<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
After the Feed-in Tariffs scheme started in 2012, installation of photovoltaics especially for non-residential
(commercial) purpose has been accelerated in Japan. Photovoltaic facility installation for business causes several impacts on
natural environment such as Satoyama including artificial forests and agricultural lands. To tackle with negative impacts of
business photovoltaics installation, over 160 local governments including four prefectures have set each regulation ordinance
for new photovoltaics developments so far. On the other hand, Tokyo Metropolitan government has succeeded to adopt new
regulation rules for housing makers to install photovoltaics for new house by compulsion. This paper proposes our original
“Regulation Pyramids for Photovoltaics Installation” and clarifies important points during the discussion process of Tokyo
Metropolitan government, in the context of Japan’s SDGs-related policy circumstance.
