Reasons Why Kakeru Koumuten is Chosen for Solar Panel Installation in Higashiyamato City, Tokyo
The reasons why our company is entrusted with solar panel installation by customers in Higashiyamato City, Tokyo include
one reason being that “Kakeru Koumuten covers Kanagawa Prefecture and Tokyo as its service area”,
and we have “strengths in solar panel installation that cannot be imitated by other companies”, which has received high praise from many customers.
so we would appreciate it if you could compare our estimates with those of other companies.
Because we are confident, we welcome estimates from any number of companies!
1. We Can Also Handle Exterior Renovations Aside from Solar Panel Installation!

Troubles such as leaks that occur during solar panel installation may be caused by insufficient checks on the roof and waterproofing at the installation site.
Even if you are knowledgeable about solar panels, there are cases where the roof and waterproofing at the installation site are outside your expertise, so caution is necessary.
It is reassuring to have knowledge about the roof to avoid maintenance and troubles after installation!
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. is strong in roofing work and can also detach and attach solar panels in-house, allowing for quick responses to maintenance and urgent troubles after solar panel installation!
2.Facilities Specialized in Exterior Renovation
Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd. has organized the following warehouses and material storage areas to provide low-cost, high-quality solar work and exterior renovations.
We have established five bases centered around Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture for material storage and showrooms.
In-house Ownership of Scaffolding Materials


To ensure safety during work on the roof, we own the necessary scaffolding materials for temporary scaffolding based on construction conditions, allowing us to assemble scaffolding ourselves.
By performing scaffolding work with our own scaffolding team instead of outsourcing, we can also reduce scaffolding construction costs.
We have scaffolding materials for approximately 50 single-family homes!
In Higashiyamato City, our own scaffolding team will plan the scaffolding according to the site conditions.
Storage of materials in our large warehouse

We store roofing materials and paints, and we can also store removed solar panels.
By ordering a large quantity of materials at once, we canpurchase materials at a lower cost!
Additionally, since we always have stock of roofing materials, we can ensurequick responses in emergencies!
Sorting and transporting waste materials in-house
The installation of solar panels often involves roofing work, generating various waste materials such as paint, wood, and metal.
By sorting and recycling waste materials, we can significantly cut waste disposal costs.
Exterior renovation dedicated showroom


In the showroom, not only can you have meetings, but you can also
check the actual foundation brackets for solar panels and see how they are installed on the roofing materials!
Simulations for potential earnings and installation costs when introducing solar panels are also available!
Since roofing and exterior wall work often accompany each other, we also provide samples of roofing materials and models that show the structure, allowing for detailed explanations!
3.All Work Performed by Our Own Team
One of Kakeru Koumuten’s major strengths is all work performed by our own team.
By maintaining a consistent system from inquiry to project completion, Kakeru Koumuten can provide high-quality roof remodeling at reduced costs.
Additionally, one representative will handle everything from the estimate to project completion.
Since the same person will manage sales and construction, smooth communication is ensured.
We can perform consistent in-house work from temporary scaffolding installation to exterior wall painting and roof remodeling!
4. Various Permits and Skilled Workers


