Japan’s utility solar market is growing moderately with a CAGR of around 10%, supported by decarbonization policies and energy security concerns. Drivers include government feed-in tariffs and corporate investment in clean energy. Restraints involve limited land availability, aging infrastructure, and high system costs. Opportunities emerge in offshore floating solar and repowering of existing sites. Trends highlight the adoption of AI-driven grid balancing and integration with hydrogen production. The shift toward market-based mechanisms and deregulated power trading is redefining utility-scale solar economics, helping Japan to meet its ambitious climate targets.
