Perovskite Solar Cells: NEDO Design and Installation Guidelines

Environment Business Online Japan

Overview

NEDO has released design and installation guidelines for flexible solar cells, including perovskite technology, to ensure safety and reliability during deployment. The initiative supports government targets to establish mass production and achieve domestic installations of approximately 20GW by 2040.

In Depth

Key Findings

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has published the “Design and Installation Guidelines for Flexible Solar Cells.” These guidelines establish required specifications prior to actual installation examples to facilitate the safe and reliable adoption of perovskite and other next-generation solar technologies.

Technical Details and Market Potential

Film-type solar cells offer flexibility and lightweight properties, enabling installation on walls and roofs that cannot support traditional panels. The source identifies significant market potential for these technologies:

• Domestic demand in Japan is estimated at approximately 25GW.
• Overseas installation potential is estimated at approximately 500GW.

Government Roadmap and Targets

The Japanese government has outlined specific strategic goals for the deployment of perovskite solar cells:

• Cost Reduction: Establish mass production technology to bring power generation costs down to 14 yen/kWh or less by fiscal year 2030.
• Installation Volume: Reach approximately 20GW of domestic installations by 2040.
• Public Infrastructure: Target 5GW of installations by 2035 across public facilities and infrastructure, including airports, roads, and railways, utilizing government procurement.

Background and Support Mechanisms

To secure mass production capabilities, the government is providing support for research, development, and capital investment through initiatives such as the Green Innovation (GI) Fund and the GX Supply Chain Construction Support Project. These measures, combined with the new NEDO guidelines, are intended to transition the technology from the research phase to widespread industrial application in public and private sectors.
