On 18 June, Peak Energy took part in the Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition, one of the key events driving discussions on Japan’s energy transition and decarbonization strategy. Our CEO Gavin Adda shared powerful insights on how distributed solar generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS) are reshaping the future of renewable energy in Japan.

“Distributed solar generation presents unique opportunities for Japan — enhancing energy security by reducing dependence on imported fuels, lowering electricity costs for end-users, and enabling faster deployment: rooftop C&I systems can deliver power in just 3-6 months, while high-voltage projects take 12-24 months. And by combining solar with batteries, we can increasingly provide clean power at night too,” Gavin explained.

He highlighted a game-changing milestone for Japanese corporates:
“It’s incredible to see that solar costs have dropped to the point where customers can achieve over 40% savings versus grid electricity with onsite solar. Even more exciting is that solar plus battery storage can now deliver power cheaper than the spot market — at night! This truly is the holy grail the renewable energy sector has been pursuing for two decades.”

As Japan advances towards a net-zero economy, Peak Energy stands ready to support industrial and commercial clients with fast, reliable, and cost-effective solar + battery solutions that enable real progress on sustainability goals.
