Materials and simulation examples provided for solar panel installation

At Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., in addition to “estimates”, “layout diagrams”, and “power generation simulations”, we also provide a “solar installation guidebook” and a “financial simulation” that takes loan interest rates and electricity costs into account.
The financial simulation can be created for projected cumulative income and expenses over 20 to 30 years.
We compile easy-to-understand materials that include important points and disadvantages for customers who may not be familiar with solar installations!

We encourage you to obtain comparative estimates and review plans from other companies!

Roof Inspection Before Installing Solar Panels

Once solar panels are installed, they will remain on the roof for 20 to 30 years.
Confirming “whether it is okay to install them directly on the current roof” before installation is the key point to prevent leaks and unnecessary expenses!
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd., which specializes in roofing work, has summarized the items to check before installation.

1. Type of roofing material and age The method of securing varies depending on the roofing material, such as slate, tiles, metal roofs, or flat roofs (roof waterproofing). If the remaining lifespan of the roofing material is short, we may suggest a roof renovation first.
2. Condition of the substrate and waterproof sheet If the sheathing or roofing (waterproof sheet) beneath the roofing material is damaged, it can affect the fastening strength and waterproofing. We also check for any signs of leaks.
3. Orientation, slope, and shadows of the roof The orientation and slope of the roof surface, as well as shadows from neighboring houses, trees, and utility poles, can affect power generation. We create a layout diagram from the drawings and the site, and you can confirm it with the power generation simulation.
4. Shape of the roof and installable area The number of panels (installation capacity) that can be placed depends on the shape and size of the roof. The number of panels that can be installed varies depending on the size of the panels, so we compare based on the total output of the roof.
5. Fixing method and waterproofing details We check whether the method involves drilling holes in the roofing material for fastening or using brackets to secure the roofing material. The fixing method varies by technique, so please confirm the waterproofing treatment method for the fixed parts during the estimate.
6. Weight of the roof The roof will become heavier due to the panels. After investigating the existing roof, substrate, and load-bearing capacity, replacing with lighter roofing materials may also be an option if necessary.
7. Location of equipment installation and wiring We confirm the installation locations for the power conditioner and storage battery, as well as the wiring route to the distribution board. The length of the wiring also affects costs.

Fixing Methods and Checkpoints by Roofing Material

Roof Material Main Fixing Method Pre-installation Check Points
Slate Roof Varies by method (e.g., fixing brackets to the roof material and substrate with screws) Waterproof treatment of fixing parts, cracks or deterioration of slate, condition of the substrate. If deterioration is advanced, consider roof overlay (cover method) or replacement first.
Tile Roof Fixed with brackets and methods suitable for the type of tile (even methods that do not drill holes in the tiles will secure to the substrate) Type and condition of tiles, substrate, load-bearing capacity. Depending on the investigation results, there may be methods to replace with lighter roofing materials before installation.
Metal Roof (Horizontal and Vertical) Fixed with catch-type brackets that grip the roof material (depends on the combination of roof material and brackets) Whether the roof material and brackets are compatible, installation conditions from the roof material manufacturer. If compatible, methods that do not drill holes may be available.
Flat Roof / Rooftop Fixed by installing a frame Type and deterioration status of the waterproof layer, waterproofing around the frame. Consider in conjunction with the timing of waterproofing work.
If you carry out roof renovations at the same time, you may be able to reduce future costs for the removal and reinstallation of solar panels!
If you perform roof renovations 10 to 20 years after installation, there will be additional costs for the removal and reinstallation of solar panels. If the roof is deteriorating, renovating to a highly durable roofing material before installation may help reduce costs in the long run.
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. specializes in roofing work and can also handle the removal and reinstallation of solar panels in-house, so please consult us according to the condition of your roof!

Estimate guidance

Breakdown of Installation Capacity, Equipment, and Construction Costs

The costs for solar panels and storage batteries should be confirmed by separating “equipment costs (device costs)” and “construction costs”.
Even for the same “solar panel installation set,” the amount can vary significantly depending on the installation capacity, equipment grade, and roof condition.

