Technical FAQs 4

What is Japan doing with piezoelectric floor tiles?

Japan’s pioneering work with piezoelectric floor tiles at Tokyo stations represents just one piece of a global movement to harvest energy from human movement.

What percentage of Tokyo's rooftops are solar?

Also speaking at World Smart Energy Week, Kazumi Arai, system coordination manager for Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) noted that while an estimated 70% of greenhouse gas emissions in Tokyo come from buildings, just 4.24% of the city’s rooftops currently have solar installed.

How many solar panels are there in Tokyo?

The capital has around 2.67 million buildings and houses, but only 4 percent, or around 100,000, have solar panels. Mega solar installations boasting gigantic panels with a capacity of 1,000 kilowatts or more are also rare in Tokyo, where there are not many open spaces.

What does Tokyo's new SOLAR rule mean for a house builder?

In Tokyo, the new rule will place an obligation on large house builders – those with projects covering more than 20,000 m² per year – to add solar to new houses and other buildings with less than 2,000 m² floor space.
