What can be done to increase the use of solar cells in Japan? Kazuhei Matsubara

Introduction Solar cells are widely used as power source But solar power generation is not popular in Japan different from other power generation (nuclear power, steam power, water power, etc.) Solar cell

To increase the use of solar cells The production of solar cells are lower than other country(Europe, China,) It’s necessary to increase the solar cell production

To increase the use of solar cells The cost of solar cell is about 600,000 yen per 1kw It’s difficult for personal to use the solar cell There is need for more support from the government (increase the subsidy, reduction tax, etc)

To increase the use of solar cells Solar celles can only generate electric power when daytime (need sunlight) If charge the battery when daytime We can use the electric power generated by solar cells at night It’s necessary to install the battery with solar cells

Conclusion Therefore, we can increase the use of solar cells in Japan With an increase in the use of solar cells, We can reduce the dependency on the nuclear and fossil fuel energy
