Infinite energy from the sun

The Sun is the source of all life. Solar power generation technologies harness infinite energy from the Sun, as the electric power generation process does not emit greenhouse gases. JRE operates more than 40 solar power plants both inside and outside Japan.

Mechanism of solar power generation

Mechanism of solar power generation

Solar power is generated by a solar panel that is exposed to sunlight. It comprises numerous interconnected solar cells that directly convert energy from absorbed sunlight into electricity. Solar cells are made of silicon or other semiconductors that generate electricity proportionally to the intensity of incoming sunlight.

Features of solar power generation

Features of solar power generation

  • ・ Because there is infinite sunlight, there are no fuel costs.
  • ・ It generates clean energy without emitting greenhouse gases during power generation.
  • ・ Almost no noise is produced during power generation.

Solar power is not generated during nighttime and the power output varies depending on the weather. As such, solar power is combined with other power sources and battery technologies to power your life.
