Industrial and residential sectors in Japan are expanding the use of renewable energy and storage technologies. Murata Manufacturing Group has implemented solar carport systems at several facilities, such as the Wakura plant, to increase renewable energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. Concurrently, the automotive supply chain, including the Toyota and Panasonic joint venture Prime Planet Energy & Solutions, is developing specialized high-power and high-capacity batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Building on these developments, energy storage providers are introducing new hardware. Elie Power Co., Ltd. announced a new 10.7kWh battery unit for its Vehicle-to-Home compatible residential storage series, designed to increase capacity and support solar power self-consumption.
