Solar Power's Second Boom

TOKYO, Jul 16 (News On Japan) - The surge in electricity costs has reignited interest in solar power, with some households reducing their monthly electricity bills to as low as 600 yen by using solar panels and battery storage.

For example, Nariya Miyake from Chiba Prefecture keeps his air conditioning on 24/7 and still maintains a low electricity bill thanks to this combination.

Solar power is experiencing a 'second boom,' driven by high electricity costs and the use of the generated power rather than selling it. This trend is supported by increased quote requests for solar installations and government subsidies, particularly in Tokyo.
