. Japanese PV market immeasurable

Japan shut down the nuclear power plant of the territory after the Fukushima nuclear accident, and policy development at the same time, through the FIT legislation, the development of solar power. Japan launched a clean energy incentive program after five months, the country saw a booming momentum of the solar photovoltaic power generation projects installed. For those who saw in mature markets such as Germany, Hungary wane and solar PV cell manufacturers unable to do anything in terms of, this is undoubtedly a good news.

Japan in the 1970s, is a pioneer in photovoltaic power generation and will continue to play an important role in the coming years. Better environment for the development of solar energy in Japan. Therefore, in the next few years, the use of solar energy in Japan will surge. solar panel has made an important contribution to a reliable energy supply is essential to ensure that people living in Japan.

JPEA (Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association) pointed out that after the nuclear disaster since March 11, 2011, the Japanese government decided to limit the use of nuclear energy, the full development of renewable energy, and renewable energy bill in July 2012. NTT said, adding that Japan implemented 42 yen / kWh electricity price subsidies will promote the rapid growth of the solar market.

JPEA also said that Japan has 80% of the solar panel price photovoltaic installation roof system, the world's largest installed capacity in Germany only 10% of the domestic installation of roof. Japan's future strategic direction is to improve the installation of non-residential systems in order to increase installed. As of April 2012, Japan's PV installed capacity cumulative reach 4GW, expected to reach 34GW in 2020 and 2030 to reach 100GW.

SunPower recently pointed out in its quarterly conference call on the third quarter of 2012, more than 10% of total revenue in the quarter Japanese, and European markets are recession. Third quarter, SunPower Asia-Pacific sales quarter increased by 20% year-on-year, $ 58 million, driven mainly by the Japanese distribution agreement signed with Toshiba, the company said it has extended to the exclusive supply agreement with the Japanese electronics giant in 2018.

The SunPower Corporation said that due to the introduction of the new feed-in tariff in 2012, the Japanese market is expected to be strong growth and extend the sale agreement Toshiba components including raising the annual assembly shipments to more than 100MW. Since 2010 a partnership with Toshiba, which has been transported to Japan over 150MW efficient components. The company said the third quarter of 2012, shipments to Japan increased by 30% sequentially.

At the same time, Germany's SolarWorld sales offices in Japan, marking the company began to enter the Japanese market. Branch SolarWorldAsiaPacific headquarters of the company is located in Singapore, has been active in the development of the Japanese market for more than a year, its sales partners ESI (European mppt charge controller innovation company) will support the sales practices of the company's Tokyo sales office support.

In Optoelectronics Group (ETSolarGroup) has also announced the Japan branch was formally established in Tokyo, mainly related to sales of photovoltaic modules and photovoltaic power generation system development business. Solar into the PV market in Japan for many years, the company has achieved the Japanese residential at the top of the solar system JPEC certification, develop new chips for the company's business in Japan.

With high-quality products and leading-edge manufacturing technology, Sheng recognized and favored by some of Japan's world-class manufacturing companies, orders in good condition. In addition, Sheng close cooperation with local leading solar PV companies in Japan, the development of new PV module technology.
