The 21st century is the era of environment and energy. FUTURE-PV laboratory is developing photovoltaic power generation system technology. In order to introduce 10 TW of photovoltaic power generation system in the world by 2050, we aim to develop technology to realize a generation cost of 7 yen / kWh or less. In order to achieve this research goal, we are developing technologies such as semiconductor device technology, nanotechnology for microfabrication, physical phenomena in microscopic fields such as quantum effects, and outdoor power generation characteristics. In addition to general power applications, we are also developing applications to transportation systems and solar cells as independent power sources for IoT equipment.
