Solar''s Share of New Capacity Has Grown Rapidly Solar has been the predominant new generating capacity to the grid every year since 2021. Solar continued to lead the energy
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.
The uneven distribution of solar PV systems poses challenges and opportunities for Japan’s ambitious solar targets. Results show that energy demand significantly influences residential and small-scale PV system installation.
Japan’s case may serve as a reference for optimizing solar PV deployment strategies globally, contributing to the broader discourse on small-scale renewable energy expansion. 1. Introduction 1.1. Background on the Japanese energy transition
According to the estimated PV penetration rate using the total PV capacity as of 2023, Japan has a potential PV penetration rate of 11.13% without solar curtailment. However, at the regional level, curtailment has been reported in the Kyushu Region since 2018 .
Japan has the third highest solar capacity in the world behind China and the United States, but its formerly rapid growth has slowed considerably. According to the latest data released in a fiscal 2023 white paper on energy, Japan’s cumulative installed solar-power capacity was 69.35 million kilowatts in fiscal 2021.
The municipality was already predicted to have a high PV capacity share, but these efforts have made it the municipality with Japan’s highest solar power generation. Nagoya is the municipality with the highest residential solar PV capacity as of December 2023.
