Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd.
Kokusai Kogyo and Nippon Living Guarantee enter into business partnership/Start offering “Economic Effect Simulation Guarantee” for solar power generation and power storage systems
~ Utilizing predictive analysis to strengthen the field of “simulation assurance” that commits to performance effects ~
……
Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President: Satoshi Hijikata) is a subsidiary of Nippon Living Guarantee Co., Ltd. (President: Yoshitaka Adachi), which operates as a WorthTech Company that maximizes the value of assets in daily life. In partnership with Nippon Living Guarantee), we offer a monthly cloud-based solar and storage battery economic effect simulation service, Enegaeru (https://www.enegaeru.com), which we provide to renewable
energy-related businesses. ) series, we will begin offering Japan’s first*1 “Economic Effect Simulation Guarantee.”
■Background
In order to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050, society is facing increasing expectations for the use of renewable energy such as solar panels and storage batteries, as well as the recent rise in
electricity costs nationwide and the mandatory installation of solar panels in Tokyo. Against this backdrop, residential and industrial solar power generation and power storage systems are rapidly attracting attention.
In our own report, more than 40% of corporate managers and executives who were presented with simulations of industrial self-consumption solar power and storage batteries answered that they could not fully imagine the economic effects. More than half of the respondents who were not presented with the simulation said, “If there was a reliable simulation, I would have wanted to introduce it, depending on the cost,” confirming the growing need for economic effect simulation. *2.
Against this background, we have entered into a business alliance with Nippon Living Guarantee to offer Japan’s first*1 “Economic Effect Simulation Guarantee” as an optional service for our “Enegaeru” series.
Together with the Japan Living Guarantee, we will strengthen our “Simulation Guarantee,” which guarantees the performance effects calculated through simulations using Enegaeru, by providing the “Economic Effect Simulation Guarantee.” Traditionally, providing warranties requires the collection and analysis of actual data such as failure rates, but such actual data is currently scarce when providing warranties in new technological fields that are expected to increase in the future. Starting with this service, we will further strengthen our expansion into new warranty fields by utilizing predictive analysis technology using AI.
