About HESTA Okura

Since its establishment in 1962, HESTA Okura has played a significant role in new town developments, custom housing sales, and construction and renovation projects, providing homes for over 120,000 families. The company is advancing its smart house business utilizing AI and IoT technologies. In April 2023, it adopted the name HESTA Okura and plans to sell and install its new lightweight, flexible HESTA Solar panels starting in 2024.

The name "HESTA" is derived from Hestia, the Greek goddess revered as the protector of domestic life. With a vision to be a guardian like the goddess, HESTA Okura continues to introduce IoT home services that incorporate health and energy solutions, emphasizing convenience and peace of mind.

HESTA Solar Overview

One of the innovative products is the HESTA Solar panel, notable for being significantly lighter—up to 80% lighter than traditional glass panels—with a minimal thickness of only 3mm. The flexibility of these solar panels allows installations on roofs while maintaining earthquake resistance and can be used on walls and curved carport roofs. In densely populated Japan, where energy issues are pressing, the promotion of solar energy in urban areas is vital to combating global warming. Since the product launch in 2024, there has been an increasing demand for HESTA Solar in major cities like Tokyo. This system not only helps mitigate rising electricity costs but also serves as an emergency power source during disasters.
