Abstract
Recently, global warming has become a serious problem. For Japan in the world's highest level is already energy efficient, the shift from fossil fuels account for the majority of energy is required for promoting greater energy non-fossil. Then, this study is intended to examine possible measures to aggressively promote new energy. Although solar thermal energy is one of the most effective green technology to reduce GHG emission today, number of installation in Japan has been declining as well as its market shrinking causing withdrawal of manufacturer from the division. On the other hand, installation of such equipments in abroad has been growing which tightened competition resulting in improvements of cost performance and technology, and eventually price-reduction. Thus, we have completed verification test of foreign-made solar heat panels and examined its usage, economic impact and influence of installation in order to stimulate domestic market of solar heat panel.
