Patent Acquisition for 'UP-Stand'

Upsolar Japan Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is pleased to announce that it has successfully registered a patent for its vertical solar racking system, the 'UP-Stand'. This innovative technology enables stable installation and practical power generation even in challenging environments such as limited installation spaces and areas with heavy snowfall.

Patent Overview

• - Patent Number: 7779594
• - Registration Date: November 25, 2025
• - Invention Title: Solar Power Generation Device

Features of UP-Stand Technology

The 'UP-Stand' implements a structure designed to mount solar modules vertically. The technical characteristics that lead to its patent approval include several notable aspects:

• - A rack structure that ensures high stability, even in vertical installations.
• - A design that minimizes the influence of snow load.
• - The flexibility of installation for various uses, such as agricultural land, parking lots, and fencing.
• - An arrangement that facilitates maintenance and inspection operations.

This structure allows installations in locations that previously posed challenges for solar power systems, such as farmland, idle land, heavy snowfall areas, and spaces around buildings.

Future Developments

The first project utilizing the vertical solar racking system 'UP-Stand' is scheduled for completion in December 2025. After project completion, operational performance will be reviewed, and a detailed presentation will occur early next year. Currently, numerous proposals and discussions about implementing UP-Stand are underway across the country.

With the acquisition of this patent, Upsolar Japan intends to accelerate various initiatives, including:

• - Expansion of vertical solar projects targeted at snowy regions and small sites.
• - Development of standard design packages adaptable for various applications such as agricultural land, ranches, parking lots, and industrial complexes.
• - Innovative value propositions by integrating vertical solar solutions with flat-roof solar installations and energy storage systems, including EV charging facilities.

Value Proposition of UP-Stand

1. Facilitating Solar Power in Land-Restricted Areas: By utilizing vertical installations, the spatial footprint is minimized, enabling solar power systems to be deployed in previously challenging locations, such as narrow plots or areas near parking lots.
2. Shifting Power Generation Peaks to High-Value Timeframes: By installing double-sided panels oriented east and west, peak production is distributed to morning and evening, ensuring generation during high-market price hours, thereby emphasizing both volume and value in energy production.
3. Lowering Barriers for Installation in Snow-Prone Areas: Vertical installations reduce the accumulation of snow on the panels, mitigating risks of collapse due to snow load and preventing declines in power generation.
4. Supporting Diverse Usage Scenarios: The structure allows easy integration of sunlight conditions and operational workflows, making it suitable for applications such as agricultural solar power generation, ranches, parking lot fences, and boundary equipment—enabling multifunctional facilities.
