6 FAQs about [Small-scale solar power generation in Japan]

What percentage of Japan's Energy is solar?

In 2022, solar energy accounted for 5.39% of Japan’s total energy mix and 9.91% of its electricity generation. In both cases, solar power in Japan holds the largest share of all renewable sources. This is a drastic contrast to even a decade ago when solar energy contributed less than 1% of the country’s energy.

Is solar energy the future of Japan's Energy Strategy?

Solar energy in Japan is emerging as a cornerstone of Japan’s strategy to meet its ambitious long-term sustainability goals. The Sixth Strategic Energy Plan aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 with an interim goal of 36-38% of energy from renewables by 2030.

Why is solar power growing in Japan?

The steady growth of solar power in Japan is attributed to several factors, including the country’s focus on energy security, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. Post-Fukushima, there was a national reevaluation of energy sources.

Will Japan's solar energy industry grow in 2029?

Overall, the growth potential for Japan’s solar energy sector is immense, which will help spur the country’s domestic PV industry. Forecasts suggest the solar energy market will see a compound annual growth rate of 9.2% until 2029.

How many solar panels are installed on farmland in Japan?

In April 2020, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) eased the requirements for approving power sources as locally-used power sources for small-scale commercial PV systems on farmland under the FIT program. Cumulative installations of PV systems on farmland in Japan are estimated to be more than 3,000 systems, or more than 600 MW.

Can solar energy be used in Japan?

To maximize the use of solar energy and overcome those drawbacks, two promising technologies have been developed: space-based solar power (SBSP) and next-generation flexible solar cells. Japan is making steady progress toward the practical implementation of both.
