Softbank Corporation is Japan’s Tokyo-based and third-largest cellphone carrier, but it has been getting into the energy game since the Fukushima disaster really shook up its CEO. In September, it was announced that Softbank and Mitsui would team up to build the largest solar power plant in Japan.

Softbank is using Sharp and Suntech solar panels for this project, and it will sell the electricity generated by them to utility companies.