Considerations for Installation Capacity (kW) and Storage Battery Capacity (kWh)

The installation capacity of solar panels is determined by “output of one panel (W) × number of panels”, with the unit being kW (kilowatts). Storage batteries are compared in terms of the amount of electricity they can store, expressed in kWh (kilowatt-hours).
The amount of kW that can be placed on the roof varies for each house depending on the roof shape, orientation, and size. At Kakeru Koumuten, we create layout diagrams from blueprints and on-site surveys to present the installation capacity.

On our pricing page, we list solar panels at approximately 800,000 JPY to 1,200,000 JPY for 3 to 5 kW, and 1,200,000 JPY to 1,900,000 JPY for 6 to 10 kW. (These are just approximate amounts and can vary based on wiring length, scaffolding range, existing roofing materials, panel layout, etc.)
▶ Installation Menu | Click here for costs of solar panel and storage battery installation

Items to Confirm in the Estimate (Cost Confirmation)

When comparing estimates, it is common to compare different capacities and equipment just by looking at the amounts. Please check if the following items are clearly stated in each company’s estimate!

1. Solar Panels Manufacturer, model number, output of one panel (W), number of panels, total installation capacity (kW) are listed.
2. Power Conditioner Manufacturer, model number, capacity, number of units, installation location (indoor/outdoor). Also check if it is a type that controls in conjunction with the storage battery.
3. Storage Battery Manufacturer, model number, capacity (kWh), range usable during power outages (entire house or specific circuits), installation location.
4. Mounting Frame and Hardware Name of hardware suitable for roofing materials and method of securing (whether it is a method that drills holes or a method that clamps and secures).
5. Wiring and Electrical Work Wiring route and length, construction around the distribution board, presence of a monitor to check power generation.
6. Roof Reinforcement and Waterproofing Details of waterproofing treatment for fixed parts, whether necessary roof repairs and substrate reinforcements are included.
7. Applications Extent of support for applications to the power company, certification application for selling electricity (FIT), and subsidy applications.
8. Scaffolding Scope and quantity of scaffolding. If it is simultaneous with roof work or exterior painting, check that the same scope and quantity are not double-counted.
9. Removal and Disposal Whether the removal of existing solar thermal water heaters or old panels and disposal costs for waste materials are included.
10. Tax Classification and Warranty Whether it is tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive, conditions under which additional costs may arise, and details and duration of manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Tips for Comparison: Let’s compare by aligning the “Installation Capacity (kW)” and “Equipment Model Number”!
If the capacity differs, both the price and the power generation will change. Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. welcome price comparisons, so if you bring estimates from other companies, we can explain the differences item by item!

By confirming the above 4 points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.

Which Solar Power Installation Company is Best? Introducing How to Choose Without Regret!When considering the introduction of solar power generation, the mos...

Have knowledge not only about solar panels but also about roofs

Defective installation of solar panels can sometimes be caused by a lack of knowledge and confirmation regarding roofs and waterproofing.
While knowledge about solar panels is certainly important, understanding the roof and waterproofing at the installation site of the solar panels is also crucial.

⚠︎Examples of troubles due to insufficient checks on roofs and waterproofing

・Solar panels were installed on a severely deteriorated roof, leading to leaks
・Solar panels were installed on a roof with a short lifespan, requiring renovations to detach and reattach the solar panels within a few years
・Misjudgment of the type of waterproofing led to incorrect processing and resulted in leaks
and more

When installing solar panels, understanding the condition and type of the existing roof allows you to avoid unnecessary expenses and unforeseen troubles.

▶ Go to “Roof Check Before Installing Solar Panels” in this article

Confirm the existence of warranties and aftercare maintenance

When choosing a solar installation contractor, let’s confirm the existence of warranties. It is important to check not only the duration of the warranty but also the coverage, exclusions, and cost conditions.

