Cool Intelligence Partners with Apollo Power

In a significant move towards sustainable energy solutions, Cool Intelligence Co., Ltd. has announced the debut of ultra-lightweight solar panels in the Japanese market, sourced from Israeli company Apollo Power. This innovative product is designed specifically for buildings with roof weight limitations, making it a timely solution in light of Japan's upcoming mandatory solar installation regulations for certain commercial facilities by 2026.

The lightweight characteristics of the Apollo flexible solar panels, weighing only 2.9 kg per square meter (approximately one-sixth the weight of traditional glass panels), open new possibilities for installations on aging buildings and structures that were previously deemed unsuitable for solar energy systems. These panels are not only flexible but also durable, allowing them to adapt to curved surfaces or unconventional structures, thus enabling the installation of solar systems in facilities that have long faced challenges in deploying traditional solar technology.

During the upcoming SMART ENERGY WEEK 2025 from September 17 to 19 at Makuhari Messe, Cool Intelligence will showcase these panels for the first time in Japan, offering live demonstrations to interested businesses and stakeholders. This event aims to highlight the advantages of the Apollo Power solar panels, showcasing their installation flexibility and lightweight design, suitable especially for buildings that are otherwise limited by structural requirements.

Regulatory Shift and Market Need

In line with Japan's commitment to achieving a decarbonized society, the government is fostering a new policy that mandates the installation of solar panels on roofs of larger factories, stores, and public buildings. This requirement is expected to include approximately 12,000 establishments that consume over 1,500 kiloliters of energy annually. As companies grapple with rising energy costs, the demand for self-consumption solar solutions is climbing rapidly.

The advent of lightweight solar panels like those from Apollo Power is a timely response to these needs. For construction firms and private businesses that have been turned away from solar energy due to building codes and structural restrictions, these ultra-light panels represent a critical bridge technology, allowing immediate access to renewable energy solutions while awaiting wider adoption of next-generation technologies like perovskite solar panels.

Advantages of Apollo Power Solar Panels

The unique selling points of the Apollo Flexible Solar panels are manifold:

• - Weight: At just 2.9 kg/m², they significantly reduce the stress on existing structures, allowing them to be fitted on roofs where conventional panels fail.
• - Flexibility: Their adaptability to various architectural designs makes them suitable for factories and warehouses with non-standard roofs.
• - Speed of Installation: The lightness enables quicker installation times and improves safety on the job site compared to heavier panels.

In these ways, the innovative design of Apollo’s solar panels aligns seamlessly with current market demands while paving the way for enhanced sustainability in energy usage across Japan.

Looking Ahead

Cool Intelligence aims to significantly expand the types of structures that can host solar energy systems through this collaboration with Apollo Power. By introducing these ultra-light panels, the company hopes to eliminate previous barriers and enhance the integration of solar energy into a broader range of facilities, including temporary buildings and aging infrastructure.

The push for solar energy adoption is not just a response to regulatory requirements; it is also a pivotal step toward achieving energy independence and aiding efforts to meet climate targets. With support from innovative companies like Apollo Power, Japan can look forward to a cleaner, sustainable energy future.

Event Participation

Should you wish to explore the potential of these innovative solar energy solutions, make sure to visit Cool Intelligence's booth (E19-29) at SMART ENERGY WEEK 2025. The exhibition will be a notable gathering for energy professionals, showcasing advancements in solar technology and renewable energy practices.

In conclusion, Cool Intelligence is committed to leveraging these novel solar energy solutions to address the energy needs of businesses across Japan, contributing positively to the environment and aligning with national sustainability goals.
