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.

The major South Korean company "Hanwha Japan" (Minato Ward, Tokyo) has announced that it will donate solar power generation equipment to the new comprehensive gymnasium in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. 〇 "Environmentally Friendly Power" for the New Gymnasium The comprehensive gymnasium in Hyuga City has been around for about 50 years and has issues related to aging and seismic resistance. The city is advancing the construction of a new gymnasium that can also serve as a disaster prevention base, but it faces challenges such as financial constraints and a declining population. In response, Hanwha Japan has decided to donate 32 solar power modules (totaling 13.12 kW), 2 power conditioners, and 1 hybrid storage system for the benefit of the community. This is expected to generate approximately 15,943 kWh of electricity annually (equivalent to about 4 to 5 average households). 〇 Useful in Times of Disaster! Active as an "Emergency Power Source" The donated solar power generation and storage batteries will primarily be used for the gymnasium's electricity, but in the event of a disaster, they will be utilized as an emergency power source to operate lights and equipment in evacuation shelters. Additionally, the gymnasium is planned to serve as a storage location for emergency supplies and a long-term evacuation site, becoming the "last bastion" for the community. The new gymnasium is scheduled to be completed by the fiscal year 2026.