While the solar panels and battery storage units come with manufacturer warranties, also check for the existence of workmanship warranties in case leaks occur after installation!

For contractors that offer workmanship warranties, if leaks occur after installation, they may be able to respond under the warranty, provided it is within the warranty period and conditions.

Additionally, some contractors offer after-sales service separate from warranties, so be sure to check if the contractor you are considering has after-sales service.
Changes or damages on the roof can occur in areas that are not visible, so you may not notice them yourself.
By conducting inspections during after-sales maintenance, you can easily detect issues early, preventing larger repairs or failures!

Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. provides a rain leak warranty as part of the workmanship warranty for solar panel installations. (The warranty for solar panel installations is 10 years, and depending on the condition of the roof before installation, a roof renovation may be required to provide the warranty.)
We also conduct after-sales maintenance and send out DM every year!
Please check the DM, and if you wish, we will visit for after-sales maintenance!

About Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. WarrantyKakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. provides a simple explanation of our roof construction, exterior wall painting, and sealing work guarantees!! We do not require any advance or interim payments!!...

Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (3 companies as a guideline)

When requesting the installation of solar panels, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.

Even for the same manufacturer and the same construction content, costs may vary, as well as warranties and after-sales services.

Additionally, obtaining multiple estimates makes it easier to negotiate prices.

To request from your desired contractor at a lower price, we recommend obtaining estimates from multiple contractors.

When comparing estimates, please check the following:

“Check the items in the estimate”
“Type of solar panel”
“Warranties and after-sales services”

Make sure to compare these details carefully! If the quality of the auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid making decisions based solely on price!

Check if they provide support for subsidy applications

There may be subsidies available for solar panel installations and battery installations, but if the order of procedures is incorrect or if there are deficiencies in the documents, the subsidy may not be granted.
There are systems that require personal applications and cannot be submitted by the contractor, as well as systems that require prior application before installation, so it is reassuring to have a contractor who can support you with the preparation of necessary documents and the flow of procedures.
Complete the procedures specified for each system (for Tokyo subsidies, a prior application before installation is required) before proceeding with the construction!

In the case of subsidies in Tokyo, the process involves submitting a grant application and performance report after the completion of the work, which will then be reviewed before the grant is awarded! (The procedure may vary depending on the system.)

Benefits of Introducing Solar Power Equipment

The benefits of introducing solar panels are summarized in the following five points!

Benefit 1: Economic Advantage

Household Budget Illustration

The biggest advantage of introducing solar panels is the economic benefit!
Although the selling price of electricity has decreased compared to ten years ago, you can benefit by reducing the amount of electricity purchased from the utility company by consuming the generated power yourself!
As electricity costs rise, the ability to cover your consumption with solar power becomes increasingly attractive!
If you plan to use the generated power at night, the installation of a storage battery is essential!

Furthermore, the selling price (FIT) for residential use (under 10kW) will be set at “24 yen/kWh for the first four years, and 8.3 yen/kWh from the fifth to the tenth year” for certifications after October 2025, and the same price will apply for the 2026 fiscal year. After the fifth year, it is generally more advantageous to use the power at home (self-consumption), making the combination with a storage battery a viable option.
👉 Ministry of the Environment | For purchase prices, periods, etc., click here

Benefit 2: Subsidies Can Be Utilized!

Illustration of a person happy about reduced costs

The conditions and amounts of subsidies vary by prefecture and municipality, but if you meet the criteria, you may be able to utilize subsidies!
Reducing the actual burden amount through subsidies is a significant advantage!
In the case of Fuchu City, there may be national and Tokyo metropolitan government programs available (the Eco House Equipment Installation Subsidy for Fuchu City has ended for the 2026 fiscal year).

Benefit 3: Environmentally Friendly!

Environmentally friendly solar power illustration

Solar power generation has low carbon dioxide emissions and reduces dependence on fossil fuels, contributing to the mitigation of global warming.
Solar panels themselves do not produce noise or exhaust gases during the generation process, making them an environmentally friendly method of power generation. (However, devices such as power conditioners may produce operational noise.)

