Keith Addison;
Just wondering if you might be interested in including our solar
tracker (or a modified version) as one of your projects . What have

Ironic. IIRC, several Japanese and Korean companies (Mitsubishi,
Kyocera, Sharp, Samsung, Korea Electric, others) were seen as complicit
in the development and timing of the Ontario Green Energy Act in the
spring/summer of 2009.
My recollection was that they planned to build photovoltaic or
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

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
Hi Oskar, thanks, good pull-together.
Hi I wanted to add a few comments here,
but came to think it is not really needed.
Not really, no. :-(
One thing to add, I think most domestic hot water in Japan is
currently heated by passive solar systems.

According to Nikkei Newspaper of
Thank you for your reply.
2007, solar thermal systems installed total in Japan
residential use was 1%, simple batch heaters less than 7%
and rapidly *de*creasing.

In Tokyo, the *first* condo with solar thermal was

That doesn't seem to be right, Oskar.
This is from Wikipedia, mostly about PV:
Solar power in Japan has been expanding since the late 1990s. The
country is a leading manufacturer of solar panels and is in the top
5 ranking for countries with the most solar PV installed. Japan is
third in the

In your first comment you mentioned passive solar water heaters,
in connection with most domestic hot water in Japan,
which is solar _thermal_.
I quoted the proliferation data for solar thermal water
I understood that Japan didn't subsidize that heavily at least not
compared to north american electricity rates.
In Canada the rate is about 6 cents per kwh but then they add surcharges
and debt recovery for our defunct candu reactors that never run right
and the total charge is about 13 cents
According to Nikkei Newspaper of 14 Sept 2010 and other
newspaper reports,
Tokyo Electric announced its business plan to triple
electricity production in India, China, and other
Asian countries within 10 years mainly based on caloric power plants.
