There has been a great response to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s announcement in 2022 of “ the mandatory installation of photovoltaic power generation for new buildings ” and the term “the mandatory installation” seems to have made a particularly strong impression.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Bureau of Environment’s solar power portal site provides detailed explanations of not only the “subject of the mandatory installation,” but also the implementation date of the program (April 2025), “benefits of installing PV system,” “actual costs,” and other details.
In March last year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government established a 150 billion yen fund to subsidize the installation of solar power generation equipment for Tokyo residents. Subsidies will be provided if solar panels are installed during the construction of new eco-friendly houses or while retrofitting existing houses with insulation.
Other cities in Japan are also starting to mandate the installation of solar power equipment. Kyoto Prefecture has required the installation of photovoltaic power generation and other renewable energy equipment since April 2022 for new or expanded buildings with a total floor area between 300 and 2000 square meters.
We will realize our vision of Tokyo as a more resilient, prosperous, and livable city. Q Who is responsible for installing solar power generations? ✔ Major housing suppliers that supply over 20,000 ㎡ of housing on a yearly basis (approx. 50 companies)will be subject to this mandate.
However, small and medium-sized construction companies are not subject to this obligation. It is estimated that only half of the new buildings in Tokyo (40,000 to 50,000 units per year) will be subject to this obligation. Other cities in Japan are also starting to mandate the installation of solar power equipment.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
