For a house dating back to the Edo period,installing the PV+ESS system has been a great decision.The system significantly reduces electricity bills and is easy to install.The lighting system is new,but the warm feeling of home remains unchanged.A home with stable electricity is like our roots. With deep roots, we stand unshaken by storms.

Nakajima Takafumi Chairman of KUMAMURA Shindenryoku Inc.

Emergency power supplies are essential in case of outages,which is why installing the PV+ESS system is so important.In popular tourist spots like Kyusendo Cave,electricity demand is high.We need products that meet strict safety standards to ensure that during sudden power outages,we can safely and quickly evacuate people. This gives tourists peace of mind during their visits.

From the village office, seniors' center, and school,to the hot spring resort and wood processing plant,PV installations are now everywhere in Kuma Village. This village is accelerating decarbonization and improving its resilience against disasters.As the benefits of green energy reach everyone,more young people are choosing to move here.

Solar power now accounts for about 30% to 40% of the timber mill's electricity consumption.Some of the electricity is used directly during the day,while the rest is stored in batteries for use at night.
