Guest Post: Getting solar panels in Japan in 2024
For those of us in Tokyo there are still huge government subsidies for Solar and Battery installations. I won''t break down the maths but you should be able to install over 5kw
The cost of solar panel installation in Japan varies widely based on several factors. Fundamentally, solar systems can be categorized into residential and commercial installations, with both featuring divergent pricing structures. Residential systems typically range from ¥1,000,000 to ¥2,800,000 depending on the capacity and brand selected.
Long-Term Investment: Though the initial costs can be high, solar panels typically pay for themselves within 7-10 years due to savings on energy bills. The combination of advanced technology, strong government support, and the commitment of Japanese manufacturers ensures that the country remains at the forefront of the solar energy industry.
5kW is the national average for installing solar panels in a home in Japan. The amount varies depending on the region and the property's roof size. The maximum for a household is 10kW. Do I need a storage battery with solar panels? While not necessary, storage batteries are highly recommended.
There are two types of solar panel systems in Japan: Domestic Systems (under 10kW): Uses the electricity that was generated and sells the excess. Commercial Systems (over 10kW): All generated electricity is sold and can not be used for personal consumption.
