6 FAQs about [Japanese small-scale solar power generation]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 much solar energy does Japan need in 2022?

This is a drastic contrast to even a decade ago when solar energy contributed less than 1% of the country’s energy. In total, solar energy in Japan grew from 11.05 TWh in 2010 to over 260 TWh in 2022. However, even with this shift, the country must dramatically increase its solar energy infrastructure to meet its 2030 and 2050 targets.