We have obtained construction industry permits and permits for industrial waste collection and transportation!
We also have nationally certified sheet metal and painting technicians, and we are confident in our construction skills.
We can also handle large-scale roofing projects such as factories!
5. Warranty and Aftercare
In addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, our solar panel installation work comes with our own workmanship warranty (leakage warranty)!
(The workmanship warranty for solar panel installation is 10 years. Depending on the condition of the roof before installation, we may not be able to provide a warranty unless roof renovation is performed. The workmanship warranty is separate from the manufacturer’s product warranty, and the coverage and conditions vary based on the warranty details.)
Aftercare maintenance is available annually, and we send out notification DM each year.
If you have any questions about the warranty, please click on the image above!
6. Flexible and Prompt Response
We are equipped to handle various roof troubles and situations.
Even if we cannot access the roof at high places, we can respond using a drone!
During leakage investigations, we can also conduct inspections using a thermal imaging camera.
If the power generation of the solar panels decreases due to dirt, we can also perform cleaning with a specialized brush.
We will respond according to the customer’s wishes.
7. Human Resource Development
We create various roof models for skill enhancement and conduct practical training.
Since the construction methods vary depending on the shape and slope of the roof, we regularly conduct technical training to ensure that each staff member can handle various cases.
8. Creation of Clear Materials and Simulations
At Kakeru Koumuten, we provide not only “estimates,” “layout diagrams,” and “power generation simulations” but also a “solar installation guidebook” and a “financial simulation” that takes into account loan interest rates and electricity costs.
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 or 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, 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 by panel size, so we compare based on the total output of the roof. |
| 5. Method of securing and waterproofing details | We check whether the method involves drilling holes in the roofing material or securing it with brackets. The method of securing varies by technique, so please confirm the waterproofing treatment of the fastening 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 be an option if necessary. |
| 7. Location of equipment installation and wiring | We check the installation locations for the power conditioner and storage batteries, as well as the wiring route to the distribution board. The length of the wiring also affects costs. |
Securing 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 suited to 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 perform roof renovations 10 to 20 years after installation, there will be additional costs for removing and installing 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 installation of solar panels in-house, so please consult us according to the condition of your roof!

Solar Panel Installation & Storage Battery Installation Price List

⇧Service Menu | Click here for costs related to Solar Panel Removal and Water Heater Removal
Breakdown of Installation Capacity, Equipment, and Construction Costs
The costs for solar panels and storage batteries should be confirmed by separating them into “Equipment Costs (Device Costs)” and “Construction Costs”.
Even for the same “Complete Solar Panel Installation,” 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 (kilowatt). Storage batteries are compared based on the amount of electricity they can store, expressed in kWh (kilowatt-hour).
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 panel installation costs as follows: for 3–5 kW, 800,000 JPY to 1,200,000 JPY; for 6–10 kW, 1,200,000 JPY to 1,900,000 JPY. (These are just estimated amounts and may vary based on wiring length, scaffold area, existing roofing materials, panel layout, etc.)
▶ Installation Menu | Costs for Solar Panel and Storage Battery Installation
Items to Check in the Estimate (Cost Verification)
When comparing estimates, it is common to compare different capacities and equipment. Please check if the following items are clearly stated in each company’s estimate!
| 1. Solar Panels | Manufacturer, model number, output per panel (W), number of panels, total installation capacity (kW) should be listed. |
| 2. Power Conditioner | Manufacturer, model number, capacity, number of units, installation location (indoor/outdoor). Also check if it is a type that controls the storage battery together. |
| 3. Storage Battery | Manufacturer, model number, capacity (kWh), range of use during power outages (whole house or specific circuits), installation location. |
| 4. Mounting Frame and Hardware | Name of the hardware suitable for the roofing material and the method of securing it (whether it involves drilling holes or clamping). |
| 5. Wiring and Electrical Work | Wiring route and length, work around the distribution board, and whether there is a monitor to check the power generation amount. |
| 6. Roof Reinforcement and Waterproofing | Details of waterproofing treatment at the fixed parts, and whether necessary roof repairs and substrate reinforcements are included. |
| 7. Applications | How much support is included for applications to the power company, feed-in tariff (FIT) certification applications, 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 water heaters or old panels and disposal costs for waste materials are included. |
| 10. Tax Classification and Warranty | Whether the price is tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive, conditions under which additional costs may arise, and details and duration of manufacturer and workmanship warranties. |

