6 FAQs about [Japan Road Solar Power Generation]

What are tokyo's'solar roads' and 'power-generating floors'?

The Tokyo metropolitan government intends to take the initiative in introducing the new technologies of "solar roads" that collect energy from the sun via solar panels installed beneath the surface of roads and "power-generating floors" that generate electricity by utilizing the vibrations created by people walking, according to sources.

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.

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 Japan harness the potential of solar power?

Japan’s efforts to harness the potential of solar power, a well-known renewable energy source, will shine a light on humanity’s future. Japan is making steady progress toward the implementation of the groundbreaking technologies of both space-based solar power and flexible solar cells.

What are Japan's Energy plans?

Japan’s 6th Strategic Energy Plan (released in 2021) and the GX (Green Transformation) Decarbonization Power Supply Bill (released in 2023) target increasing the share of non-fossil fuel generation sources to 59% of the generation mix by 2030 compared with 31% in 2022.

How many solar panels are installed in Japan in 2020?

Accordingly, the annual and the cumulative PV installed capacity in 2020 in Japan reached respectively 8,7 GWDC and 71,9 GWDC, exceeding 70 GW.
