Kiwapower and Hajime Precision Plastic Product de México (“Hajime”) are pleased to announce the successful start of operations of a 200 kW solar photovoltaic system located on the rooftop of Hajime’s manufacturing facility in Jalisco, Mexico. The solar system is composed of about 550 modules.

Hajime entered into a Solar Energy Supply Agreement, under which Kiwapower provides solarenergy-as-a-service to Hajime’s facility in Jalisco. Kiwapower as the owner of the solar system, is responsible for its installation, monitoring, management, and maintenance.

Our facility looks great with its newly equipped solar system and running on clean solar energy feels great as well!”

The photovoltaic system is expected to generate approximately 420 MWh per year, enough to supply the needs of 190 Mexican families, and avoid more than 225 tons of CO2 emissions, supplying about 80% of the facility’s total power consumption.
