▼Promotion of Price Reduction for Solar Power Generation Equipment and Other Initiatives Aimed at Achieving Storage Parity (Collaboration Project with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) With subsidies from the Ministry of the Environment, businesses across the country can utilize this program when introducing solar power generation equipment and storage batteries. By subsidizing part of the expenses required for projects that involve the installation of self-consumption solar power generation systems, such as on-site PPA models, and storage batteries including electric vehicles as mobile storage, the program aims to reduce costs while enhancing regional renewable energy utilization and resilience, strongly promoting the realization of a carbon-neutral green society by 2050. Notably, since the goal is to achieve storage parity, both self-consumption solar power generation systems and storage batteries are eligible for subsidies.

Detailed information

• 

  The "industrial storage battery" excels in terms of energy-saving effects during "normal times." It contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions and corporate social responsibility (CSR), adding value to energy conservation and BCP measures.

• 

  ■Measures for Power Outages During Disasters Even if the power supply is interrupted during a disaster, if there is electricity stored in a battery, it is possible to continue using electricity. This allows for preparedness as part of a BCP (Business Continuity Plan) strategy in case of emergencies.

• 

  ■BCP (Business Continuity Plan) Measures To promptly implement the BCP during a disaster, it is necessary to secure a minimum level of infrastructure. The 'BLP' has a three-phase, three-wire output of 30kW. With a large capacity of 73.7kWh, it provides reliable power supply even during prolonged outages.

• 

  ■Backup for three-phase power equipment is possible. The 'BLP' can supply electricity to three-phase power with an output of 30kW, making it capable of operating large air conditioners, commercial refrigerators, elevators, machine tools, large motors, pumps, and more.

• 

  ■Initiatives for Decarbonization and Achieving SDGs As global warming accelerates, there is a growing demand for enhanced energy conservation in offices and facilities. By combining solar power generation with industrial storage batteries, we can effectively utilize renewable energy sources. This contributes to CO2 reduction and allows for a decrease in energy consumption through energy creation.

• 

  There is a deadline for subsidies. Please consider implementing them as soon as possible when utilizing them. For details on the subsidies we introduce, please check the websites of the relevant ministries and agencies. If you can utilize the subsidies, you may be able to reduce the costs of introducing equipment. By utilizing subsidies, why not consider the introduction of industrial storage batteries or emergency power generation equipment as a preparation for power outages caused by natural disasters?

  Promotion of Price Reduction for Solar Power Generation Equipment and Other Initiatives Aimed at Achieving Storage Parity (Collaboration Project with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) By supporting the introduction of self-consumption type solar power generation equipment and storage batteries with zero initial costs, we aim to achieve storage parity while promoting the price reduction of solar power generation equipment and storage batteries, thereby maximizing the adoption of renewable energy in our country and enhancing disaster resilience. ■ Benefits of Introducing Self-Consumption Type Solar Power Generation Equipment - Contribution to the global environment through the reduction of CO2 emissions - Reduction of electricity bills paid to power companies - Ability to use electricity even during power outages, such as in disasters - Potential for utilization in the international initiative "RE100"

It strongly promotes the realization of a carbon-neutral green society by 2050. A notable feature of this initiative is that it targets not only self-consumption solar power generation systems but also storage batteries, as it aims for storage parity.
