About the Report 

Japan's PV (photovoltaic) sector is a dynamic industry driven by ambitious climate targets and technological innovation that focuses on expanding solar energy to reduce import dependency and meet energy demand, with a strong focus on perovskite solar cells, smart grids, energy storage, and even space-based solar power. The government is promoting private investment and introducing new obligations such as the solar power requirement in Tokyo to increase renewable energy to up to 50% by 2040.

This report provides a comprehensive overview on Japan’s solar power industry within the context of the country’s broader decarbonization targets and evolving energy policies. It focuses on the Japanese market for PV plants, PV technology developments, and a future outlook on PV as a well-established and important element of Japan’s GX strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy security.
