Sharp Solar Solution Asia Co., Ltd.*1 (SSSA) today signed a memorandum with PT Indonesia Comnets Plus (PLN Icon Plus)*2, a subsidiary of Indonesia’s state-owned power company PLN, for collaboration in the photovoltaic solar rooftop system business in Indonesia.

In recent years, Indonesia has been rapidly expanding the use of renewable energy, including through the installation of solar power systems in factories and commercial facilities. PLN Icon Plus is developing new businesses such as rooftop solar power systems in Indonesia, and by concluding this memorandum, SSSA and PLN Icon Plus agreed to jointly promote project development and accelerate proposals for solar power systems on factory roofs and other locations, focusing on Japanese companies operating in Indonesia.

With the signing of this memorandum, Sharp will provide energy solutions based on customer needs and strengthen proposals for rooftop solar power systems in factories and commercial facilities, which are expected to expand in the future.
