It is said that the number of residential solar power generation systems installed will increase from 2020 to 2030. This is because in the ``post-FIT market,'' where the FIT system has reached its expiration date, a new type of solar energy business is expected to expand.
For example, if you want to mainly store electricity rather than sell it, by combining it with a storage battery, you can effectively utilize the electricity you generate while maintaining your solar power generation system. The stored electricity can be used at night or during power outages, and you will be able to realize the benefits in ways other than electricity sales.
Also, with the advent of a wide variety of smart products, users' options are expanding. As we can expect not only an increase in demand but also technological development, we can expect both the number of installations and the amount of power generated to increase over the next 10 years from 2020.

From 2020 onwards, the number of "ZEH" is expected to increase. ZEH is a home that aims to increase the amount of energy it generates in-house rather than the amount of electricity it consumes by installing a solar power generation system and improving insulation performance. Not only can you save on utility costs, including electricity bills, but you also have the advantage of receiving subsidies from the government.
The goal is for 50% of new construction to be ZEH by 2030, and this will continue to increase. As of 2020, there are less than 100,000 buildings, but the number is expected to increase to 160,000 in 10 years. As ZEH becomes mainstream, demand for solar power generation will also increase.
Even in the house you currently live in, it is possible to carry out "energy renovations" such as installing a solar power generation system, storage batteries, and improving insulation performance to save energy. In addition to renovating your home, installing an electric vehicle can also be a beneficial initiative.
As energy reform accelerates, it will also lead to an increase in the number of solar power generation systems installed. Homes that have been lived in for many years often need to be renovated, and you will be able to experience various added values through energy renovation.

Electricity self-sufficiency and stronger legislation regarding solar power generation systems can also be said to be factors influencing the increase in the number of solar power generation systems. One such initiative is to clearly state the target number of new ZEHs to be built, and to require the introduction and consideration of ZEHs.
For example, if systems such as subsidy systems that are easy to feel are beneficial are strengthened, more people will decide on ZEH or energy renovation. Efforts by the country are an important point in determining future penetration rates.
In order to achieve electricity self-sufficiency, it is important to understand the characteristics of equipment related to solar power generation. Great benefits can be obtained by selecting the optimal one in terms of performance of multiple devices such as solar panels and power conditioners. Let's take a look at the improvements in product performance and cost performance compared to the conventional model.
As solar power generation systems attract increasing attention these days, various research and development results regarding solar panels have been reported both in Japan and abroad. Although there are some that have not yet been put into practical use, representative examples are as follows.
Research is continuing to reduce costs so that it can be introduced for residential use. In the past, many solar panels were expensive due to their high efficiency, but in the future, equipment with high power generation efficiency that is easy to obtain will appear. It can be expected to be used effectively even in areas where it is difficult to collect sunlight.
In order to supply the electricity generated by a solar power generation system, conversion with a power conditioner is required. Until now, many devices were large and required a lot of space, but in recent years they have become smaller.
Also, equipment has been released that has enhanced tracking of solar radiation so that it can be converted efficiently even in bad weather. Even in areas where there is concern about deterioration due to sea breezes, equipment for salt-damaged areas can be installed outdoors. Even users who have not received much benefit from solar power generation will now be able to choose from a wide range of options and install a system that suits their environment.
