Commencement of Japan’s First Demonstration Test of Perovskite Solar Cells Installed on Exterior Walls of Buildings
SEKISUI CHEMICAL will commence Japan’s first demonstration test of film-type perovskite solar cells installed on the exterior walls of buildings together with NTT DATA Corporation in April 2023. The test will begin with installation on a small area of exterior walls at the SEKISUI CHEMICAL Research & Development Institute to identify potential issues. The cells will then be installed on exterior walls at the NTT Shinagawa TWINS DATA Tower for the demonstration test. The companies will tackle matters such as establishing a method for installing solar cell modules on the exterior walls of existing buildings and confirming power generation efficiency on vertical surfaces. Going forward, SEKISUI CHEMICAL will contribute to decarbonization by installing perovskite solar cells on existing buildings in urban centers, including NTT DATA’s data centers and offices.

Commencement of Joint Research on Film-type Perovskite Solar Cells with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government
As climate change is becoming a global issue and renewable energy expansion is required to create a sustainable society, installation site limitations for silicon solar cells due to weight and other factors have become an issue. Film-type perovskite solar cells are a next-generation type of solar cell that are lightweight and flexible, enabling installation at various sites, such as building walls, roofs with limited load bearing, or curved surfaces. Film-type perovskite solar cells will be installed at the Morigasaki Water Reclamation Center by spring 2023, the power generation amount will be monitored, and durability against corrosion will be checked, and thus will examine the viability of installing them at sewage facilities.
History
SEKISUI INC., the predecessor of SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD., was founded on March 3, 1947 by the younger generation of Nicchitsu Konzern – the then core company of the general chemical manufacturers in Japan.
