RTS forecasts Japan''s PV installed capacity will reach 14.7 to
The annual PV installed capacity is estimated to gradually increase from 7 GWDC to 8.1 GWDC (6.0 GWAC) by 2030, and 147 GWDC (117 GWAC) on the cumulative basis
The uneven distribution of solar energy across Japan presents both challenges and opportunities for the nation's goal of increasing its solar PV capacity. As Japan seeks to enhance its solar PV infrastructure, certain municipalities risk reaching installation saturation, which could impede further growth.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, solar capacity in Japan has increased over the past decade. Japan tracks capacity at the following intervals: 10 kW, 50 kW, 500 kW, 1 MW, and 2 MW. For clarity, these capacities are grouped into residential, small-scale, medium-scale, and utility-scale categories, as indicated in Fig. 1.
The Sixth Strategic Energy Plan now aims for solar PV to account for approximately 14%–16% of Japan's electricity generation by fiscal year 2030 . Achieving this new target will necessitate doubling the capacity established in 2019. As illustrated in Fig. 1, solar capacity in Japan has increased over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Japan has experienced rapid growth in Solar Photovoltaics (PV) energy, propelled by ambitious renewable energy targets.
