Around Japan, competition is intensifying on the research and development front. Major petroleum distributor ENEOS is developing transparent solar cells using organic materials to generate electricity from infrared and ultraviolet light. Building materials giant YKK AP is aiming to create building materials that integrate solar cells.
The photovoltaic cells will be manufactured in Japan and the glass will be manufactured with cooperation from local partners. I hope that we can spread our photovoltaic power generation glass to many countries.” Advanced glass developed in Japan may come to change the windows and walls of the world.
"Even with just a 1% efficiency, installing solar panels on windows across Japan would lead to an annual reduction of 17 million tons of carbon dioxide," Sakamoto notes. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has plans to install lightweight and flexible perovskite solar cells on the exterior of a 230-meter skyscraper in Tokyo.
The country is already a leader in bioplastics and hydrogen energy, and in 2009, it was a Japanese university research team that found that certain crystalline minerals called perovskites are photovoltaic, converting light into a voltage, opening the door to new types of transparent solar cells (pictured above).