How to Choose a Solar Panel Installation Contractor in Higashiyamato City, Tokyo
There are many solar panel installation contractors available in Higashiyamato City, Tokyo, and you may be unsure which contractor to choose.
Therefore, when requesting solar panel installation and battery storage installation work, let’s check the following four points.
● Have extensive knowledge not only about solar panels but also about roofs
● Confirm the presence of warranties and aftercare maintenance
● Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (three companies is a guideline)
● Check if they provide support for subsidy applications
By confirming the above four points, you will be able to choose a reliable contractor.
Knowledge about roofs as well as solar panels
Defective installation of solar panels can sometimes be caused by a lack of knowledge and verification 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 caused by insufficient verification of roofs and waterproofing
・Solar panels installed on a deteriorated roof causing leaks
・Solar panels installed on a roof with a short lifespan, requiring removal and reinstallation within a few years
・Incorrect processing due to misjudgment of the type of waterproofing, resulting 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 Verification Before Installing Solar Panels” in this article
Confirm the presence of warranties and aftercare maintenance
When choosing a solar installation contractor, let’s confirm the presence 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 presence of a workmanship warranty in case leaks occur after installation!
For contractors that offer a workmanship warranty, 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-service separate from the warranty, so make sure to check if the contractor you are considering has after-service.
Changes or damages on the roof may occur in areas that are not visible, so there is a possibility that customers may not notice them.
By conducting inspections in after-maintenance, even in areas that are not visible, it becomes easier to detect abnormalities early, preventing major repairs or breakdowns!
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-maintenance and send out annual DM!
After checking the DM, if you wish, we will visit for after-maintenance!
Obtain estimates from multiple contractors (3 companies as a guideline)
When requesting solar panel installation, be sure to obtain estimates from multiple contractors.
Even for the same manufacturer and the same construction content, costs may vary, and warranties and after-services may differ.
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,
“Check the estimate items”
“Type of solar panels”
“Warranties and after-services”
and make a detailed comparison to make your judgment! If the rank of auxiliary materials is low or if steps are skipped, costs can be reduced, so avoid judging solely based on price!
▶ Go to “Breakdown of installation capacity, equipment, and construction costs” in this article
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 applied for by the contractor, as well as systems that require prior application before installation, so it is reassuring to have a contractor that supports the preparation of necessary documents and the flow of procedures.
Complete the procedures specified for each system (for Tokyo’s subsidy, prior application before installation) 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 be granted after a review! (The procedure varies 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
The biggest advantage of introducing solar panels is the economic benefit!
While the selling price of electricity has decreased compared to ten years ago, you can gain benefits by reducing the electricity you buy from power companies through self-consumption of generated electricity!
As electricity prices rise, the ability to cover your consumption with solar power becomes increasingly attractive!
If you plan to use the generated electricity 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 in the 2026 fiscal year. After the fifth year, it is generally more advantageous to use it at home (self-consumption), making the combination with storage batteries a viable option.
👉 For purchase prices and periods, click here
Benefit 2: You Can Utilize Subsidies!
The conditions and amounts of subsidies vary by prefecture and municipality, but if you meet the criteria, you may be able to utilize subsidies!
The reduction of the actual burden amount through subsidies is a significant advantage!
In the case of Higashiyamato City, there may be applicable programs from the national government and Tokyo Metropolitan Government (the city’s unique subsidies for residential solar power and storage batteries have not been confirmed on the city’s official page).
Benefit 3: Environmentally Friendly!
Solar power generation has low carbon dioxide emissions and can reduce 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 like power conditioners may have operational noise.)
Benefit 4: Expect Heat Insulation Effects!!
By installing 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 building’s insulation performance itself.)
Benefit 5 Electricity can be used even during power outages!!
If a storage battery is installed, it becomes possible to use electricity even during emergencies such as 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 points should be noted when introducing solar power generation?
Next, we will explain the “three points to note” when installing solar panels!
Point 1 Maintenance costs can be incurred
A maintenance cost that is particularly easy to overlook is the roof where solar panels are installed.
If you perform roof renovations 10 to 20 years later, there will be costs for removing and reinstalling the solar panels.
If the existing roof is deteriorated, it is reassuring to renovate 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 consider maintenance costs in simulations 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 or 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.)
Catch-type base metal fittings for horizontal 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 capacity, replacing with a lighter roof may also be an 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!
How to Choose 1: Compare by 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 generating more power is always better!
The size and output of solar panels vary by manufacturer.
For example, a 350W output panel and a 400W output panel may seem that the higher output panel is better at first glance.
However, if the size of the panel does not fit well with 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 installation capacities on the same roof due to the size difference.
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 calculations are for total output (kW). The actual power generation (kWh) will vary depending on conditions such as roof orientation, slope, and shading.
How to Choose 2: Compare by 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.
By not deciding solely based on initial output and considering the degradation rate, you can choose solar panels without regrets!
How to Choose 3: Compare by 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!
It’s always better to have a longer warranty, so let’s check the warranty periods and conditions of the manufacturers you are considering!

