Solar power




The total capacity of solar power generation in Japan reached 1.13 million kilowatts in 2004, the highest in the world. Residential use accounts for 828,000 kilowatts, 73 percent of the total.

Japan's Ministry of the Environment has nominated Tokyo-based PV-Net as one of the 2005 model projects for CO2 Reduction. According to Japan for Sustainability, PV-Net is enthusiastically promoting new installation of solar power generators under the PV-Green project. Don't know what PV means? have a look at their photovoltic website!

Yes, we can see a lot of solar cell panels on the roof tops of Japanese homes. This is what it often looks like. The top picture is Sanyo's famous Solar Arch. Indeed, the weather here is great for solar power. So many sunny days, compared to Sweden...
