Our latest initiative in solar power generation is the development of a mega-solar power plant with a generation capacity of 92,000 KW in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, which suffered
Among power stations sourced by renewables such as solar, wind, biomass and geothermal energies, solar (photovoltaic) power plants generate the greatest amount of electricity in Japan.
Japan is a world leader in the photovoltaic (PV) market, with a significant share of the global market since about 45% of photovoltaic cells are manufactured in Japan. The country has been at the forefront of solar energy innovation and has been investing heavily in the development of solar PV technology.
Japan is also investing in other innovative solar PV technologies, such as space-based solar power and flexible perovskite solar cells. Setouchi Kirei Mega Solar Power Plant - located in Setouchi, Okayama, is the largest solar power station in Japan, with a generating capacity of 235 MW.
With continued investment and innovation, Japan's photovoltaic industry is poised for unprecedented growth in the coming years. With a 9.2% CAGR, Japan aims for 117.6 GW PV capacity by 2030, backed by robust government support and projects like the Setouchi Kirei Mega Solar Power Plant.
