Summary of Survey Results
Compared to last fiscal year's ranking, Hanwha Japan's significant leap is the most prominent result. While Choshu Sangyo and Canadian Solar dominated the top spots in the first half of 2025, Hanwha Japan's market share expanded rapidly from autumn onwards. This is believed to be due to the concurrent release of a new panel boasting top-tier domestic power generation efficiency.
In the Tokyo market, AIKO Solar, which is compatible with the metropolitan government's supplementary subsidies, has continued to expand its market share since last year, ranking third this time as well.
This period often sees a delay in contract signings as consumers wait to assess subsidy trends. This year, with the inclusion of cybersecurity requirements in the DR subsidy for storage batteries, there is a potential impact on solar panel product selection, and future trends are being closely watched.
