The race to develop new forms of clean energy is heating up, and Japan has taken the lead with a groundbreaking innovation—scientists have developed the ...

As billions of solar panels near the end of their lifespan, Japan looks at innovative solutions to recycle them.

Since the 2011 nuclear disaster, Japan has intensified its commitment to renewable energy. Solar energy now accounts for 10% of the country’s electricity, with a goal of 36–38% by 2030.

traditional silicon-based solar panels dominated the renewable energy market. While effective, their bulk and rigidity often limit their application in densely populated regions like Japan.

In partnership with Meralco Power Academy (MPA) and the local government of Gapan, Peñaranda, and General Tinio, Nueva Ecija, ...

With the right policies, Japan can look forward to a sustainable future in which it no longer imports oil, coal, gas or uranium. Unlimited energy can come from rooftop solar panels, solar farms ...

But the solar-panel tides may be turning, as Japan has created a solar panel that does not use silicon and instead uses a mineral-created material called perovskite. The new panels have caught up ...

UNICEF is constructing 165 schools for girls and boys across Afghanistan, complete with solar panels, latrine blocks and ...

Japan was once the world’s leader in solar panel manufacturing, but its share has fallen to below 1% because of the subsidized competition from Chinese manufacturers. However, Japan can claim that it ...

Japan launched this floating solar project as a means to develop renewable energy after the damage caused by Fukushima in 2011. The Yamakura Dam power plant will contain 50,000 solar photovoltaic ...

The recent tropical cyclone that struck Australia’s Gold Coast has left widespread destruction, severely impacting homes, ...

While traditional solar panels rely heavily on imported silicon, perovskite cells use iodine, a material that can be domestically sourced in Japan. This opens up potential export markets.
