A: Hey! Did you hear anything new about solar power in Japan?
B: No! What’s up?
A: Apparently, the government might stop helping big solar farms soon. Like, from 2027.
B: Really? Why would they do that?
A: They’re worried about the impact on nature, I guess. Big solar farms take up a lot of space.
B: Oh, I see. So, no more new big ones?
A: Not exactly. They think solar panels are cheaper now, so they don’t need that much help.
B: That makes sense. But what about our goals for more solar energy?
A: They’re still aiming for 29% by 2040!
B: Wow, that's a lot! How are they going to do it then?
A: They’re going to focus on new, super-thin solar cells called perovskite cells. They can go on walls!
B: That’s amazing! So, still solar, just… different?
A: Exactly! And they're still helping people put solar panels on their houses, too.
