Hi Joe
Sorry, I don't know the subsidy rate in Japan offhand. I'll browse
around on my hard disk a bit, but not today. But I think you're
right, not very heavily subsidised.
All best
Keith
I understood that Japan didn't subsidize that heavily at least not
compared to north american

The puzzle is easy to solve - you are confusing completely different
forms of solar energy:
I don't agree, I think it's you who did that. I talked of passive
solar water heaters, you added thermal, which didn't add much,
IMHO, then quoted very low figures, which I disagree with, and
Right, at present the feed-in tariff is not so important.
The attractive subsidy for photovoltaics in Japan
is for the purchased device, not for the generated electricity.
For Tokyo residents, it is JPY100.000 per installed kWp from the
Tokyo Metropolitan (local) budget PLUS JPY70.000 per kWp
national flower is the concrete cloverleaf.
