has expanded from 20 hectares to 80 hectares, resulting in an annual CO₂ reduction of over 10,000 tons. - The generated electricity is supplied to our Tsukuba factory, Keiyo factory, and Sakai manufacturing plant. - We have also succeeded in improving the quality and yield of crops. → A "regional circular model" that allows for effective use of agricultural land and securing self-generated power simultaneously.
