SHENZHEN, China -- Major solar panel manufacturer Canadian Solar plans to start selling home storage batteries in Japan in 2024, tapping into demand for countermeasures against power outages from earthquakes and other natural disasters. Canadian Solar is a global player in solar panels, with an estimated 15% market share in Japan. It plans to use its existing sales network to market an integrated system where power generated by solar panels during the day can be stored in a battery and used at night.
