Analysis of Solar Power Generation Costs in Japan 2021

Solar PV module costs account for the largest proportion of total investment costs. As shown in Fig. 3, module unit prices have been declining markedly. In 2018, the median price was around 60,000 yen /kW, but in 2021, it was approximately 30,000 yen/kW, so the cost has fallen by roughly half. Fig. 3 Unit prices for solar modules

Solar Power Generation Costs in Japan

The cost of solar power generation (per kWh) is rapidly declining on a global scale. The generation cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) (utility-scale solar, global weighted average unit cost) has plunged 73% between 2010 and 2017 to 8.5 US cents/kWh (IRENA, 2019).

6 FAQs about [Japan 1 unit solar electricity price]

How much does solar energy cost in Japan?

However, the Generation Cost Verification Working Group (2015) estimates the 2030 generation cost of solar PV (mega solar) at 12.7-15.6 yen/kWh. The energy mix in the Japanese government's long-term energy supply/demand outlook was determined based on this type of estimate.

Do you need a subscription to use solar energy in Japan?

A paid subscription is required for full access. In the fiscal year 2023, the FIT price of electricity that was generated from solar energy in Japan was set at ten Japanese yen per kilowatt hour, reaching a decade-low. The feed-in tariff (FIT) system is a national system under which the unit price of electricity is fixed by the country.

How much will solar PV cost in Japan in 2030?

Based on the above cost structure analysis and findings from existing research, we estimated the generation cost for solar PV in Japan in 2030 based on several scenarios. Our estimate forecasts that generation costs will drop significantly, to the 5-6 yen/kWh level (Fig. S-2).

How much does solar power cost per kWh?

The cost of solar power generation (per kWh) is rapidly declining on a global scale. The generation cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) (utility-scale solar, global weighted average unit cost) has plunged 73% between 2010 and 2017 to 8.5 US cents/kWh (IRENA, 2019).

How much does a power plant cost in Japan?

While the median value for medium size power plants in Japan was 13,500 yen/kW (REI data), the US price for distributed inverters was 0.08 USD/W, which equates to 8,800 yen/kW (NREL, 2018a). Compared to distributed inverters, the unit price for inverters in Japan is approximately 50% higher.

How long will a solar PV power plant operate in Japan?

In the case of a 30-year operating period, a solar PV power plant which commenced operation in 2030 will operate until 2059. At this time, it is likely that the scale of solar PV generation in Japan will be significantly larger. In this situation, it is possible that a frequent oversupply of electricity will occur during daytime hours.
