This project was featured prominently in the March 13, 2026, issue of the \u201cHokkaido Construction News.\u201d Unlike conventional flat-mounted systems, installing the panels vertically not only prevents a drop in power generation caused by snow accumulation but also utilizes reflected light from the snow surface to improve power generation efficiency.Furthermore, in addition to being compatible with agricultural land, cropland, and dairy farms, the system offers significant advantages in terms of maintenance. At Asahikawa Gas, the system was installed at the Asahikawa Miyamae G Site and the Ebetsu Branch at the end of October last year and has been generating stable power even during the winter months. Moving forward, the company plans to share the demonstration results with municipalities\u2014starting with Asahikawa, with which it has a comprehensive regional partnership agreement\u2014and intends to promote this initiative as a PPA provider. North Energy will continue to devote its full efforts to the widespread adoption of renewable energy toward achieving carbon neutrality!<\/p>\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                            <!--\/\/ Article B ==========-->\r\n\r\n                            <!-- Article C ==========-->\r\n                            <div class=\"top-topics-item\" id=\"topic-C\">\r\n                                <div class=\"top-topics-item-inner\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"top-topics-box\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"top-topics-img-wrap\">\r\n                                            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/uni-sight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/149_topic_c.jpg\" alt=\"\"\r\n                                                width=\"450\" height=\"252\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1918\" \/>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"top-topics-title\">UAI Visits \u201cWorld Tea Expo\u201d with Client<\/h3>\r\n                                        <div class=\"top-uni-square-text-wrap\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"top-topics-text\">\r\n                                                <p>UNIVA America (UAI) visited the \u201cWorld Tea Expo,\u201d held in Las Vegas from March 23\u201325, alongside our client, Wakohen Co., Ltd.
