In 2020, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of photovoltaic prosumers stood at 24.7 Japanese yen per kilowatt hour. Figures were estimated to decrease down to around 4.6 yen in 2050.
The term prosumer combines the words producer and consumer. Prosumers are persons, that are energy consumers and energy producers at the same time. In the solar energy industry, prosumers usually use PV systems on their rooftops to generate electricity.

(in Japanese yen)
The LCOE describes the costs that are necessary for converting energy from another form of energy into electricity. 100 Japanese yen equal 0.74 U.S. dollars or 0.70 euros as of December 2022.
