  • We have closed new applications for the special offer that allows you to start using "QuUn" at a discount.

6. Q&A regarding the expiration of the purchase period

  • 買取期間満了後の電気は売電できないの?

    After the purchase period has expired, customers can sell the electricity they generate to a retail electricity supplier of their choice (including our company).

    However, if there is no Buyback company after the purchase period expires, customers with low voltage contracts (power generation output of less than 50kW) will be able to continue generating electricity by connecting to our grid for the time being, but please note that general electricity transmission and distribution companies will not provide compensation (payment of fees).

    Please be aware that there is information about businesses selling storage batteries under false pretenses such as "we will no longer be able to purchase your electricity after the purchase period has expired."

  • I received a notice about the expiration of the purchase period even though it has not yet been 10 (or 20) years since I started selling electricity. Why?

    The purchase period for each Power generation equipment starts from the date Power generation equipment started selling electricity, not from the date the customer started selling electricity. For example, in the case of solar Power generation equipment installed at a place where you have moved, the purchase period includes the period when the previous occupant sold electricity and the period when the property was vacant. Therefore, even if 10 (or 20) years have not passed since the customer started selling electricity, the purchase period will expire when 10 (or 20) years have passed since Power generation equipment started selling electricity.

  • What is the difference between purchases under the FIT system and purchases after the purchase period has expired?

    Under the FIT scheme, purchases were made at a price and for a period set by the government, but after the purchase period expired, purchases would be made under conditions set by each retail electricity business.

  • Can I continue the current purchase price even after the purchase period has expired?

    Under the FIT system, the government set the purchase price taking into consideration the recovery of installation costs for solar Power generation equipment etc. In addition, the purchase cost was borne by all electricity users as a "Renewable Energy Generation Promotion Surcharge."

    Please understand that after the purchase period expires, the item will no longer be subject to these systems and the purchase price will be changed.

  • What does it mean to impute capacity value?

    For contracts that continue with us after the purchase period expires, you will agree to us bidding and entering into contracts as a variable energy source (aggregator) in the capacity market, which is scheduled to begin trading in fiscal year 2024.
