Independent power generation system, operating stably even in a desert region of Mongolia

The village of Noyon in the People's Republic of Mongolia has a population of only 160, and previously had no electricity supply. An independent solar power generation system was set up here through a joint project with NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). This solar power generation system from Sharp is stably operating even in this desert region, with severe conditions of intense heat in the summer, and considerable snowfall in the winter.