Benefit 4: Heat Insulation Effects Can Be Expected!!

Illustration of heat insulation using solar panels

By installing the panels on the roof or rooftop, they block direct sunlight from hitting the roof.
Especially in summer, it can help reduce the temperature rise of the roof, providing expected heat insulation effects!
(Note that this does not improve the insulation performance of the building itself.)

Benefit 5: Electricity can be used even during power outages!!

Illustration of a house that can use electricity during a power outage

If a storage battery is installed, it becomes possible to use electricity even during emergencies like power outages!
Even without a storage battery, if you have a power conditioner with autonomous operation capability, you may be able to use electricity from a dedicated outlet during daytime generation.
(Note that the devices, output, and duration that can be used during a power outage vary depending on the model and wiring method.)

What are the Benefits of Installing Solar Panels? An Explanation of the Surprisingly Unknown Disadvantages!In recent years, due to rising electricity costs, increased environm...

What points should be noted when introducing solar power generation?

Next, we will explain the “three points to note” when installing solar panels!

Person explaining points to note

Point 1: Maintenance costs can be incurred

A maintenance cost that is particularly easy to overlook is the roof where the solar panels are installed.
If you perform roof remodeling 10 to 20 years later, there will be costs for removing and reattaching the solar panels.
If the existing roof is deteriorated, it is reassuring to remodel it with durable roofing materials before installing solar panels!
Additionally, there will be costs for regular inspections of the equipment, repairs or replacements of the power conditioner, and updates due to the deterioration of the storage battery.

It would be reassuring to ask for a simulation that considers maintenance costs before introducing solar panels!

Point 2: The risk of leaks increases depending on the roofing material

The fixing methods for slate roofs and tile roofs vary by construction method, but in methods that fix hardware to the roofing material and substrate with screws, waterproofing of the fixed parts is crucial.
In methods that involve making holes in the roof, the risk of leaks inevitably arises.
Of course, we will ensure proper waterproofing, but if you are concerned about making holes, replacing the roofing material with a metal roof and fixing the solar panels using the catch method is also an option. (The catch method has compatibility conditions between the roofing material and hardware, and it cannot be used with all metal roofs.)

Note 3: The roof will become heavier

Since solar panels will be installed, the roof will become heavier. After investigating the existing roof, substrate, and load-bearing capacity, replacing it with a lighter roof may be one option if necessary.

How to Choose Solar Panels?

There are many manufacturers of solar panels, and their output and costs vary.
It is not simply a matter of “this manufacturer has the best solar panels”; it is important to choose solar panels that are suitable for your life plan and building!
Here are some points to consider when comparing solar panels!

Choosing Method 1: Compare based on total output of the roof

When installing solar panels on the roof, it is important to know how much power can be generated in a limited area, and it is always better to generate more power!

Solar panels come in various sizes and outputs depending on the manufacturer.
For example, a 350W output panel and a 400W output panel may seem that the one with higher output is better at first glance.
However, if the size of the panels does not fit well on the roof, there may be cases where “20 panels of 350W can be installed” and “15 panels of 400W can be installed,” leading to different numbers of panels that can be installed on the same roof due to size differences.

400W×15 panels = 6kW (total output of the roof)
350W×20 panels = 7kW (total output of the roof)
As shown above, even if the output of one panel is lower, the total output of the roof may be higher!

It is important to consider the total output of the roof rather than the output of a single panel!
*The above is a calculation of total output (kW). The actual power generation (kWh) will vary depending on conditions such as roof orientation, slope, and shading.

Choosing Method 2: Compare based on degradation rate of solar panels

Solar panels have a degradation rate, and their output gradually decreases over 10 years and 20 years.
The degree of output reduction after long-term use varies by product. The manufacturer’s output guarantee value is a standard figure for warranty purposes and does not indicate the actual degradation rate or power generation itself.
Choosing solar panels while considering the degradation rate, rather than just the initial output, will lead to a regret-free selection!

