Honda Motor Co has started installing a 9 kilowatt-capacity solar power generation system at the Adachi Odai location of the Honda Cars Tokyo Chuo dealer network.
The installation kicks off a project to install Honda Soltec solar power generation systems with a total capacity of 1 megawatt at Honda automobile dealership locations in Japan by March 31, 2014.
Striving to realize a low carbon society, Honda has been installing solar power generation systems at Honda operations in Japan. The combined capacity of solar power generation systems installed to date has reached 3.3 megawatts, the largest in Japan among all automakers operating.
Honda has been already installing solar power generation systems at some Honda automobile dealership locations; however, in order to further extend the effort to reduce CO2 emissions in the area of sales, Honda made a decision to pursue this large-scale installation of solar power generation systems that includes the installation of a display monitor which shows current power generating situation of solar panels to customers who visit the dealership location.
Furthermore, Honda is planning to install a 2.6-megawatt Honda Soltec solar power generation system to the new Yorii Plant, which is scheduled to become operational in 2013. This will be the largest solar power generation system installed at an automobile production plant in Japan.

This must be a direct translation, but it is very hard for me to understand what this article wants to say.
They have started the Adachi Odai system, which kicks off a project to install at all their facilities. OK. Forget it. I get lost from there...
