Going forward, the plan is to launch the first energy storage station around fiscal 2025, and then proceed with the development and operation of energy storage stations one after another. ITOCHU has developed a product lineup that meets market needs, from home storage batteries to large-scale energy storage systems for industrial and grid use.
These are the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo prefectural subsidies. There are a series of requirements to be eligible: projects must have a minimum capacity of 1 MW, the battery must be able to participate in various markets, and the battery must be directly connected to the grid. The Market for Energy Storage
A Growing Need for Energy Storage The increasing generation of renewables on the Japanese grid has led to various support policies and CAPEX subsidy schemes to support the deployment of grid-scale Battery Energy Storage (BESS).
Japan's first fund dedicated to grid storage batteries begins full-scale operation Raised over 8 billion yen from 11 public and private investors Norbert Gehrke Oct 02, 2024 Share this post Japan Startup Observer Japan's first fund dedicated to grid storage batteries begins full-scale operation Copy link Facebook Email Notes More Share
Increased generation of renewables requires various forms of energy storage to manage the issues associated with intermittency. Japan has, therefore, introduced two CAPEX subsidy schemes for grid-scale battery developers, excluding co-located projects.
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.
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.
