95.28KW - Solar Farm in Japan
Sep 23, 2022Location: Japan
Installation Date: 2022.9
Generating Capacity: 95.28KW
Japan Solar Market Size: Japan's solar market is growing and the government is encouraging increased renewable energy installations through feed-in tariff (FIT) programs and tax incentives.
Agricultural PV Opportunities: Japan is exploring the potential of agricultural PV, combining solar power with agricultural activities. For example, there is no self-consumption requirement for PV systems ranging from 10 kW to 50 kW, especially for agricultural PV systems, as farms have a relatively small demand for electricity.
Integration of photovoltaics and agriculture: High-quality and stable production of agricultural products has been realized in glass greenhouses with the introduction of agro-type solar power plants. 18.375kW silicon crystal solar panels were installed, realizing the sharing of sunlight between agricultural production and power generation.
Japan's Rooftop PV Program: Japan is actively promoting solar power generation and plans to install PV panels on every building, parking lot, and farm in order to achieve its 2030 emissions reduction goals.
New model of solar energy + agriculture: Japan tries to farm fungus in solar power plants, a model that makes full use of solar power plants in agricultural space and stimulates Japan's rural economy
