The obligation to recycle solar panels has been postponed - JCLP expresses concerns.

ケネスエネルギー開発

A bill to mandate the recycling of solar panels was postponed from being submitted to the National Diet, prompting the environmental economic organization **Japan Climate Leaders Partnership (JCLP)** to publish a statement expressing strong concerns on September 18. The background to this is the expectation that the annual disposal of solar panels will increase to about 500,000 tons starting in the late 2030s. The government had been considering a system to mandate recycling, but difficulties in adjusting the cost burden led to the postponement. JCLP pointed out the need for the early establishment of a flexible and effective system for the effective use of resources, prevention of illegal dumping, and the creation of domestic employment. They stated their commitment to proactively work towards achieving both decarbonization and a circular economy. Additionally, they strongly urged the government to design a system that allows all power generation companies to participate in recycling, stating that there are limits to what can be achieved through the voluntary efforts of businesses alone. Furthermore, Environment Minister Asao announced a policy for reviewing the system at a press conference in August, explaining that consistency with existing recycling laws is a challenge.

Facilities that don't stop even during power outages. The choice of rooftop solar as the core of BCP.
Before a "power outage" during a disaster becomes fatal. In normal times, it reduces electricity costs, and in emergencies, it ensures power supply—solar power generation fulfills both roles.

■ Product and Service Features Solar power generation system with autonomous operation function that can be used during power outages Reduces electricity costs by supplying power for daytime business activities through solar energy Can be combined with storage batteries to support BCP measures such as emergency lighting, communication, and heating/cooling Proven track record in local governments, hospitals, logistics centers, educational institutions, and more ■ Recommended for those facing the following challenges Seeking to secure energy during power outages as a disaster response base Wanting to maintain a minimum power supply during emergencies (for communication, lighting, refrigeration, etc.) Struggling with high electricity costs on a regular basis Looking to simultaneously advance ESG, decarbonization efforts, and BCP measures
Roof-mounted solar power electricity cost reduction simulation case insider information disclosure
Up to 28% reduction in electricity costs with rooftop solar! Total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, with a track record of 83 solar power plants built over 12 years! Names of partner companies are also publicly available!

Reduce costs and CO₂ simultaneously without stopping high-precision manufacturing equipment! A self-consumption solar power generation system is a mechanism that generates electricity for use on-site through solar power. Instead of purchasing electricity generated far away, "producing the necessary electricity where it is used" is the most efficient and environmentally friendly energy strategy. [Explanation Material Contents] ■ Why is the self-consumption solar power generation system thriving now? ■ Necessary considerations for installing a self-consumption solar power generation system.
Reduce warehouse electricity costs by 20%! Would you like to install rooftop solar power generation?
With zero initial investment and zero risk, you can capitalize on the roofs of factories and warehouses, utilizing them to reduce electricity costs and as a new source of net profit.

The warehouse roof is unused... what a waste! By using "solar power from the roof" to cover your own electricity needs, you can achieve both a reduction in electricity costs and a decrease in CO₂ emissions simultaneously. - **Start with zero initial costs (PPA)** - Cost reduction through subsidies - Effective for BCP measures and environmental reporting! 【Reasons why solar power generation is optimal】 - Reliable and sustainable cost reduction Just by installing it on the roof, you can generate your own electricity during the day, directly reducing fuel and electricity costs. - No need for human resources Operation and management are minimal. It can be implemented even in sites with a shortage of personnel. - Zero initial costs with subsidies and PPA model Utilize subsidies from the national and local governments. With PPA, you can start with zero initial investment.
Just by renting out the roof, you can generate new net profit and also earn rental income from rooftop solar power.
With zero initial investment and zero risk, you can capitalize on the roofs of factories and warehouses, utilizing them as a new pillar of net profit.

〇Reduction of electricity costs (cost-cutting) Reduce electricity bills by 17-28% with industrial self-consumption solar power Immediate effect, with benefits felt right after installation 〇Net profit (rental income) Earn fixed rental income just by leasing your roof Becomes a "new pillar of profit" with no risk and reduced manpower
