Japan Solar Energy Society

About us

We promote the use of renewable energy such as wind power and biomass, including solar energy, as well as the promotion and dissemination of science and technology from the basics to applications related to building a sustainable society.
The main technical fields covered by the Society are:
- Meteorology/global environment (solar radiation, weather, urban climate, etc.)
- Solar heat utilization (light/heat collection, thermal power generation/thermal energy conversion, heat storage/thermochemistry, etc.)
- Photovoltaic power generation (cells/modules, power generation systems, application systems, etc.)
- Fluid energy (wind power, water power, wave power, tidal power, etc.)
- Biomass (agriculture, forestry and fisheries, energy production, materials, energy utilization, environment/waste treatment, etc.)
- Architecture (ZEB/ZEH, energy-saving/creating architecture, lighting/ventilation/natural ventilation, environmental symbiosis/comfort, etc.)
- Materials/elements (desiccant/moisture absorption, insulation/heat shielding materials, heat exchange/thermoelectric conversion elements, etc.)
- Photochemistry (photochemical power generation, artificial photosynthesis, photocatalysis, environmental purification, etc.)
- Electrochemistry (storage batteries, production and storage of energy molecules, fuel cells, etc.)
- Energy system (power system interconnection/operation, market/system design, smart energy, etc.)
- Transportation (next-generation automobiles/railways, ships/aircraft (fluid resistance), energy supply facilities, etc.)
- Education/policy/society (education/safety, policy/sustainability, social acceptability, etc.)
