According to the revision of the Low-Voltage Grid Interconnection Regulations in April 2024 in Japan, three-phase PV inverters used in low-voltage interconnection projects (including deemed low-voltage interconnection) must be compatible with the new active method “frequency feedback method with step injection (STEP3.2).
The subsidy covers up to 2 billion yen per project. A total of 12 projects totaling 180MW/595.3MWh was awarded 13 billion yen through Tokyo’s FY2024 subsidy for promoting grid-scale battery storage, the metropolitan government’s document released in February 2025 shows.
The online version of the Kensetsu Shinbun, the newspaper for the Japanese construction sector, offers a variety of information services regarding construction related procurement. The website has sections for calls for tender, but also announcements for upcoming tenders. The extent of their coverage of procuring entities is not clear.
As Japan works to expand battery storage amid growing solar and wind capacity, METI also runs a similar subsidy scheme at the national level. In FY2024, it awarded 34.6 billion yen to 27 projects. Both programs are expected to continue in FY2025.
Tokyo Century was the only company to receive funding for two projects as the main applicant. Geographically, three of the projects will be built in Ibaraki Prefecture, two in Kanagawa, Chiba, and Tochigi each, and one in Tokyo, Saitama, and Gunma each.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
