Japan Solar Energy Industry Trends and Drivers:

The solar energy market in Japan is rapidly growing due to the high levels of solar energy targeting, renewable energy support systems, reduced cost of solar technology, energy security needs, and increasing corporate and residential use of clean energy technologies. The government has made efforts to ensure that it becomes carbon neutral in 2050 and has had an intermediate target on the level of renewable energy capacity through policy frameworks such as feed-in tariffs, subsidies and other forms of regulatory incentive that promote the investments in solar installations. The Fukushima nuclear crisis fundamentally redefined the priorities in Japan energy policy giving renewable energy a more important role and minimizing the role of nuclear energy in the country initiating massive investments in solar-based infrastructure in residential, commercial and utility-scale installations. The falling prices of photovoltaic panels, inverters, and balance-of-systems have enhanced the economics of solar energy in that the installations are now economically viable without huge subsidies and offer attractive payback on investments to homeowners, business, and utilities. The domestic energy low availability and overdependence on imported fossil fuels cause vulnerabilities in the energy security of Japan necessitating the role played by solar energy in the generation of indigenous and sustainable energy to lower the import dependency and exposure to price fluctuations.

Technological advances that are being experienced in the market include high efficiency solar panels, bifacial modules, integration of energy storage and advanced inverter technology that maximize energy capture and system performance. The emergence of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and new installation options are solutions to the unavailable space in Japan since they introduce solar generation to building facades, roofs, and city roads. The increasing corporate interest in ecology and acquisition of renewable energy via power purchase contracts and on-site plants indicates that business is aware of environmental accountability and pressure on the company. The adoption of residential solar is only growing, and people are interested in energy independence, utility bills reduction, and involvement in the energy transition in Japan and enjoy available incentives and funding. Moreover, the combination of solar energy and battery storage systems results in increased self-consumption and backup energy supply during outages and inclusion in virtual power station networks, which can help to better optimize the use of distributed energy resources, as well as support stability in the grid and contribute to the faster decentralization, resiliency, and sustainability of energy systems.
