JPEA (Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association)Since 1987, JPEA (Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association) has been striving for the promotion of PV and the growth of the business. JPEA membership consists of a wide range of 139 companies and organizations (As of Sep. 30, 2016) concerning PV business, including cell and module manufacturers, general contractors, distributors, electricity, public utility corporation, etc.

Shusaku NagaeChairman, JPEA (Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association)

Japan’s Photovoltaic (PV) energy market, which has been growing rapidly since the nation launched the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FIT Scheme) in 2012, is just about to enter a new penetration stage due to the Revised FIT Act as well as the Japanese government’s Electricity System Reform initiative.

Moreover, at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), member states agreed to conclude the Paris Agreement, meaning that the international community has taken a major step forward towards de-carbonization via renewable energy sources. In these circumstances, Photovoltaic energy, a precious purely-domestic energy source, will continue to grow further in importance.　

PVJapan2017 to be organized by the Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA) will provide exhibitors with excellent business matching opportunities. Moreover, their highly unique exhibits will likely provide not only industry professionals but also the many ordinary citizens with a great opportunity to understand the bright future and the promise of Photovoltaic energy.

We at JPEA very much hope many companies and organizations will participate in PVJapan2017 as exhibitors.

Exhibition organized by JPEA, a PV energy business operators’ association and a penetration promotorAs a Japanese leading Photovoltaic energy exhibition, PVJapan2017 enables exhibitors to widely publicize the latest progress of PV related technologies and the potential business models.

Exhibition providing excellent business matching opportunitiesPVJapan attracts many visitors who have a strong sense of purpose, so exhibitors can use this event as excellent business matching opportunities. The PVJapan venue is so compact that visitors can visit all the exhibits in a day because the exhibition and the seminar sites are located close each other. The exhibitors can easily guide guests to their booth and let them spend enough time there.

Valuable exhibition which many key PV players participate in.Many companies who are considered as key players in PV industry exhibit every year. It is a great opportunity for you to promote your corporate brand image.

It is a disservice to view PACIFICO Yokohama as a distant place with poor access.With the Minatomirai Line having been opened, this venue can be reached in a little more than 30 minutes from major train stations such as the Tokyo and Shibuya Stations. Access to PACIFICO Yokohama is good enough in terms of time requirements, access frequency and diversity of routes from a wide range of areas.The location of PACIFICO Yokohama, close to Tokyo International Airport and Shinyokohama Station, is convenient for day-trip visitors from the Kinki and Chukyo areas. This venue provides a good environment for participants to engage in business communication in connection with the exhibition, coupled with the diverse post-convention resources available in spots such as Yokohama Chinatown.
