The energy policy promoted by the government has finally made a significant shift from "quantity to quality." The previous large-scale introduction of renewable energy policies relied on inexpensive foreign-made panels, leading to the chaotic installation of mega-solar farms across Japan's land, which created environmental, landscape, and waste issues. As a result, Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate remains at a mere 13%, and even with the advancement of renewable energy, "import dependence" has not been resolved. In light of this reflection, the focus moving forward will be on "developing domestic energy technologies" and promoting "self-consumption type renewable energy." Among these, perovskite solar cells are lightweight, highly efficient, and offer great flexibility in installation, making them a trump card for "decentralized renewable energy" that can be easily retrofitted onto building walls and roofs. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "selective self-consumption solar power generation system" that utilizes domestic panels and perovskite technology. Based on a track record of 83 projects nationwide and a total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, it supports the industry's "energy independence." Now, renewable energy is entering an era of "security infrastructure."

"Perovskite solar cells" are once again emerging at the center of Japan's renewable energy policy. Mr. Takai has proposed "nurturing domestic technology for renewable energy" as part of energy and industrial policy, causing related stocks to attract attention in the market as the "Takai trade." The background to this is Japan's long-standing dependence on foreign-made panels in its renewable energy structure. While inexpensive imports have supported proliferation, they have also left a "negative legacy" of forest development, disposal risks, and price fluctuations. If this continues, both the land and energy supply will be controlled by foreign entities—this sense of crisis is the trigger for policy change. Perovskite solar cells possess the trifecta of being lightweight, highly efficient, and low-cost, making installation in existing buildings easy. Development is progressing as a domestic technology, and it is expected to become a mainstay for self-consumption power generation in the future. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "next-generation self-consumption solar power system" with an eye on these perovskite cells. With over 8,000 installations nationwide and expertise in subsidy support, they are turning companies' "energy independence" into reality.
