Japan has 1.8 gW installed solar capacity for Q2 and this favors more installation. What caused this surge?
You guessed it from FIT since 2012 and what was the cause?
You guessed it right again; this was due to the TEPCo Fukushima nuclear accident from the tsunami of March 2011. The radiation, the evacuation, and the radiation leak from the meltdown has traumatized Japanese and many countries away from nuclear power plants. Since 2012, 3.67 gW of capacity has been installed; about 7 gW could be installed by the end of the year.
There is a total of 17.8 gW of approved but not commissioned PV projects and the problem (as in PHL RE implementation) is grid connectivity. Here it is the net metering. Only 50 kwh is allowed, and prices will be only equal to generating costs. (Hahaha - that is the way to encourage renewables here in the PHL)
