Japan Boosts Perovskite Solar Tech with Tariff Incentives
Japan's government plans to promote perovskite solar technology through the feed-in tariff system, setting the price of energy produced from perovskite cells at 10 yen per kilowatt-hour or more starting in fiscal 2025. The light, flexible perovskite cells can generate electricity in places where traditional solar panel installation is not feasible, such as building walls and windows. Japanese companies are heavily involved in research and development of the technology, focusing on quality and durability, while Chinese companies are leading in commercialization.With limited land area for solar panel installation, Japan sees the potential for new power generation sites, especially in urban areas, through the spread of perovskite technology. The government aims to support perovskite technology as part of its decarbonization strategy, positioning it as a key pillar for the future. Domestic companies like Sekisui Chemical and Toshiba are working towards commercialization, with Sekisui targeting 2025 for mass production.The expert panel will work out the details for the feed-in tariff system in fiscal 2024, which requires power companies to buy electricity generated using renewable energy at a higher price than conventional power for 10 to 20 years. Japan's focus on perovskite technology comes as it faces intense competition with overseas companies in the solar market, particularly from China. The government's support for perovskite technology is seen as crucial for maintaining Japan's position in the global market and securing a stable supply of key raw materials like iodine. How will Japan's feed-in tariff system promote perovskite solar technology? The feed-in tariff system in Japan will set the price of energy produced from perovskite cells at 10 yen per kilowatt-hour or more starting in fiscal 2025, promoting the adoption of this innovative solar technology. Perovskite cells are light and flexible, making them suitable for installation in places where traditional solar panels may not be feasible, such as building walls and windows, opening up new possibilities for power generation in urban areas. Japanese companies are heavily involved in research and development of perovskite technology, focusing on improving quality and durability, while Chinese companies are leading in commercialization. The government aims to support perovskite technology as part of its decarbonization strategy, positioning it as a key pillar for the future of renewable energy in Japan. Domestic companies like Sekisui Chemical and Toshiba are working towards commercializing perovskite technology, with Sekisui targeting mass production by 2025. The expert panel will work out the details for the feed-in tariff system in fiscal 2024, which will require power companies to buy electricity generated using renewable energy at a higher price than conventional power for 10 to 20 years, incentivizing the adoption of perovskite technology.

Japan Makes Installation of Solar Panels Have To for New House in Tokyo
Japan-- the fifth biggest carbon emitter in the world-- is honking for home photovoltaic panels for each upcoming home in Tokyo, the resources city of Japan. All new houses that will certainly be built in Tokyo blog post April 2025 will be required to always mount solar power panels. With the objective of minimizing carbon emissions from the city households, the new regulation is now gone by the regional assembly of Tokyo. Tokyo is likewise the first prefecture of Japan and the required is the first of its kind for a municipality in the country. Specifically, the ruling will require around 50 major developers and also contractors to ensure that their residences having an area of 2,000 square metres or 21,500 square feet to be fitted with renewable resource power sources. Solar energy panels are the most typical source to generate green electricity. Recently, the Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike pointed out that the city has simple 4 percent structures that get the installation of solar power panels currently. The local government of Tokyo urban wishes to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in the city to half by the end of this years. The reduction will certainly be based on the standard of 2000 levels. According to reports, Risako Narikiyo, a participant from Tomin First no Kai, Koike's local event, stated in the neighborhood body assembly, "In addition to the existing international climate crisis, we face a power crisis with a long term Russia-Ukraine war. There is no time at all to waste." Japan intends to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050-- the center of the century-- but the parody is that the country had actually switched over to coal-fired nuclear power plant following the nuclear reactors' problem in 2011 Fukushima tsunami. In September, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government shared plans according to which it was mulling to make the solar installation in houses necessary. The strategy envisaged in September that the regulations will relate to the structures as well as homes that will have a total flooring space of less than 2,000 square meters yet will leave out the ones that will have a total floor area of less than 20 square meters.