Choosing Method 3: Compare based on warranty period

There are several types of warranties for solar panels, including “output warranty,” “natural disaster warranty,” and “system warranty,” and the warranty periods vary by manufacturer.
Regarding the output warranty, some manufacturers offer a 30-year warranty while others provide a 10-year warranty, so it varies widely!
Since a longer warranty is generally better, let’s check the warranty periods and conditions of the manufacturers you are considering!

Frequently Asked Questions about Solar and Storage Battery Installation in Fuchu City

We have compiled frequently asked questions from customers considering the installation of solar panels and storage batteries in Fuchu City. (Tap to open the answers)

How much does it cost to install solar panels and storage batteries in Fuchu City, Tokyo?

The cost varies depending on the installation capacity, equipment, and roof condition. In the above construction example (solar panel 4.3kW + storage battery, completed in April 2025), it was 2.2 million yen to 2.3 million yen.

Guidelines for different capacities are published on the solar panel and storage battery installation pricing page. We will create a layout diagram based on the drawings and on-site survey and provide a free estimate!

Are there any subsidies available for solar and storage battery installation in Fuchu City?

As of October 7, 2026, Tokyo’s subsidies for solar power generation and storage batteries (Cool Net Tokyo) are accepting pre-applications. For storage batteries, only SII registered devices (registered products for Reiwa 8) are eligible from pre-applications made after October 1, 2026. The subsidy for eco-house equipment installation in Fuchu City (Reiwa 8) has reached its budget limit and is no longer accepting applications. The national DR household storage battery project has ended its public recruitment.

Since the application status may change, please check the subsidy and grant section and consult with us before signing a contract.

Can I apply for subsidies even after the construction is completed?

In many programs, procedures are required before construction. Tokyo’s subsidies require pre-application before installation, and if you install first, you will be ineligible. The procedures differ by program.

The order of procedures varies by program, so please confirm before signing a contract or starting construction.

Can solar panels be installed on a slate roof? I’m worried about leaks.

It is possible to install on a slate roof, but it is necessary to check the condition of the roofing material and substrate. The fixing method varies by construction method, and for methods that fix brackets to the roofing material or substrate, waterproofing treatment of the fixed parts is crucial.

Kakeru Koumuten is a specialized exterior renovation company strong in roofing work, so we will check the condition of the roof before installation and suggest methods such as roof overlay (cover method) or replacement if deterioration is advanced.

My roof is old. Should I do a roof renovation first?

It depends on the condition of the roof. If a roof renovation is needed after 10 to 20 years of installation, the cost for removing and reinstalling solar panels will be incurred separately. If the remaining lifespan of the roof is short, it may be more cost-effective to renovate with durable roofing materials before installation.

Please consult us on how to proceed with the installation after confirming the condition of the roof through a site survey!

Is it better to install a storage battery together with solar panels?

If you want to use the generated electricity at night or prepare for power outages, simultaneous installation is recommended. The selling price for electricity will be 8.3 yen/kWh after the fifth year, making it more advantageous to use it in your home rather than selling it.

Additionally, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s subsidy for storage batteries is designed for simultaneous installation with solar panels, but applications can also be made for storage batteries alone. You can compare “solar panels only” and “solar panels + storage battery” through a financial simulation.

How many kW can be installed on my roof? Is it okay for north-facing roofs or roofs with shadows?

The capacity that can be installed varies depending on the shape, orientation, and size of the roof. At Kakeru Koumuten, we create a layout diagram from the drawings and site survey, and provide you with the installation capacity and power generation simulation.

In Fuchu City, the way shadows are cast by surrounding buildings and trees varies from house to house. You can check the expected power generation through the power generation simulation.

How long will the construction period be?

In the above construction example (solar panels 4.3 kW + storage battery), it took about 3 days. The duration may vary if roof work is done simultaneously or depending on the roof shape and installation capacity.

