Decision Made on Adopted Projects for the FY2025 New Energy Promotion Technology Development Support Program!

Outline of Adopted Projects

◆ Project Name

Development of domestically produced lightweight solar power generation systems with a view to integration with next-generation solar cells, and promotion of reuse/recycling of solar power generation panels through the utilization of lifespan prediction technology.

◆ Main Implementing Organizations

Lead Company: Kyocera Corporation

Participating Companies, etc.: Kyowa Holdings Co., Ltd.

◆ Project Overview

With a view to integration with next-generation solar cells, we will develop domestically produced lightweight solar power generation systems that are compatible with buildings where conventional solar power generation systems are difficult to install due to small residual load capacity, transforming locations that were previously unbuildable into power plants.

By combining this with lifespan prediction technology that aids in the selection of items for reuse and recycling, we will provide technologies and products that contribute to the realization of a decarbonized and circular economy.

[Project Overview]

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Public Service Corporation are implementing the "New Energy Promotion Technology Development Support Program" to promote decarbonization in Tokyo, foster industry in Tokyo, and establish a stable and economically rational energy system, which is the foundation for further economic growth, with the aim of realizing "Zero Emission Tokyo" in 2050. This program promotes research, technology development, demonstration, and implementation of energy (hereinafter referred to as "new energy") and systems, products, and services that contribute to the utilization and dissemination of such energy, which are expected to be widely adopted in society in the near future.

The main outline of the program is as follows:

○ Subsidized Projects

Research, technology development, demonstration, implementation, and other initiatives related to new energy and systems, products, and services that contribute to the utilization and dissemination of such energy.

○ Subsidy Period

Up to 5 years from the date of grant decision.

○ Eligible Applicants

Corporate groups composed of two or more entities, including large and small and medium-sized enterprises in Tokyo.

○ Subsidy Amount and Rate

Subsidy Amount: Up to 3 billion yen per group (minimum total project cost of 1 billion yen required for application)

Subsidy Rate: Up to two-thirds of eligible expenses.