How much does it cost to install solar panels and storage batteries in Higashiyamato City?
The cost varies depending on the installation capacity, equipment, and condition of the roof. In the above case study (solar panel 4.3kW + storage battery, completed in April 2025), it was 2.2 million yen to 2.3 million yen.
Guidelines for costs by capacity are published on the solar panel and storage battery installation pricing page. We will create a layout diagram from the drawings and site survey and provide a free estimate!
Are there any subsidies available for solar and storage battery installation in Higashiyamato 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 after October 1, 2026. Regarding Higashiyamato City, there are no city-specific subsidies for residential solar power generation and storage batteries confirmed on the city’s official page. The national DR home storage battery project has ended its public recruitment.
The availability of subsidies may change, so please refer to the subsidy and grant section and consult with us before signing a contract.
Can I apply for subsidies after the construction is completed?
For 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.
Since the order of procedures varies by program, 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 method of securing varies by construction method, and in methods that secure brackets to the roofing material or substrate, waterproofing of the fixed parts is essential.
Kakeru Koumuten is a specialized exterior renovation company strong in roofing work, so we will check the condition of the roof before installation, and if deterioration is advanced, we can also propose methods such as roof overlay (cover method) or replacement before installation.
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 about the installation process after confirming the condition of the roof through a site survey!
Is it better to install a storage battery together with solar panels?
For those who want to use 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 blueprints and site survey, and provide you with the installation capacity and power generation simulation.
In Higashiyamato City, the shadowing from 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 shape of the roof 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 4 years will be 24 yen/kWh, and from the 5th to the 10th year, it will be 8.3 yen/kWh, and the same price will apply for the fiscal year 2026.
The idea is to recover initial costs quickly in the first 4 years and then focus on self-consumption. Kakeru Koumuten provides a financial simulation that considers 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 specialized 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 also renovate roofs that already have 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 information on costs, please see the solar panel removal and water heater removal pricing page.

Characteristics of Higashiyamato City, Tokyo, and Points for Solar Construction
Higashiyamato City is located in the Tama region. The official page of Higashiyamato City provides a flood and landslide hazard map.
Below are points to consider regarding the residential environment of Higashiyamato City and when installing solar panels and storage batteries (tap to open).
View the characteristics of Higashiyamato City and points for solar construction
■ Check the installation locations of storage batteries and power converters against the hazard map assumptions
The Flood and Landslide Hazard Map of Higashiyamato City shows the expected flooding scenarios due to the maximum possible rainfall (156mm in one hour and a total of 657mm) for the five rivers: Kurome River, Ochiai River, Yanase River, Sorabori River, and Narahashi River. Additionally, there are designated landslide warning areas within the city. When deciding on the installation location for storage batteries and power conditioners, it is advisable to check the hazard map for the expected conditions at your residence 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 Japan Meteorological Agency’s average values (1991-2020), Tokyo’s annual sunshine hours are about 1,927 hours.
The power generation varies by season, so it is important to conduct an annual power generation simulation and choose the capacity of the storage battery according to the times when electricity is used the most.
■ 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 power when shaded, Kakeru Koumuten creates layout diagrams based on the drawings and the actual site conditions, allowing you to confirm through power 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.
■ No local subsidies confirmed; Tokyo’s subsidies are the main focus
As of October 7, 2026, the official page of Higashiyamato City did not confirm any local subsidies for residential solar power generation or storage batteries. The Tokyo subsidies (Cool Net Tokyo) require prior application before installation, so it is important to check the order of procedures before contracting and starting construction.
■ In narrow front road areas, plan scaffolding and equipment delivery carefully
In areas with narrow front roads or where surrounding buildings are close together, it may be necessary to plan scaffolding and equipment delivery carefully. Kakeru Koumuten will respond according to the site 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 many 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 reinstalling solar panels.
