6 FAQs about [Solar photovoltaic power generation in Japan and South Korea]

What is the solar PV market in South Korea?

According to GlobalData, solar PV accounted for 18% of South Korea’s total installed power generation capacity and 6% of total power generation in 2023. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of this market in its South Korea Solar PV Analysis: Market Outlook to 2035 report. Buy the report here.

Will expanding South Korea's solar PV industry help secure global competitiveness?

outh Korea’s PV industry in various value chain sectors. Notwithstanding high levels of technological expertise, the polysilicon and wafer sect rs in South Korea’s domestic PV industry have collapsed. Some hope that expanding South Korea’s solar PV market will help secure global competitiveness for domestic cell and module manufacturers, but

Why are solar panels becoming more popular in Korea?

PV in buildings is getting more and more interest in urban areas, and recent zero-energy building mandates put more pressure on building owners to install more PVs in the building. Floating PV on the lakes and dams is also getting popular in Korea (with the potential of ~10 GW).

Is Japan's solar photovoltaic industry on a downward trend?

The competitiveness of Japan’s solar photovoltaic industry in all aspects is on a downward trend, leading to a year-on-year decline in its international competitiveness in solar energy.

Who manufactures industrial PV systems in Japan?

They are manufactured by such manufacturers as Neguros Denko and Okuji Kensan, who are exclusively engaged in this field. As the demand for industrial PV systems has increased rapidly, overseas manufacturers such as POWERWAY of China have entered the Japanese market, in addition to domestic manufacturers.

Can Japan regain competitiveness in the development of solar photovoltaic cells?

Of course, Japan, as a highly industrialized economy with high labor costs, can hardly regain competitiveness in the development of solar photovoltaic cells. After all, it has a clear structural disadvantage compared to other countries with low labor costs, such as Southeast Asia.