Please note that additional time is required for applications for subsidies and power companies, so please consult us as soon as possible.

What is the current selling price (FIT)?

For residential use (under 10 kW), from the certification after October 2025, the first four years will be 24 yen/kWh, and from the fifth to the tenth year, it will be 8.3 yen/kWh, with the same price applied for the 2026 fiscal year.

The idea is to recover initial costs quickly during the first four years and then focus on self-consumption. Kakeru Koumuten provides a financial simulation that takes into account loan interest rates and electricity costs.

Can you handle maintenance and inspections after installation?

Yes, we can. Kakeru Koumuten sends out annual after-service maintenance notices via DM and visits customers who wish to have inspections. We can also clean solar panels with a special brush if the power generation decreases due to dirt.

It can be difficult to check areas on the roof by yourself, so please feel free to consult us if you have any concerns.

Can you renovate a roof that already has solar panels installed?

Yes, we can. Kakeru Koumuten can remove and reinstall solar panels in-house, allowing us to remove the panels, perform roof overlay (cover method) or re-roofing, and then reinstall them consistently. The removed panels can be stored in our own warehouse.

For costs, please refer to the solar panel removal and water heater removal pricing page.

Characteristics of Fuchu City, Tokyo, and Points for Solar Work

The official page of Fuchu City publishes hazard maps for water damage (flooding from the Tamagawa River and internal water flooding) and landslide hazards.
We have summarized the points to be careful about when installing solar panels and storage batteries in Fuchu City’s residential environment below. (Tap to open)

View the characteristics of Fuchu City, Tokyo, and points for solar work

■ Check the installation locations for storage batteries and power conditioners against the hazard map assumptions

The Flood Hazard Map of Fuchu City (updated April 2026) shows the range and depth of flooding that could occur due to the maximum expected rainfall, primarily focusing on the Tama River. A separate map for internal flooding (flooding caused by heavy rain exceeding the sewer system’s capacity) has also been created, covering areas such as the Nogawa and Sengawa river basins. Additionally, the Landslide Hazard Map has been prepared for regions designated as landslide disaster warning areas (some towns within the city). When deciding on the installation location for storage batteries and power conditioners, it is advisable to check the assumptions for your residence on the hazard map and consider the height and position of the installation for peace of mind.

■ Tokyo’s annual sunshine hours are approximately 1,927 hours

According to the Meteorological Agency’s average values (1991-2020), Tokyo’s annual sunshine hours are about 1,927 hours.
The amount of electricity generated varies by season, so it’s important to conduct annual generation simulations and choose the capacity of storage batteries to match the times when electricity usage is high.

■ Check for shadows from surrounding buildings and trees

In areas where buildings or trees are close by, the way shadows fall varies for each house depending on the roof’s orientation and height. Since solar panels generate less electricity when shaded, Kakeru Koumuten creates layout diagrams based on the drawings and the actual site conditions, allowing you to confirm through generation simulations. Additionally, in areas close to trees, branches and fallen leaves may accumulate around the panels and rain gutters, so please consult us about inspections and cleaning after installation.

■ City subsidies for the 2026 fiscal year have ended; Tokyo’s grants require prior application

The subsidy for the installation costs of eco-house equipment in Fuchu City (2026 fiscal year) has reached its budget limit and is no longer accepting applications. The Tokyo subsidy (Cool Net Tokyo) requires prior application before installation, so it is important to check the order of procedures before contracting and starting work.

■ In narrow front road areas, plan scaffolding and equipment delivery carefully

In areas where the front road is narrow or where surrounding buildings are close together, careful planning for scaffolding and equipment delivery may be necessary. Kakeru Koumuten will respond to the site conditions with our own scaffolding team and scaffolding materials.

■ Check the roof condition according to the building’s age

For buildings that have been around for several years, it is important to check the condition of the roofing materials and substrate before installing solar panels. Depending on the roof’s condition, installing them simultaneously with roof renovations can help reduce future costs for removing and reattaching solar panels.
