Next-generation solar panels appear on airport roofs.

The latest "Calcophyllite Solar Cells" have been installed at the international terminal building of Fukuoka Airport. These solar cells are characterized by their ultra-lightweight and thin design, weighing only 0.8 kg per square meter. Because they can be installed without putting a burden on the roofs of buildings and facilities, they are attracting attention as a technology that greatly expands the possibilities of solar power generation in the future.
The installation and demonstration experiments will be conducted by Kyuden Mirai Energy. The solar cells are provided by PXP Corporation, the construction is handled by Kyudenko, and the installation support is provided by JGC Corporation, with performance and construction feasibility being verified from December 2025 to February 2026.
Particularly in places like airports, the shape of the roof and the impact of reflected light are also important verification points. This time, practical usability will be confirmed, including those factors.
Fukuoka Airport is also planning an exhibition to introduce the details of the experiment. The day may soon come when lightweight and high-performance solar cells become the "norm" in future buildings.
